Many of actor Jason Momoa's fans were crushed when he and his wife, Lisa Bonet, announced their divorce earlier this year. The couple's love for one another was admirable.

Despite Momoa and Bonet's divorce, fans recalled the "Aquaman" actor's adoring relationship with actress Emilia Clarke. Momoa and Clarke played Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen, respectively, in the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones."

In 2019, Momoa surprised Clarke on the set of "The Graham Norton Show" and revealed to TV host Graham Norton that he meets the 35-year-old English actress every time he visits London.

Beaming widely, Clarke agreed with Momoa's statement. The "Dune" actor also revealed to Norton that meeting her in England has been some kind of a routine since they began shooting "Game of Thrones" in 2011.

Aside from Clarke and Momoa, the famous series stars Sophie Turner, Kit Harington, Maisie Williams, Gwendoline Christie, Peter Dinklage, and Lena Headey. The acclaimed series ran for eight seasons.

Clarke previously described the day she met Momoa for the first time. She explained that when she arrived exhausted at the hotel in Belfast, she heard him call her "wifey."

Clarke said the 42-year-old actor picked her up and tackled her like a rugby player. Clarke started to ask him who he was only after Momoa put her down.

EMILIA CLARKE SPEAKS ONLY GOOD OF JASON

Clarke had nothing but profound admiration for Momoa. She was just 23 when the "Game of Thrones" series started shooting, and she felt nervous about recording revealing scenes.

She said Momoa was beside her when she suffered from aneurysms while shooting the popular series.

She said Momoa helped her get through the intimate scenes by checking in on her between takes. In between takes, Momoa would quickly call someone to get Clarke a bathrobe so she could be covered up.

Clarke praised Momoa for being so kind and considerate to her. She noted that the "Sweet Girl" actor helped her through the difficult times on set.

Momoa was not only kind to Clarke on set, but he was also sympathetic to her health issues. Clarke previously experienced two aneurysms while filming "Game of Thrones."

Clarke revealed her health struggles in a compelling piece published in The New Yorker in 2019. She shared that Momoa was beside her when she suffered from her illness while shooting the popular series.

Meanwhile, Momoa confirmed that he was there for a long time during Clarke's ordeal with her condition. At that time, he said he felt sad that she had to go through rough moments. However, the situation strengthened their friendship. Momoa said:

"I've kind of been a part of that whole situation for a very long time, so we've had so many scares and trying to find the right way to come out and help. I'm very sad, because we almost lost her the first time."
