Jason Momoa Steps Out with Adria Arjona at ‘The Wrecking Crew’ NYC Premiere

Bright colors, bold fashion, and a flood of online reactions converged Wednesday night as the familiar Hollywood figure and his companion arrived at a high-profile Manhattan movie screening.

Jason Momoa and Adria Arjona turned heads as they attended the New York screening of "The Wrecking Crew" at Regal Times Square on January 15, 2026, sparking a wave of online commentary that quickly extended beyond the theater doors.

A Solo Arrival That Set the Tone

Before Arjona joined him, Momoa posed solo on the pink carpet in a deep plum velvet suit, muted rose-toned shirt, and brown leather boots, accessorized with a chunky statement necklace, dark-tinted sunglasses, and long, wavy hair.

His relaxed stance and slight smile conveyed effortless confidence. At the same time, the action-themed poster behind him, with palm trees and a helicopter, underscored the film’s high-energy setting and drew immediate attention to his unconventional styling.

When She Stepped Into Frame

When Arjona joined him, she stood close at Momoa's side as he wrapped an arm comfortably around her waist. She wore a sheer black dress with a fitted silhouette, featuring a semi-transparent bodice layered over a structured black undergarment that balanced softness with clean, modern lines.

Her hair fell in loose, natural curls framing her face, and her minimal, polished makeup kept the focus on her features. Leaning slightly toward Momoa with a calm confidence and toothy smile, Arjona completed a red-carpet pairing that felt both coordinated and distinct, his look bold and dramatic, hers elegant and understated.

The Internet Weighs In

As images from the event circulated, reactions poured in across Instagram and Facebook, blending admiration, confusion, humor, and comparison into one rapid-fire stream of commentary.

Several commenters focused on Arjona’s appearance. One Instagrammer wrote, "She looks like Salma Hayek 🫨." Another admitted, "I thought that was his daughter at first glance, lowkey looks really similar." A third added, "She is morphing into Lisa Bonet," referring to Momoa's ex.

Others zeroed in on Momoa’s accessories. One commenter asked, "What's on his neck?" Another joked, "My blind ahh thought he had garlic on his neck." A separate comment read, "Looks like a hook 🪝 around his neck. The match doesn't fit."

On Facebook, one viewer echoed the confusion, writing, "Why is he wearing a purse hook on his necklace?" Amid the speculation, one fan summed up the couple's aesthetic appeal, "Both of their gorgeous hair,omg."

A Relationship Long Seen in Glimpses

The red-carpet moment echoed earlier snapshots of the couple’s relationship that had been shared online.

In a May 20, 2024, Instagram carousel, Momoa's first post featuring Arjona, the couple appeared relaxed and close during a candid group dinner at a Japanese-style restaurant, seated side by side at a long table under warm lighting as a chef prepared food in the background.

The actor captioned the post, "Japan, you are a dream come true, you blew my mind. [sic] we're so thankful for everyone who opened their homes, making memories with new friends and old friends, sharing another amazing adventure with mi amor. ON THE ROAM motorcycles and mayhem. All my aloha j."

Public Affection, Documented Over Time

Arjona later offered a fuller look at their bond in an August 1, 2025, Instagram carousel celebrating Momoa's birthday. The post featured images that highlighted the couple's warmth and ease, including an intimate outdoor shot of them seated nose-to-nose, with Arjona in a light sleeveless top and Momoa in tinted shades and an open patterned shirt revealing his tattoos.

Another photo showed the pair at a rocky beach near the shoreline, where a shirtless Momoa, wearing dark shorts and flip-flops, lifted Arjona playfully as she laughed with her mouth open mid-laughter, holding a drink bottle. Waves rolled in behind them, freezing a moment defined by motion, joy, and spontaneity.

In a separate outdoor image with large rocks in the background, the couple stood side by side, smiling broadly behind sunglasses. Arjona wore a dark jacket with her hair loose and natural, while Momoa paired a textured purple cardigan with a chain necklace, his arm resting comfortably around her shoulders, conveying warmth and ease.

A black-and-white photo captured a quieter, more intimate indoor moment, showing Momoa standing behind Arjona, his arms wrapped around her shoulders and upper chest. She smiled softly at the camera as he looked down, his expression calm and protective, the contrast highlighting their closeness and the candid nature of the shot.

The carousel also included a polished red-carpet-style image of the pair standing side by side against a bold red backdrop. Arjona wore a deep rust-colored gown with a plunging neckline and ruffled detailing, her hair styled in soft waves, while Momoa appeared in a dramatic, textured outer garment layered over a dark shirt and accessorized with a striking statement necklace and sunglasses. Both appeared composed and serious, presenting a strong, fashion-forward presence.

Another image captured the couple from behind as they ran hand in hand through a lush green park, the trees sprawling and low-branching. Momoa, shirtless and wearing light-colored pants and sandals, lifted one arm mid-celebration, while Arjona wore a loose light top and white pants with dark shoes.

The image conveyed a sense of carefree movement and a shared freedom in nature.

The Opening Image That Sets the Tone

The carousel opens with a candid moment beside a vintage green Land Rover, with Momoa smiling in a rugged, earth-toned look, while Arjona leans into him in a cropped tank top and mustard-yellow pants, hinting at shared adventure.

She captioned the post, "Happy birthday mi amor. There's nothing I love more than doing life by your side. So here's to one more year of being wild and free and to forever growing young. Love you so much, babii @prideofgypsies. AND…: happy @chief.of.war day too. Excited for the world to watch what you've poured your heart and soul into for the past years."

Context From the Past

Momoa’s personal life has drawn sustained attention since his January 2022 split from Lisa Bonet, which was announced in a non-deleted joint Instagram statement, according to reports. "We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding (tilde) and our family is of no exception," the statement reportedly read.

"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 statement reported continued.

Reporting by People magazine later noted that the breakup followed years of shifting priorities, demanding schedules, and extended periods apart, despite the former couple’s shared commitment to their children.

"They have grown apart because of different focuses. A few years ago, Jason was struggling to find work. Now his career is booming. And he wants to keep working as much as he can," a source told People.

The source said the former "Cosby Show" actress, 54, was not interested in traveling with Momoa to every filming location and preferred to remain based in Los Angeles, where she enjoyed her life. "For some people, it might strengthen their marriage. For Lisa and Jason's marriage, being apart has been a disaster," the source added.

The source insisted that Momoa and Bonet handled the separation with maturity and remained committed to maintaining a peaceful relationship for the sake of their two children, son Nakoa-Wolf and daughter Lola Momoa. They added that the split was not expected to turn contentious and was guided by their shared spirituality and belief in a higher power.

From bold red-carpet statements and viral commentary to quieter, more intimate moments shared online, Momoa and Arjona's appearance reflected a relationship marked by ease, affection, and shared momentum.

As Momoa continues a busy chapter in his career and Arjona remains by his side, their latest outing showed that, whether framed by flashing cameras or candid memories, the two appear firmly aligned and unbothered by the noise surrounding them.
