He also played the role of Declan Harp( the Fur-trading outlaw) in Frontier from 2016 to 2018.

Jason Momoa got married to Lisa Bonet. Lisa had a daughter, Zoe Kravitz, from her previous marriage. Jason saw Lisa for the first time when she appeared on "The Cosby Show" and immediately fell in love with her. The actor later met Lisa in a Jazz club in 2005, and they eventually became a couple. Two years later, their first child, Lola Lolani, was born. They also gave birth to a boy (Nakoa-wolf). Lisa and Jason secretly got married in 2017. Their marriage lasted for five years before the shocking announcement of their breakup.
