The two noted love between them would carry on and evolve in ways it wishes to be known.
The note added that they were also freeing each other to be who they are learning to become, and their devotion to the sacred life and children was steady.
According to CNN, the pair met in 2005 when Momoa was not as famous as he is after his stint on Game of Thrones, where he played the role of Khal Drogo.
Bonet was already famous, having played the role, Denise Huxtable, in the 1980s hit TV series The Cosby Show, and when Momoa saw her on TV - he told his mum that she was the one he wanted to marry.
During their first meeting, he wooed her, and it worked - leading to five years in marriage and two children together.

In late 2020, according to US Weekly, the Hawaiian-born Hollywood actor revealed that his family starved after Game of Thrones, and he struggled to pay bills as he was in debt and could not get work, reported Briefly News.

Following Jason's exit from the award-winning show, he got his next break in 2016 when he starred as Aquaman in the DC comic book Universe.
