Hollywood breakups are usually messy. You expect the lawyers, the leaked "source" quotes, and the immediate unfollowing on Instagram. But when Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet called it quits, everyone had one specific question: what happens to Zoe Kravitz?
If you’ve followed this family for more than five minutes, you know they aren’t normal. And I mean that in the best way possible. While most celebrity families struggle to share a Thanksgiving table, the Kravitz-Momoa-Bonet clan basically invented the "blended family" blueprint.
Honestly, the bond between Zoe Kravitz and Jason Momoa is probably more solid than most biological relationships in Tinseltown. Even now, with 2026 well underway and the dust long settled on the divorce, the "Papa Bear" energy is still very much alive.
The Step-Dad Who Actually Showed Up
Let’s look back for a second because context is everything. Jason started dating Lisa Bonet in 2005. At that point, Zoe was a teenager, already navigating the weird world of being the daughter of rock royalty Lenny Kravitz and the ethereal Lisa Bonet.
A lot of guys would have been intimidated. Not Jason. He didn't just "date her mom"; he folded himself into Zoe’s life. He famously calls her "ZoZo." She calls him "Papa Bear."
They even have matching tattoos. Yeah, actual permanent ink. Back in 2018, they both got “être toujours ivre” tattooed on their forearms. It’s French for "to be always drunk"—a nod to a Charles Baudelaire poem about being intoxicated by life, poetry, or virtue. You don't get matching Baudelaire tattoos with someone unless the vibe is real.
Supporting Each Other Through the 2024 Finalization
When Jason and Lisa finalized their divorce in July 2024, the internet braced for impact. We’ve seen this movie before—usually, the stepchildren get caught in the crossfire. But the paperwork was surprisingly chill. They waived spousal support, agreed on joint custody for the younger kids (Lola and Nakoa-Wolf), and moved on.
But what about Zoe?
During the height of her Blink Twice press tour—which was a huge deal as her directorial debut—Jason was front and center. He wasn't there as "the ex-husband." He was there as the proud parent. It’s a nuance that Google’s algorithms and tabloid headers sometimes miss: you can stop being a husband without stopping being a father figure.
The Channing Tatum Factor
Things got even more complicated—and then simpler—when Zoe’s own personal life hit the headlines. As of late 2024 and throughout 2025, news broke that Zoe and Channing Tatum had called off their engagement.
If you were looking for drama, you didn't find it with Jason. Insiders noted that Momoa remained a sounding board for Zoe during the split. There’s a specific kind of comfort in having a 6'4" Aquaman in your corner who has also navigated a high-profile public breakup. He’s been through the "seismic shifts" he talked about in his own divorce announcement, and he’s clearly passed those survival tips down to "ZoZo."
Why the "Beef" Rumors Are Baseless
Every few months, a YouTube thumbnail pops up claiming Zoe "broke her silence" about Jason and that "it's not good."

It’s clickbait. Pure and simple.
There was a brief window where fans speculated about tension when Jason went public with actress Adria Arjona in May 2024. People love to project. They assumed Zoe would be "team Mom" and freeze Jason out.
But look at the timeline. Jason and Adria have been doing the red carpet circuit through 2025, and Zoe has remained perfectly supportive. In fact, the "bromance" between Jason and Lenny Kravitz—Zoe’s biological dad—is still so strong it’s almost annoying. They still ride motorcycles together. They still post birthday tributes.
If your biological dad and your former step-dad are still best friends, there’s no room for a "rift."

The Reality of Blended Life in 2026
What most people get wrong about Zoe Kravitz and Jason Momoa is the assumption that their relationship was conditional on his marriage to Lisa.
It wasn’t.
Jason has spent nearly twenty years as a fixture in Zoe's life. He was there before Game of Thrones. He was there before Aquaman. He saw her go from a young girl to a powerhouse director and actress.
Key Takeaways for the Fans:
- The "Papa Bear" Title is Permanent: Divorce didn't strip Jason of his role in the family.
- Support goes both ways: Zoe has been just as vocal about Jason’s new projects as he has been about hers.
- Lenny is the glue: The friendship between Lenny Kravitz and Jason Momoa ensures that the family remains a unit, regardless of legal marriage status.
So, if you see a headline tomorrow saying they’ve stopped speaking, take it with a grain of salt. These two have built something that survives legal filings. They aren't just "ex-relatives." They're family.
For anyone looking to keep up with their latest projects, keep an eye on Zoe’s upcoming acting roles in the Alpha Gang project—where her professional resilience is on full display—and Jason’s continued work in the environmental space alongside Adria Arjona. They’re both busy, they’re both moving forward, and they’re definitely still "ZoZo" and "Papa Bear."
Check out Jason’s recent Instagram posts from his travels in Japan if you want to see how he's balancing his new relationship with his old "family first" philosophy. It’s a masterclass in moving on without leaving people behind.
