‘Win Her Back Again’: Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa Divorce Announcement Gets Derailed by Mentions of Actress’ Ex, Lenny Kravitz

Veteran actress Lisa Bonet and her husband, actor Jason Momoa, have announced that, after four years of marriage, they are splitting. The now-former Hollywood couple shared the heartbreaking news earlier this week. 

Bonet, who is most famous for her role as the carefree older sister on the hit sitcom “The Cosby Show,” said in a joint statement posted to the “Aquaman” star’s page that, “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring.”

Bonet and Momoa, who have been together since 2005 after being introduced to each other by mutual friends at a jazz club, noted that they were sharing the news with fans “not because we think it’s newsworthy but so that as we go about our lives, we may do so with dignity and honesty.”

The actress, who is 54, and Moma, 42, still appear to be on good terms following the breakup, stating that “The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to become….” 

The former child star and the action film star share two children: Lola, whom they welcomed in 2007, and their second child, Nakoa-Wolf, born in December 2008. The actress is also mom to “Little Big Things” star Zoë Kravitz, whom she shares with her ex-husband and singer Lenny Kravitz

Fans spared no time before bringing up the “Fly Away” singer’s name following news of the split, including one Twitter user who wrote, “Lenny Kravitz bouta run after Lisa Bonet again.”

“After hearing that Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet are breaking up, all of us are hoping Lenny Kravitz will finally win her back again,” wrote another. 

“My prayer is that Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz will remarry and that Jason Momoa will marry them and serve as Lenny’s best man,” wrote a third user. “This is the only option to make us ALL happy… Right?”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
