Jason Momoa's teen children support him in rare outing at 'Chief of War' premiere: Photos
Jason Momoa celebrated his latest project with some of his favorite people. On July 18, the 45-year-old actor attended the premiere of his upcoming historical drama miniseries, "Chief of War," with his son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, 16; daughter Lola Iolani Momoa, 17; and girlfriend, "Blink Twice" actor Adria Arjona. Momoa and his children, whom he shares with ex-wife and "The Cosby Show" star Lisa Bonet, wore matching capes at the event. The black, yellow and red outerwear was styled similarly to the wardrobe he wore in "Chief of War" as an 18th-century Hawaiian warrior-chief who defected from King Kamehameha's forces as they sought to conquer the Hawaiian islands. The "Aquaman" star, who was born in Honolulu and raised in Iowa, plays the lead role of warrior Ka'iana. He also served as a director, writer and executive producer for the nine-episode series, which premieres its first two episodes Aug. 1 on Apple TV+. The red carpet premiere took place at Ko Olina Beach Park in Honolulu's neighboring Kapolei. Jason Momoa, Adria Arjona step out together at 'Chief of War' premiere Momoa also walked the carpet with 33-year-old "Hit Man" star Arjona, with whom he soft-launched a relationship in May 2024. Arjona is the daughter of Ricardo Arjona, one of the best-selling Latin American artists of all time whose hits include "Fuiste Tú" and "Historia De Taxi." The two have been each other's red carpet companions as of late, having also attended the "Highest 2 Lowest" premiere together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. What is Jason Momoa's 'Chief of War' about? According to Apple TV+, "Told from an indigenous perspective, 'Chief of War' is a passion project for creators Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, who share native Hawaiian heritage." The series features "a predominantly Polynesian cast" and depicts "the unification and colonization of Hawai'i at the turn of the 18th century," 100 years before a group of mostly American businessmen overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy, paving the way for it to be annexed by the United States. Jason Momoa's son, Nakoa-Wolf, 'doesn't fall far from the tree' Ahead of the "Chief of War" premiere, Momoa performed at the 2025 Harley-Davidson Homecoming festival in Milwaukee as a part of his band, ÖOF TATATÁ. For the band's climactic performance of Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls," his 16-year-old son made a cameo. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Momoa said. Nakoa-Wolf is also joining his dad in the upcoming "Dune: Part Three." "He's in for a rude awakening is what he's in for," Momoa told Extra TV. 'He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own, and good for him." "I couldn't do what he's doing at his age. There's no way I could sit in a room with (director) Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on 'Baywatch' at 19. He's 16 and holding" his own with Villeneuve, Momoa added.

Jason Momoa rocks out with son during rare festival performance
The band "ÖOF TATATÁ" may not have been the most recognizable name in the 18-act lineup at the 2025 Harley-Davidson Homecoming festival in Milwaukee this year, but you probably know the group's bassist: movie star Jason Momoa. That's right, the "Aquaman" actor showed off a different set of performance chops over the weekend, taking the stage during the festival on July 12 to treat fans to a hard-rocking set. 'Aquaman' star Jason Momoa cracks up Kelly Clarkson with his NSFW hip thrusts: Watch Momoa also made the performance a family affair, bringing son Nakoa-Wolf, 16, who he shares with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, on stage with him for the band's big finale, a rollicking cover of Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls." "Milwaukee, what's up?" Momoa's son, who is set to appear alongside his father in "Dune 3," screamed, electric guitar in hand, from the Harley Homecoming stage. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Momoa quipped. The Metallica cover came at the end of a six-song set that included covers of the Cranberries' "Zombie," Rage Against The Machine's "Bulls on Parade" and Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Can't Stop." Jason Momoa seemingly debuts relationship with 'Hit Man' star Adria Arjona: 'Mi amor' An increasingly sweaty Momoa appeared to be having a blast, showing off some serious bass skills, but letting the band's frontman, Mike Hayes, do most of the showboating. "We've never done anything like this before, look at this," Momoa said of the band's rare festival gig. But the invite was appropriate: Momoa is a massive Harley-Davidson fan. While in Milwaukee, Momoa was seen riding his bike around the motorcycle brand's museum. "I love you so much, Milwaukee, what an amazing city," Momoa said amid his set. "I've been working with Harley-Davidson for many, many, many years. I love this company with all my heart. Besides my children and my lady, my favorite thing in the world is being on a motorcycle and traveling around the world. I bleed this company, I bleed Harley, I love them so much."
