Love was definitely in the air at the New York premiere of Jason Momoa's new film, The Wrecking Crew, but it wasn't just the movie stealing the spotlight. In a bold display of affection, Momoa and his girlfriend, Adria Arjona, turned the red carpet into their own romantic stage. The couple, who have been dating since May 2024, weren't shy about packing on the PDA, with Momoa pulling Arjona close and sharing a kiss that had cameras flashing. But here's where it gets controversial—is public affection at a professional event a sweet gesture or an overshare? Let us know what you think in the comments!
The Aquaman star, 46, and his 33-year-old partner looked utterly smitten as they posed together. Momoa, dressed in a striking purple velvet suit paired with a traditional Hawaiian necklace, couldn't take his eyes off Arjona. Meanwhile, the Andor actress stunned in a semi-sheer black dress layered over a bralette, exuding both elegance and edge. Their chemistry was undeniable, leaving fans and onlookers buzzing with excitement.
In a recent interview with People, Momoa gushed about his new relationship, calling Arjona "the love of [his] life." He shared, "I'm very excited, I'm happy we're [aligned] in our schedules. We're both here. She's going to do a film. I'm going to do a film, so it's perfect we get to be here together." This marks Momoa's first public romance since his divorce from Lisa Bonet in 2022, following a 12-year relationship and seven years of marriage.
And this is the part most people miss—Momoa's divorce from Bonet was surprisingly amicable. The pair filed for divorce in January 2022, citing a separation date of October 7, 2020. They agreed to joint custody of their two children, a 16-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son, and divided their assets without dispute. Neither sought financial support, proving that even in Hollywood, breakups can be handled with maturity and respect.
But the night wasn't just about romance. After their PDA moment, Momoa grabbed a baseball bat and playfully smashed the movie's sign—a quirky PR move that showcased his signature charm. In The Wrecking Crew, Momoa stars alongside Dave Bautista as estranged brothers who uncover a conspiracy following their father's mysterious death. The Amazon comedy promises to be a wild ride, blending humor with intrigue.
Arjona, meanwhile, continues to shine in her own right. Known for her role in the Star Wars series Andor and her 2023 film The Hitman with Glen Powell, she's a rising star in her own right. In August, she celebrated Momoa's birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post, writing, "Happy birthday mi amor. There's nothing I love more than doing life by your side. So here's to one more year of being wild and free and to forever growing young. Love you so much babii... Excited for the world to watch what you've poured your heart and soul into for the past years."
As Momoa and Arjona navigate their new relationship in the public eye, one thing is clear: they're both ready for this next chapter. But here's a thought-provoking question for you—in an era of oversharing, does public affection strengthen a relationship or invite unnecessary scrutiny? Share your thoughts below!
