Jason Momoa is not subtle when he feels something real. He proved that again in New York City when a movie premiere turned into a public love letter. The actor did not dodge questions or keep things vague. He said exactly what he felt and said it loudly.
At the January 15, 2026, premiere of "The Wrecking Crew," the 46-year-old “Aquaman” star called Adria Arjona the love of his life during an interview with People magazine.
This came off relaxed and natural. Momoa looked happy, grounded, and fully present. Arjona stood right there beside him, smiling like someone who knows this kind of love is rare.
The Red Carpet Moment That Felt Real

It looked like two people enjoying the same moment instead of performing for it.
Momoa later said he appreciated that their calendars finally matched up. With both of them constantly working, the timing mattered. The night felt different because of it. This wasn’t another routine stop on a publicity circuit. It was a moment they got to share.
Those around them noticed the connection right away. They stayed close, joked between shots, and seemed relaxed. That level of comfort doesn’t come from practice. It comes from knowing the person beside you.
London Kept the Love Story Rolling
The love did not stay in New York. A few days later, the couple stepped out again at the London premiere of "The Wrecking Crew" at Cineworld Leicester Square. The mood stayed relaxed, warm, and open.
Outside their hotel, Momoa draped his velvet blazer over Arjona’s shoulders. It was a small move, but it said a lot. He was not playing a role. He was just being himself. Cameras caught it anyway.
The duo's looks also turned heads. Arjona wore an olive gold Tom Ford gown. Momoa showed up in a lavender corduroy suit. The colors popped. The confidence matched. Fashion fans noticed, but the affection stole the focus.
The Dinner Felt Like Family

The table included Amazon studio executives, agents, filmmaker Jimmy Chin, and close collaborators. Reports described the night as family-style and relaxed. Momoa stayed close to Arjona the entire time.
He also talked openly about his kids during dinner conversations. That detail stood out. It showed where his heart is right now. Love, family, and balance seem to be the center of his world.
Momoa, 46, and Arjona, 33, first met in 2021 while filming "Sweet Girl." At that time, both were in other relationships. Nothing public came from it back then. Life moved forward.
Momoa finalized his divorce from Lisa Bonet in January 2024. A few months later, in May 2024, he confirmed he was in a new relationship. He did not name names at first. He did not need to.
As months passed, it became clear who that partner was. The couple slowly stepped into the public eye together. They did it on their own terms. That pace seems to have worked for them.
Their first official red carpet appearance came on Valentine’s Day 2025. They attended “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” in New York together. The timing felt intentional. The message was clear.
Momoa has a packed slate ahead. His upcoming projects include "Supergirl," "Dune: Part Three," "Street Fighter," and "Animal Friends." He also stars in the Apple TV+ series "Chief of War."
