Jason Momoa Adria Arjona relationship fans got another public glimpse of the couple this week when Momoa supported Arjona at the Los Angeles premiere of her action film Onslaught.
The August 26 appearance was not their first red carpet together, but it added another chapter to a romance that has moved from a film set to increasingly public support at major career moments. Arjona made a dramatic entrance tied to the movie’s action-heavy theme, while Momoa was there as both partner and enthusiastic supporter.
People reported that Momoa praised Arjona after her premiere entrance and celebrated the film’s upcoming IMAX release. The moment was playful, but it also reflected a pattern the couple have established over the last two years: they appear willing to be seen together without turning every appearance into a detailed public account of their private life.
From Sweet Girl co-stars to a public relationship
Momoa and Arjona first worked together on the 2021 Netflix thriller Sweet Girl, where they played a married couple. At the time, their connection was professional, and there was no public indication that they were romantically involved.
Momoa’s personal life was already familiar to fans because of his long relationship with Lisa Bonet. Wowplus previously looked back at Lisa Bonet’s romantic history, including the years she shared with Momoa. Their separation became public in 2022, and the divorce process was completed later.
By May 2024, Momoa was openly signaling that he was no longer single. Soon afterward, he shared photos from a trip to Japan that included Arjona and referred to her affectionately. That social-media reveal effectively made the relationship public after a period when the pair had kept it largely out of view.
The timing mattered because both actors were moving through busy stretches professionally. Momoa continued working across large franchise films and action projects, while Arjona’s profile rose through films and television roles that placed her more firmly in leading-lady territory.
Rather than immediately turning the relationship into a constant press topic, the pair seemed to let public appearances build gradually. That slower pace helped make each shared event feel more like a natural extension of their lives than a formal publicity campaign.
Their red carpet appearances became more frequent
One of the first major couple moments came in early 2025, when they attended the SNL50 Homecoming Concert together in New York. The appearance was notable because they posed publicly as a couple after months of social-media confirmation and occasional sightings.
Momoa has long had a highly visible public image that combines blockbuster roles, motorcycles, environmental causes and an unconventional fashion sense. Wowplus has covered that public persona before, including the time he shaved his hair to promote ocean protection. With Arjona, however, his public comments have generally focused on admiration rather than oversharing.
The couple then appeared together at Cannes in 2025, another step that placed their relationship on a major international stage. By then, they were no longer simply a pair who had gone Instagram official. They were becoming a regular presence at selected industry events connected to one another’s work.
That pattern continued into 2026. Momoa openly praised Arjona at public appearances and described her in deeply affectionate terms, while Arjona also shared occasional glimpses of their life together. The couple’s willingness to support each other in public has become one of the clearest through-lines of the relationship.
The distinction is important. Many celebrity couples either retreat almost entirely from public view or make the relationship part of their brand. Momoa and Arjona appear to sit somewhere in the middle: visible enough that there is little mystery about whether they are together, but private enough that fans are not given a running commentary on every stage of the romance.
The Onslaught premiere put Arjona’s career at the center
The latest premiere was especially notable because the event was centered on Arjona’s film, not Momoa’s. Onslaught casts her in a demanding action role, and the promotional moment gave her the spotlight while Momoa took on the supportive-partner role.
That balance can matter in a high-profile relationship. Momoa is one of the more recognizable action stars working today, and his fame could easily dominate a joint appearance. Instead, the emphasis at the premiere remained on Arjona’s project and the theatrical launch ahead.
Momoa’s own path to blockbuster fame was not immediate. Wowplus has previously explored an early role that complicated Jason Momoa’s career, long before franchises such as Aquaman and Dune made him a global star. That history gives extra context to why supporting a partner’s career milestone can resonate with fans who have followed his own long climb.
Arjona, meanwhile, has built a varied resume that includes science fiction, romantic comedy, thrillers and action work. Her recent run suggests she is being positioned less as a supporting presence beside a famous partner and more as a headline performer in her own right.
The Onslaught premiere therefore works as both a relationship update and a career marker. It showed Momoa and Arjona together, but it also showed the relationship functioning around Arjona’s professional moment rather than swallowing it.
Why the relationship still attracts attention
Part of the interest comes from the fact that their story has an easy-to-understand beginning: two actors met while working together, reconnected later and eventually made the relationship public. It is a familiar Hollywood pattern, but the years between the film set and the romance prevent it from reading like an instant co-star fling.
There is also the contrast between Momoa’s larger-than-life public presence and the comparatively restrained way the couple discuss each other. He is expressive when he praises Arjona, but they have not turned the relationship into a constant series of announcements.
For now, the clearest timeline is built from visible milestones: working together on Sweet Girl, going public in 2024, making major red carpet appearances from 2025 onward, and repeatedly showing up for one another’s projects in 2026.
The latest Onslaught appearance does not signal a new engagement, wedding plan or other major private milestone, and there is no reason to invent one. What it does show is continuity. More than two years after the romance became public, Jason Momoa and Adria Arjona still appear comfortable mixing affection with professional support—and letting the public see only as much of that story as they choose.
