Jason Momoa And Kate Beckinsale Flirt At Oscars
Per Just Jared, Momoa and Beckinsale got close during the Oscars after-parties held Sunday night at the prestigious Vanity Fair Oscar Party held at the Wallis Annenberg Center. The pair were seen hanging out outside.
A photo of the moment saw the “Underworld" actress and the "Dune" star unusually close as they stared into each other's eyes while having a discussion. Momoa proved to be the ultimate gentleman when he removed his jacket and warmingly placed it around Beckinsale to keep her warm.
The hunky actor's hand lingered on Beckinsale's shoulders as helped adjust the jacket while she couldn't help but wear a smile. According to a source at the bash, "they [Momoa and Beckinsale] were standing at a bar chatting. They both had smiles on their faces and were very much into their conversation."
The insider continued, "He put his arm around her a few times and she lit up with a big smile. They were definitely having fun and seemed very comfortable. They hung out in a group and talked to other people, but always found their way back to one another."
Another source commented that Momoa and Beckinsale "seemed close and had a flirty vibe" at both the Vanity Fair Oscars party and Jay-Z & Beyonce's bash.
Neither party has denied nor confirmed the dating rumors sparked by their affectionate moment at the Oscars, but Momoa did speak about the state of his relationship with Bonet.
Momoa And Lisa Bonet Split After Five Years Of Marriage
As you might know, the world received the shocking news of Momoa and Bonet's split in early January after nearly five years of marriage. As The Blast reported, the 42-year-old broke the news via a statement on social media.
We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding ~and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring. And so~ We share our Family news~That we are parting ways in marriage.
Momoa explained that the press release was not to make their separation newsworthy but to ensure each party lives their lives with "dignity and honesty." He, however, assured that despite their split, they continue to have an eternal love that “carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived," while freeing "each other ~to be who we are learning to become."
Fans were devastated by the news, but a glimmer of hope was noticed at the end of the statement with the pair saying they hoped love prevailed. In a surprising twist, weeks after a source confirmed that the estranged couple is living together.
"Jason moved back in with Lisa about two weeks ago and they are very much back together. They decided to work on things rather than throw in the towel because they have so much invested in each other," the source told Hollywood Life.
Reconciliation tasks were further fueled by Momoa's public show of love to his stepdaughter Zoë Kravitz.
