The “Aquaman” star, who plays the lead character in the upcoming series, made the event a family affair — and fans couldn’t help but notice how much his grown-up daughter resembled her mother and his girlfriend.
Jason Momoa had all the support he needed when he attended the world premiere of his new show, “Chief of War,” on Friday, July 18. The actor was joined by his son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, and daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa.
The trio couldn’t have looked more united as they walked the red carpet together in coordinating ensembles. Jason wore a black shirt and pants, topped with a striking cloak made of textured black fabric adorned with bold red-and-yellow diamond patterns.
He paired the look with sunglasses and a carved bone necklace, finishing it off with tan-colored boots. Beside him, Nakoa-Wolf layered a matching cloak on his left shoulder atop a black tank top and black pants.
He completed the look with plum leather boots and a necklace adorned with large, curved, tooth-like pieces. Finally, Lola wore a cocoa-brown dress featuring a dramatic front lace-up detail that ran from neckline to hem.
Her matching cloak mirrored the group’s shared design, featuring the same feathered texture and tribal color palette. Although hers is noticeably shorter, she also draped it over both shoulders like her dad.
The 17-year-old is the actor’s first child with his ex-wife, Lisa Bonet, whom fans say she bears a striking resemblance to. “Lola looks like her mom.🙌,” one fan observed. “Lola is momma’s clone 👏🏼,” echoed a second. “She looks just like Lisa and his son looks just like him. They are beautiful kids,” added a third.
Others marveled at how tall Nakoa-Wolf, Jason’s second child with Lisa, had become. “His son got tall,” one Facebooker said. “How tall are his kids? Nakoa Wolf is almost as tall as his dad. Beautiful family,” another wrote.“The son as he grows older will outshine his father definitely handsome young man Nakoa Wolf [sic],” a netizen added.
Jason’s girlfriend, Adria Arjona, was also present to support him at the premiere. She wore a flowing rust-orange halter-neck gown with ruffle detailing at the bodice and waist. Her hair was styled in natural waves, and she kept her accessories minimal.
Photos of her at the event also circulated, with netizens commenting on her resemblance to Lola. “Daughter and gf could pass as sisters,” one person observed.“His daughter looks like her mother Lisa and the girlfriend resembles them. His son looks like Jason,” another said. “Daughter looks like her sister!” a fan exclaimed.
Jason regularly brings his children to red carpet events, but the proud father of two also cherishes quiet downtime with them.
Last December, the “Baywatch” star treated his son and daughter to their first Metallica concert, sharing moments from the unforgettable experience.
Jason shared family photos from the festivities that had admirers marveling at how much his kids, Nakoa-Wolf and Lola, have grown. Many fans also noted the striking resemblance between him and his 16-year-old son.
In an Instagram post, Jason gave fans a glimpse into his memorable family outing by sharing photos from his kids’ first Metallica concert. The actor’s heartfelt post showcased the tight-knit bond he shares with the teens.
The movie star expressed his joy in his caption, “I LOVE U @metallica SO HONORED TO BE INTRODUCING THEM AT @allwithinmyhandsfoundation. Amazing foundation, please check it out. My babies’ first Metallica show. Happiest papa in the world. Chhhhhhheeeeehuuuuuuuuu. Aloha j.”
The post featured a series of candid and cheerful snapshots taken on December 13, 2024, at Metallica’s “All Within My Hands Helping Hands” concert at the YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles. In one, Jason posed with Lola and a Metallica band member, radiating pride as a father.
Another photo captured a playful moment with Nakoa-Wolf striking goofy poses while Jason held Lola close, both smiling at the camera. More pictures revealed the family soaking in the concert vibes, laughing, grinning ear to ear, and mingling with the band members. Wide smiles and good vibes radiated through every shot, encapsulating the epic evening.
Jason Momoa’s Instagram post left fans gushing over their incredible night and how lovely the actor looked alongside his son and daughter. One fan enthused, “Beautiful kids!!! Son looks just like you wow 🤩 congrats proud daddy,” while another reminisced, “Wow, your son looks like u when u were on Baywatch.”
“Wolf is going to look just like his old man,” one admirer noted, echoing another who exclaimed, “Wolf is your twin!!! You guys look amazing.” The sentiment continued with, “Wolf is a cutie just like his dad.”
Many also shared their admiration for Lola. “Omg. Daughter is Dad’s twin, son is mom’s. So cute ❤️ [sic],” one fan remarked, while another observed, “Kids grow up so fast!! Lola taking after daddy with her height! Love to you Jason and to your family! ❤️ [sic].”
“Lola is such a beautiful young woman. She looks just like her mom,” one comment read, followed by a playful warning for Nakoa-Wolf, “Wolf, you’re gonna be running from the girls in no time, if you’re not already, spitting image of Dad. BOO, the family looks amazing.”
Fans couldn’t help but marvel at how much the kids had changed, writing “Wow, have they grown! Lola is Daddy’s girl, no doubt! 🤘” and “Your children are so grown up. Your daughter is almost as tall as you. They are as beautiful as you are. Much love,” shared one more admirer.
“Wolf looks different too,” one fan pointed out, while others reflected on time passing, “Omg they’ve gotten so big ❤️ time flies by so fast ❤️” and another concurring, “Time slow down! Your beautiful babies are looking so grown!! Good job papa!”
Finally, Lola’s sleek look didn’t go unnoticed, as a fan wrote, “DIDNT RECONGIZE [sic] LOLA WITH HER HAIR STRAIGHT BEAUTIFUL.”
At the concert, Jason went on stage to introduce the band, his charismatic and fun side shining through. He shared how Metallica’s music helped him through his darkest times, giving him an outlet for anger and frustration and serving as a guiding light in his life.
He also gave a shoutout to his kids. “There’s a saying, ‘You should never meet your heroes; they will ultimately let you down,’ but not in this case, because tonight… my children get to see me living out my dream standing next to my heroes.”
Jason added, “And my kids get to witness how Metallica has inspired all of us not just in the power of music but in the good that they bring to this world with ‘All Within My Hands.'”
Jason adores his kids and has always been intentional about parenting, drawing from his own experiences of growing up without a father at home. This has deeply shaped how he approaches raising Nakoa-Wolf, ensuring that his presence, guidance, and connection remain constant and meaningful.
“I didn’t know what it takes to be a dad. And I don’t want to just tell my son, ‘Because I said so.’ I really want to connect, and I want him to be vulnerable and open,” the actor explained.
The “Sweet Girl” star wears his love for his children close to his heart — literally. He has their first names tattooed over his chest, inscribed in their childhood handwriting, lifted from the sheets of paper where they first scribbled their names, a permanent reminder of their bond.
