“I actually had dreaded my hair for her,” Momoa said of Bonet. “I had dreadlocks, she had dreadlocks. I literally turned around and I see her and she goes, ‘I’m Lisa.’ I turned around to my friend and I [pretended to scream]. I had f—ing fireworks going off inside, man. I convinced her to take me home, because I was living in a hotel.”

About a year after he and Bonet tied the knot, Momoa told PEOPLE in 2018 that he and his wife kept their relationship fresh with a little humor.

Momoa added, “My wife is amazing. Her ultimate art form is being a phenomenal mother.”
