Lisa Bonet hinted at 'new' chapter ahead of Jason Momoa divorce

Even though it was a major shock to the rest of the world, Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa's divorce was certainly a long-time coming for the pair.

The pair - who tied the knot in 2017 - announced the sad news of their split on Instagram in a joint statement. The couple shares two children, daughter Lola and son, Nakoa-Wolf.

While the post came as a surprise to many, it seems as though Bonet had previously hinted at a "new" chapter in her life back in December.

Bonet sat down for an in-depth chat with Interview Magazine, when she hinted at the fact that she was entering a new stage in her life.

During their talk, Bonet was asked about what is currently "calling" to her in life, to which she responded: "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."

On Wednesday night, Momoa posted a message on Instagram on behalf of him and Bonet, as she does not have a social media presence.

"We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times," the Aquaman star wrote. "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."

"Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life & our Children," he added.

Momoa, 42, and Bonet, 54, married in October 2017 after dating for more than a decade. It was the first marriage for Momoa and the second for Bonet who had been married to rockstar Lenny Kravitz from 1987 to 1993.

Their statement on Wednesday stressed they were separating to set a good example for their kids.

"The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived," the statement continued. "We free each other ~ to be who we are learning to become… our devotion unwavering to this sacred life and our Children."

The joint statement was signed "J & L" with the valediction: "Teaching our Children What’s possible ~ Living the Prayer ... May Love Prevail."
