Jason Momoa's Kids Lola and Nakoa-Wolf Are All Grown Up During Rare Red Carpet Outing
Jason, 45, wore what looked to be traditional tribal garb alongside his all-grown-up daughter, Lola, 17, and son, Nakoa-Wolf, 16, at Ko Olina Beach Park in Kapolei, Hawaii, on Friday, July 18. The actor was all smiles as he rocked an all-black ensemble under a cape and bone necklace, carrying two bone daggers in his hands.
Nakoa-Wolf wore a similar cape over a tank top and a neckpiece made of teeth, while Lola donned a brown dress with cutouts and a matching capelet.
Jason shares his kids with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, whom he announced his separation from in 2022 after a 17-year relationship. They welcomed Lola in 2007 and Nakoa-Wolf in 2008 before officially tying the knot in 2017.
Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet's Sweetest Quotes About Their Family: 'My Greatest Piece of Art'
The Aquaman star said raising teens is different than caring for small children, as he feels a shift in their dynamic now that Lola and Nakoa-Wolf are in high school.
'I spent a lot of time with them when they were younger, which is super important. Then they traveled with me quite a bit. But now, going into high school, they've got their friends and stuff,' he told People in 2024. 'They still like me, which is good. I'm probably losing cool factor daily.'
He added that he was hopeful his kids would visit him on set when they had a break from school.
'I'm dying to see my kids. I get to be Dad,' he said. 'I'm excited for them to get through high school, and then maybe they'll come out, and I'll just help them with their lives.'
Also stepping out to support Jason at the premiere of Chief of War was his girlfriend, Adria Arjona, whom he began dating last year. The actress wore an orange gown with ruffle embellishments as she posed next to Jason on the carpet.
'Last night was sooo special!! I'm so proud of you mi amor @prideofgypsies ❤️❤️ what an honor to celebrate the heart and hard work everyone poured into this show, that honors Hawaii's history,' Arjona, 33, shared via Instagram on Saturday, July 20. 'Can't wait for the world to see Chief of War. Streaming August 1st on @appletv @chief.of.war.'
In June 2024, a source close to the actor told Us Weekly exclusively that Momoa was happy to finally hard launch the pair's relationship on Instagram last year.
'He couldn't wait any longer to tell the world. Jason is in love with Adria, and he definitely sees a future with her,' the insider said. 'Jason hasn't felt this way about somebody in a long time.'

Is Phil Dunster not in Ted Lasso Season 4? 8 other favorites who could be out
Excitement is high for fans of everyone's favorite football-coach-turned-soccer-coach, Ted Lasso as Apple TV+ released the first behind-the-scenes clip of Season 4 on Monday, giving a glimpse at the cast in a Kansas City restaurant. Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) are all confirmed to return for the new season of the Emmy-award winning comedy. But will we see all of our favorites? So far, there has not been any official confirmation on any of the following: Before you panic, just know this doesn't meant that they're definitely not returning in their roles. There is potential that the new season centers around the new AFC Richmond women's team that Keeley pitched to Rebecca at the end of Season 3. If that's the case -- and Ted is being approached to help with or coach the women's squad -- it makes sense we'd see less of the men's players. There's still a chance that some, or all, of the previous supporting cast returns. We'll just have to wait and see. Is Phil Dunster coming back as Jamie Tartt? Regarding that, from Deadline: Not picked up at the time was Phil Dunster (Jamie), in part due to a conflict with another series. He has since signed on for a series regular role on a new HBO comedy from Ted Lasso executive producer Bill Lawrence and Warner Bros TV but could potentially reprise his role in some limited capacity, with fellow Brit Nick Mohammed (Nate) teasing a possible Ted Lasso return in January.

