Jason Momoa was seen for the first time since he announced one week ago that he had split from his partner of 16 years – and wife of four years – Lisa Bonet.
The 42-year-old Hawaii native was walking alone in Los Angeles as he seemed to keep a low profile while he wore a face mask, sunglasses and a cap which his long dark hair was tucked into.
The Game Of Thrones actor was not wearing his wedding ring from the 54-year-old Cosby actress with whom he has two children.
First look: Jason Momoa was seen for the first time since he announced he had split from his partner of 16 years – and wife of four years – Lisa Bonet
Jason was taking a cardboard box to his car outside a grocery store when he was seen.
The Aquaman star had on a black T-shirt that said Bob Marley ’79 on the front. The sleeves were short, showing off his collection of tattoos.
The 6ft4in star also had on dark slacks that were ripped at the knee with black shoes that had beige soles. A beaded necklace hung from his neck.
Jason and Lisa – who started dating in 2005, and married in 2017 – announced last week they are ‘parting ways in marriage’ after feeling ‘the squeeze and changes of these transformational times’.

A joint statement released on star Jason’s Instagram account read: ‘We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding – and our family is of no exception…
‘Feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring And so – We share our Family news – That we are parting ways in marriage. We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy – But so that – as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty.’
The 42-year-old star and Lisa – who shot to fame on ‘The Cosby Show’ – admitted they are devoted to ‘this sacred life’ and their two children, Lola, 14, and 13-year-old Nakoa-Wolf.

They added: ‘The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lives.
‘We free each other -to be who we are learning to become… Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life & our Children. Teaching our Children What’s possible Living the Prayer May Love Prevail. J & L.’
Bonet said she was learning to be ‘authentically me’ and ‘new’ just weeks before she and Momoa announced their split.
Last month the 54-year-old actress admitted she was stepping into a ‘river of uncertainty.’

During a chat with Marisa Tomei for Interview, she was asked ‘what’s calling’ her, and Lisa replied: ‘Definitely learning how to be authentically me, learning to be new, and following this invitation from the universe to step into this river of uncertainty.
‘We’ve eliminated all this extra noise, and now it’s time to grow our roots deeper into our own values.’
Jason previously admitted Lisa – who has actress daughter Zoe Kravitz, 33, from her marriage to singer Lenny Kravitz, which lasted from 1987 to 1993 – was his ‘childhood crush’ after he’d seen her on The Cosby Show.

He said: ‘[She was] literally my childhood crush. ‘I mean, I didn’t tell her that. I didn’t let her know I was a stalker until after we had the kids.
‘If someone says something isn’t possible. I’m like, “Listen here, I married Lisa Bonet. Anything is f***ing possible.”‘
The pair met in a New York jazz club in 2005, and Jason previously admitted he had ‘fireworks going off inside’ when he set eyes on Lisa.
He said: ‘We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I actually had dreaded my hair for her. I had dreadlocks, she had dreadlocks. I literally turned my head around and I see her and she goes, “I’m Lisa.” I turned around to my friend and I screamed. I had fireworks going off inside. I convinced her to take me home, because I was living in a hotel.’
After 12 years as a couple, the pair married in California in 2017 surrounded by their family and friends.
