The world's curiosity about the children of Hollywood icon Jason Momoa has never been higher, especially as both teenagers step into the spotlight with major career moves and the family navigates life post-separation. As of December 12, 2025, the *Aquaman* star's two children with ex-wife Lisa Bonet—Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf—are no longer just "celebrity kids;" they are emerging artists and actors carving their own paths, a journey that has captivated fans who admire the family’s commitment to privacy and their deep Hawaiian roots.
The highly publicized, yet amicable, divorce settlement in early 2024 established a foundation of joint legal custody, ensuring that the former couple remains a united front for their children. This commitment to a strong family unit, or 'ohana,' has allowed Lola, now 18, and Nakoa-Wolf, 17, to pursue their passions, from music and dance to a high-profile acting debut that has already sparked a major industry debate.

The Next Generation: Lola Iolani Momoa's Artistic Path
Lola Iolani Momoa, who turned 18 in the summer of 2025, is quickly establishing her own identity away from her famous parents' shadows. While her father is known for action roles and her mother for classic television, Lola has cultivated a diverse set of artistic interests that point toward a career in the creative arts.
Her passion for music and dance has been a central part of her life. Sources close to the family have noted her dedication to various forms of dance, showcasing a talent that mirrors the artistic flair of her mother and her step-sister, Zoë Kravitz.
In a powerful early step into the film world, Lola made her acting debut in the short film *Canvas of My Life*, which was directed by Brian Andrew Mendoza. This choice of a smaller, more personal project reflects a thoughtful approach to her career, prioritizing meaningful storytelling over an immediate blockbuster debut. Her parents have consistently encouraged her to explore her own creative voice, fostering an environment where she can thrive as an independent artist.
Nakoa-Wolf's Blockbuster Debut and the 'Nepo Baby' Debate
The biggest news surrounding the Momoa children in 2025 is the impending feature film debut of Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. The 17-year-old is confirmed to be joining the cast of *Dune 3*, a role that immediately placed him under the intense Hollywood microscope.
This casting decision inevitably ignited the ongoing "nepotism baby" debate that frequently follows the children of established stars. However, Jason Momoa was quick to shut down the speculation, clarifying that his son secured the role entirely on his own merit.
Momoa expressed immense pride, stating that he had nothing to do with Nakoa-Wolf’s casting and that his son went through the rigorous audition process like any other actor. This public defense highlights the family’s desire to see their children succeed based on their own talent and hard work, rather than relying solely on their famous last name. Nakoa-Wolf's entry into a major sci-fi franchise like *Dune*, where his father had a memorable role, ensures that his career will be closely watched by fans and critics alike.
Co-Parenting and the Strength of the 'Ohana' (Family)
The separation and subsequent divorce of Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet in 2024 was a pivotal moment for the family, yet their handling of the situation set a new standard for amicable co-parenting in Hollywood. The former couple was awarded joint legal custody, a decision that underscores their shared commitment to raising their children in a stable, supportive environment.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Momoa has repeatedly stated that they will always be 'ohana'—the Hawaiian word for family—and that their love for their children is unwavering. This principle of 'ohana' is the cornerstone of their post-divorce life. The children continue to spend quality time with both parents, often attending major events like the *Chief of War* premiere with their father in 2025.
Momoa has been open about the activities he shares with his children, from playing friendly competitive games to embarking on outdoor adventures that connect them to nature and their Hawaiian heritage. He has emphasized that their focus remains on providing a normal, loving life despite the extraordinary circumstances of their fame.
The continued presence of Zoë Kravitz, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf's older half-sister, also reinforces the strength of their blended family. Kravitz maintains a close relationship with Momoa and his children, illustrating that the family bond transcends the divorce of the parents.
As Lola and Nakoa-Wolf Momoa continue to mature, their careers and personal lives are proof that the foundations laid by their parents—a blend of fierce independence, creative passion, and deep cultural pride—are guiding their every step. They are not merely the children of stars; they are the next generation of the Momoa-Bonet-Kravitz artistic dynasty, ready to leave their own indelible mark on the world.
