What’s the scoop on Joseph and Coni Momoa?

The deets on Joseph and Coni Momoa’s life and marriage are about as elusive as a unicorn. They split up before Jason Momoa became a Hollywood heartthrob. Jason actually grew up in Iowa with his mom, who deserves a medal for raising him solo and sending him to school all by herself.

Jason credits his dad, a painter in Hawaii, for passing down his creative genes. Unfortunately, his parents separated when he was young, so he and his mom moved to Iowa.

Joseph wasn’t around much during Jason’s formative years, but the good news is that they’ve since reconciled. Jason’s all about embracing his Hawaiian heritage these days.