Bad Monkey Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
Alright, Bad Monkey fans, if you tore through Season 1 on Apple TV+ and got hooked on its wild Florida chaos, you're probably dying to know what's next. Vince Vaughn's Andrew Yancy, with his sharp wit and knack for trouble, turned this Carl Hiaasen adaptation into a must-watch mix of crime, laughs, and sunny vibes. So, what's the deal with Bad Monkey Season 2? From release date guesses to who's coming back and what kind of mess Yancy's getting into next, here's everything we know so far. When Can We Expect Bad Monkey Season 2 to Drop? No official release date yet, but let's piece together what we know. Season 1 hit Apple TV+ on August 14, 2024, and wrapped on October 9, 2024, after filming from early 2022 to mid-2023. For Season 2, the writers are almost done with scripts, and cameras are set to roll in fall 2025, mostly in Los Angeles with some Florida shots for that authentic vibe. Based on typical production timelines, we're looking at a late 2025 to early 2026 premiere—maybe late summer or fall 2026 if post-production takes its time. Keep your eyes peeled for updates as filming kicks off. For now, it's a waiting game, but it'll be worth it! Who's Back for the Cast? Vince Vaughn is locked in as Andrew Yancy, the ex-cop turned health inspector who can't resist a juicy mystery. Fans on Reddit are calling his performance a 'total home run,' and we're pumped to see more of his sarcastic charm. But what about the rest of the crew? Season 1 didn't pull punches—characters like Eve (Meredith Hagner), Nick (Rob Delaney), and the Dragon Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) got grim endings, so they're likely out. That said, showrunner Bill Lawrence teased keeping some 'key players' around. Natalie Martinez's Rosa, Yancy's on-again-off-again love interest, could be back despite their Season 1 split. John Ortiz as Ro, who dropped that cryptic 'What's in the car, man?' line in the finale, seems primed for a bigger role. Others like L. Scott Caldwell, Michelle Monaghan, or Alex Moffat might pop up for cameos, but don't hold your breath. New characters are definitely joining the party, and with Hiaasen's knack for colorful weirdos, expect some unforgettable additions. No word yet on casting announcements, but we'll keep you posted! What Will the Plot of Season 2 Be About? Season 1 adapted Carl Hiaasen's 2013 novel Bad Monkey , following Yancy as he investigated a severed arm and uncovered a web of corruption, greed, and environmental destruction across Florida and the Bahamas. With the novel's story wrapped up, many expected Season 2 to adapt Hiaasen's 2016 sequel, Razor Girl , which features Yancy tackling a new case involving a con artist named Merry Mansfield and a kidnapped talent agent. However, Bill Lawrence has confirmed that Season 2 will not adapt Razor Girl . Instead, it'll dive into an original storyline inspired by Hiaasen's style, with the author himself consulting to keep the vibe authentic. Expect more dark comedy, crime, and social commentary, with Yancy stumbling into another absurd mystery. The Season 1 finale hinted at a new case when Ro asked Yancy, 'What's in the car, man?'—a perfect setup for fresh chaos. Lawrence has also compared the show's format to The White Lotus , suggesting each season could introduce new characters and mysteries while keeping Yancy as the anchor. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and more are all smiles in 'Ted Lasso' season 4 first look
Biscuits with the boss look a tad different in the first look at season 4 of Ted Lasso. Apple TV+ released the first look at Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Swift, Hannah Waddingham, and Juno Temple in the upcoming fourth season of the Emmy-winning series as production officially begins Monday in Kansas City, with additional filming set to take place in London. Swift (as Leslie Higgins), Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Temple (Keeley Jones), and Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) are gathered around a booth in a sun-drenched diner in the photo. Brett Goldstein, also a writer and executive producer on the dramedy, and Brendan Hunt, series co-creator, are also set to reprise their roles as Roy Kent and Coach Beard, respectively. The new season will follow Ted as he returns to Richmond to tackle his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's football team. "Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would," per the the crew are series newcomers Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely, the latter of whom will be stepping in as Ted's son, Henry. Though initially conceived as a three-season series by Sudeikis and his co-creators, the show received a surprise season 4 renewal back in March. The Apple TV+ juggernaut debuted 2020 and introduced Sudeikis' fish-out-of-water American football coach who is hired to manage a British soccer team. Goldstein memorably compared the return to the resurrection of a dead cat while speaking to NPR in April. "I have a friend that I went to university with, and I think about this a lot," Goldstein recalled. "He had a cat that died. He loved his cat. And the cat was run over, and they buried the cat. He was a child. They buried the cat in the garden, and he lay in bed so sad, so upset and crying, and he prayed and he wished, 'I wish the cat would come back.'" "And then the cat did come back, and it turned out the cat they buried wasn't their cat," he continued. "I think about that all the time. I'm like, no wonder this guy is f---ed in the head, because he thinks death isn't real, so of course he's insane. He's such a weird guy 'cause he thinks he can bring things back from the dead." Resurrecting the show felt like that cat's resurrection, he said. "I guess I'm saying I feel like that kid. Like, we buried it. We all cried, we had a funeral. Are you saying we can bring anything back?' It's too much power.' Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
