Momoa and the Cosby Show alum have been together since 2005. She was previously married to Lenny Kravitz from 1987 to 1993, and the exes share daughter Zoë Kravitz. It was widely believed that Momoa and Bonet tied the knot in 2007, but they did not make it official until October 2017. Us Weekly broke the news that the couple had a top-secret wedding ceremony at their house in Topanga, California.

“It was a big party and people came from out of town to attend,” a source told Us at the time, while a second insider revealed that the pair obtained a marriage license in Los Angeles a week prior.

Momoa and Bonet recently enjoyed a trip to Italy after attending her daughter Zoë’s June 29 wedding to Karl Glausman in Paris.

The Lion King is in theaters now.
