A Different World star Lisa Bonet and Aquaman’s Jason Momoa are heading for divorce after five years of marriage.

On Jan. 13, a joint statement about the shocking split was issued on Momoa’s Instagram account and it appeared as though the couple’s decision to part ways was amicable.

I had f—ing fireworks going off inside, man,” he said at the time. “I convinced her to take me home, because I was living in a hotel.”

After their chance encounter, Momoa shared that he and Bonet sat down for a meal at Cafe 101, where they instantly hit it off.
