About Jason Momoa

Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa is an American actor. He made his acting debut as Jason Ioane on the syndicated action drama series Baywatch: Hawaii , which was followed by portrayals of Ronon Dex on the Syfyscience fiction series Stargate Atlantis, and Khal Drogo in the first two seasons of the HBOfantasy drama series  Game of Thrones. An only child, Momoa was born on August 1, 1979, in Honolulu, Hawaii,  to Coni , a photographer, and Joseph Momoa, a painter. His father is Native Hawaiian, while his mother is of German, Irish, and Pawnee ancestry. Shortly after his birth, his parents divorced and he and his mother moved to  Norwalk, Iowa, where he was raised. He graduated from  Norwalk High School where he was part of the soccer team alongside Brandon Routh. He attended the University of Hawaii. At 19 years old, while living and working in Honolulu, Momoa decided to audition for the television series Baywatch Hawaii,  in which he was cast as Jason Ioane. He was in the main cast on the 2004-2005  Fox drama  North Shore as Frankie. Momoa gained his role of Khal Drogo on HBO's Game of Thrones through his audition, in which he performed a Haka, one of many intimidating Māori dances traditionally used to convey a challenge to an opponent, or a welcome to a visitor. Momoa directed and co-wrote Road to Paloma, an American drama thriller film, together with writers Jonathan Hirschbein and Robert Homer Mollohan. The film stars Momoa, Sarah Shahi, Lisa Bonet, Michael Raymond-James and Wes Studi. It premiered at the 2014 Sarasota Film Festival in April 2014. Momoa met his first fiancee, actress Simmone Jade Mackinnon, on the set of Baywatch in 1999. They were together for 6 years and became engaged in 2004. Mackinnon and Momoa called off their engagement after Momoa began a relationship with actress Lisa Bonet in 2005. Although it was previously believed that Momoa and Bonet had married on November 15, 2007, the couple did not marry until October 2017. Daughter Lola Iolani was born in July 2007, and son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha was born in December 2008. In January 2022, Momoa and Bonet announced their split.
