In a 2020 interview with Men’s Health, the Aquaman star opened up more about being a girl dad, saying that he cried when Lola turned 13 and admitting the thought of her dating eventually scares him.

“I’m not going to do well with it,” he said. “I’ll just hate it if she brings home some dips— bad boy.”

He also spoke about his stepdaughter, Zoë, and his admiration for her, saying, “I hope and pray my daughter is that talented and loving and open and close to her family [as Zoë].”

Lola and little brother Nakoa-Wolf even joined their father at the New York City premiere of Batman in 2022 to support older sister Zoë.

In August 2022, Momoa told PEOPLE that Lola is a big fan of sitcoms, saying, “My daughter’s massively into Friends. It’s a trip to watch what I probably watched when I was a kid, now that my daughter loves this show.”

More recently, Momoa opened up to PEOPLE in March 2024 about how parenthood has changed as his children have grown up.

“I spent a lot of time with them when they were younger, which is super important,” he said. “Then they traveled with me quite a bit. But now, going into high school, they’ve got their friends and stuff.”

Momoa added, “They still like me, which is good. I’m probably losing cool factor daily.”

One month later, Momoa invited Lola onstage to perform a cover of Amy Winehouse‘s hit song “Valerie” during a concert in Los Angeles. They duetted the song again in June 2025.

Momoa and Bonet welcomed their second child, a son, on Dec. 15, 2008. The couple named their baby boy Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, a.k.a. Wolfie.

As he did for his daughter, Momoa chose a name representative of his Hawaiian culture. Nakoa means “warrior” while his first middle name, Manakauapo, refers to the dark and rainy weather conditions when he was born. His second middle name, Namakaeha, is Momoa’s middle name as well.

In an interview with InStyle, Momoa opened up about how growing up without a father at home shaped his own parenting.

“I didn’t know what it takes to be a dad,” he said. “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.”

In 2021, Momoa starred in the film Dune alongside actors Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac and Josh Brolin. He used his time on screen to send a sweet message to his son.

Speaking to IndieWire, he spoke about how he had to do martial arts training for his action scenes, including Kali. “I never really learned that,” he said. “My son does that.”

The actor continued, “There’s definitely these intimate moments where I’m signaling to my son. That’s a Kali move, where you put your hand on your heart and put it on your head. That’s to Timothée in the movie, but that’s to my son in real life.”
