Personal Life
He is the nephew of surfers Brian Keaulana and Rusty Keaulana.
He met actress Lisa Bonet in 2005. On July 23, 2007, Bonet gave birth to their daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa. On December 15, 2008, Bonet and Momoa had a son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. The birth was first announced by Momoa's mother on the fan forums of his official site. She said that Nakoa means "warrior" and Mana stands for “strength/spirit,” while Kaua ("rain") and Po ("dark") pertain to the circumstances surrounding his birthday (he was born on a rare bad-weather night in Los Angeles). He shares his other middle name, Namakaeha, with his father.
On November 15, 2008, Momoa was slashed in the face with a broken beer glass at the Birds Cafe, a Hollywood, California, club. He received around 140 stitches during reconstructive surgery, and his scars are apparent in his later work. A 21-year-old Dominic Bando living in Venice Beach, California was convicted of the crime and is serving a five-year sentence at California State Prison, Corcoran.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
