“And so, we share our family news – that we are parting ways in marriage.
“We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy, but so that as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty.
“The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived.”
He added: “We free each other to be who we are learning to become.”
They officially married in late 2017, but have been a couple for 16 years and have a son and daughter together.
Actress Bonet, 54, rose to fame as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show and also starred in the spin-off, A Different World. She was previously married to Lenny Kravitz.
Momoa became a household name following his role as Khal Drogo in the hit HBO series Game Of Thrones.
He also recently starred alongside Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya in sci-fi blockbuster Dune.
Talking about their relationship in late 2020, Momoa said: “My wife is very sophisticated and smart and [our kids and I are] kind of like animals that need to be trained a little better. I’m constantly a work in progress, and I’ve just been trying to get better as a father and a husband.”
