“We share this 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 couple stated.
“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…”

Bonet, 54, does not have an Instagram account. However Momoa, 42 made the announcement through his social media account.
Actress Lisa Bonet saw great fame in the ’80s and ’90s as Denise on TV’s The Cosby Show and then went on to star in the college-themed spin-off, A Different World.
The Aquaman star and the Cosby Show alum, have been together for some 16 years. They reportedly met at a jazz club in 2005, Oprah Daily reports. Bonet is super private and they got married in an ultra-private ceremony. Momoa once admitted that he had a long-standing crush on Bonet ever since he first saw her on The Cosby Show.
“Ever since I was like, 8 years old and I saw her on the TV, I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one,’” Momoa told James Corden on an episode of The Late Late Show in 2017.
“I’m like, ‘I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life and I’m going to get you.’”
The two share two children son, Nakoa-Wolf and daughter Lola. Bonet has an older daughter Zoe with rocker Lenny Kravitz.
We were really rooting for Bonet and Momoa, but they need to do what’s best for them.
