Some romances are a novel. This one was a short story, read mostly over other people’s shoulders. Jason Momoa and Eiza González were reported as a couple in May 2022 and reported as finished by mid-June of the same year, and neither of them ever said a public word about it. Four years on, both of them are very publicly in love with somebody else, which makes this the rare celebrity breakup where everyone seems to have come out ahead.
A premiere, a spokesperson, and very little else
The story starts with a divorce that was not yet a divorce. On January 12, 2022, Momoa and Lisa Bonet posted a joint statement on Instagram saying they were parting ways after 16 years together, and asked to go on with their lives “with dignity and honesty.” Three months later, Momoa turned up at the Los Angeles premiere of Ambulance, the Michael Bay thriller in which González plays a paramedic. They did not pose together, and neither of them explained a thing.
In May, People reported that the two were seeing each other, and Momoa’s spokesperson put it on the record: “They are dating. He cares about her. He’s in a great place, working on Fast X.” I like that last sentence more than I should. It is the most publicist thing ever said about a romance, a love life and a production schedule in one breath.
What we actually know about the breakup
Around June 14, 2022, People reported the split, again through unnamed sources: the two were “just very different people” at different stages of life, and not as compatible “as they might have initially thought.” That is the entire public record. No statement from Momoa, no statement from González, no cryptic quote card on anyone’s Story.
Then, at the end of July, paparazzi photos showed the two on a Harley-Davidson ride in Malibu, and the Spanish-language press promptly declared them back together. Nobody confirmed that either. The closest González came to a comment was in December 2022, after a Christmas party sparked yet another rumor, this time about James Marsden. She wrote on Twitter, in Spanish, that “for the millionth time,” not every man who talks to her or stands near her is a romance, and asked people to stop the misogyny. She did not name Momoa. She did not have to.
The old version of this page filled that silence with guesses, including the theory that Momoa could not move on from Bonet. I am retiring that theory. It was never sourced, and the way both people’s lives went afterwards makes it look less like insight and more like fan fiction. What a short, quiet, unexplained relationship most often means is the boring truth: two adults tried something, it did not fit, and they did not invite us in.
Where Jason Momoa is now
Momoa and Bonet made it official in 2024: she filed in January, the settlement followed a day later, and a Los Angeles judge’s ruling took effect on July 9, 2024, with joint custody of their two children and no support either way, the AP reported. By then he had already moved on in public. On May 20, 2024, he posted photos from a trip to Japan with actress Adria Arjona, his co-star from Sweet Girl, and called her “mi amor.” Two years later they are still a fixture on each other’s red carpets, most recently with a kiss at the Los Angeles premiere of her film Onslaught on August 26, 2026, as ELLE reported. For a man whose 2022 romance was announced by a spokesperson, that is quite a change of style.

Where Eiza González is now
González, 36, found her person on a tennis court, or at least near one. She and Bulgarian player Grigor Dimitrov were first photographed together in Madrid in April 2025, and on May 17, 2025, she made it Instagram official with a birthday post calling him “the man of my dreams” and her “absolutely favorite human.” She added: “You’ve restored so much in me I didn’t think was possible.”
That is a long way from the woman who never commented on anything. At the Los Angeles premiere of I Love Boosters in May 2026 she joked that Dimitrov teases her about the label: “I’m like, ‘Don’t call me a WAG,’ but I guess I am.” She also said she would be there for him “no matter what.” On the In Your Dreams podcast she told host Owen Thiele that Dimitrov “steams every piece of his clothing, like socks, underwear,” and that he “has full heart attacks” when he sees how she packs. If you want to know whether a relationship is real, skip the red carpet photos and listen for the complaints about luggage.
Her work kept pace. After Ambulance came Netflix’s 3 Body Problem in 2024 and Apple TV+’s Fountain of Youth in 2025, then two films in one May: Guy Ritchie’s In the Grey, with Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal, opened on May 15, 2026, and Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters followed on May 22. On October 9, 2026, she brought I Love Boosters to the BFI London Film Festival, with Dimitrov beside her on the carpet.
My take
This page used to end by hoping Eiza González would find “real love.” She did, and she did not need a breakup explained by strangers to get there. Neither did Momoa. The Ambulance premiere that started all the whispers now reads like what it probably was: a friend showing up for a friend’s big night, in a very good jacket.
