After finalizing his divorce from Lisa Bonet in January 2024, Jason Momoa went public with his new relationship with actress Adria Arjona in May. The Aquaman star shared an Instagram photo from a dinner in Japan, where he lovingly hugged Arjona and referred to her as his “amor.” This announcement followed his earlier hint at Basingstoke Comic Con, where he teased, “I am very much in a relationship” and promised more details soon.
In June 2024, Momoa opened up during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, revealing that Arjona had become his partner in motorcycle riding. “My lady likes to ride. Any excuse for more hugs,” he joked, sharing a glimpse of their shared adventures.
According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE in August 2024, Momoa has been spending a lot of time with Arjona. “She makes him happy. She’s adventurous and grounded,” the source explained. “They love being outdoors and enjoy riding motorcycles together.”

Before his relationship with Arjona, Momoa briefly dated actress Eiza González after his separation from Bonet in 2022. Both Momoa and Arjona have experienced growing careers, with Momoa known for his iconic roles in Aquaman and Game of Thrones, and Arjona rising to fame through films like Morbius and the Netflix movie Hit Man.
Arjona, born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on April 25, 1992, spent her early years in Mexico City before moving to Miami. In interviews, she has expressed how her multicultural upbringing has influenced her identity and career, noting that she feels connected to Puerto Rico, Guatemala (through her father’s side), and Mexico, but doesn’t feel fully tied to any one place. She has also mentioned how her complex background has contributed to her acting journey.
Her father, renowned Guatemalan singer and songwriter Ricardo Arjona, has been a serious influence in her life. Arjona credits him for pushing her to constantly evolve in her career and remains one of her biggest supporters, always sharing her work with his friends.
At 18, Arjona moved to New York City to pursue acting, enrolling at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. During her time there, she worked as a waitress to support herself, learning the value of hard work, which she says shaped her work ethic.
Arjona’s breakout role came as Dorothy Gale in Emerald City, a reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, though the show was canceled after one season. Since then, she has landed roles in Morbius, Father of the Bride, Good Omens, Andor, and the upcoming Netflix film Hit Man alongside Glen Powell.
In 2019, Arjona married lawyer Edgardo Canales, though the relationship was kept private, and it’s unclear when they parted ways. Before they began dating, Arjona and Momoa worked together on the 2021 film Sweet Girl, where they likely first met. Their relationship became public in May 2024, when Momoa posted a photo of them together in Japan, sharing his appreciation for the experience.
The couple has since continued to show their affection for one another on social media, exchanging heart emojis on each other’s posts. Arjona is also set to star alongside Zoë Kravitz, Momoa’s stepdaughter, in the upcoming movie Blink Twice. Despite his divorce, Momoa has maintained close ties with Kravitz and her father, Lenny Kravitz.
