Jason Momoa Shuts Down Kate Beckinsale Dating Rumors: 'Just Being A Gentleman'

Jason Momoa is setting the record straight about his relationship with actress Kate Beckinsale. The pair raised eyebrows last weekend after they were seen getting cozy at an Oscars after-party.

However, the "Aquaman" star maintains nothing romantic is going on between them.

As The Blast reported, Momoa sparked rumors that he was moving on from estranged wife Lisa Bonet when he and Beckinsale seemed super close amid the Oscars festivities.

Per reports, Momoa and Beckinsale were standing face to face outside one of the after-parties. In the photo shared of their hangout, the “Underworld” actress was all smiles as she and Momoa conversed intimately.

However, what caught fans’ attention was Momoa’s jacket which was placed around Beckinsale to keep her warm. The hunky Hollywood star was snapped with his hand affectionately placed on Beckinsale’s shoulder as he adjusted the jacket.

Sources present at the after-party corroborated that Momoa and Beckinsale had a moment at the after-party. “They [Momoa and Beckinsale] were standing at a bar chatting. They both had smiles on their faces and were very much into their conversation,” one source confirmed.

Another insider added, “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.”

The news of romance brewing between Momoa and Beckinsale received mixed reactions given that it comes barely three months after he announced his separation from Bonet, his wife of almost five years.

Some believed Momoa was moving on too fast. However, some fans were not opposed to the idea of him and Beckinsale, calling them a prospective power couple.

More than a week after Momoa and Beckinsale’s seemingly romantic photo has made rounds on the internet, the Hawaii native is clearing the air.

During an appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of “Ambulance,” Momoa stopped to chat with Extra and addressed the rumors.

The handsome actor said, “It was cray. Have a conversation with a woman about her country, I was in England doing 'Aquaman 2.' Everyone is like, 'Are you dating?' No, no, it was chivalry, the woman was cold."

Reiterating that nothing was going on between him and Beckinsale, Momoa stated, “Absolutely not, not together. She is very nice, I was being very nice, just being a gentleman,” before joking, “Now, I am not giving my coat to anyone.”

The English actress is yet to address the rumors from her end, but Momoa’s statement has sure given a definite answer.

Amid his split from Bonet, Momoa is focused on his thriving career and has several projects lined up. Perhaps the juiciest of his upcoming projects is a major role in the next “Fast & Furious 10” sequel.

Following the controversial departure of Dwayne Johnson from the franchise, fans were thrilled after the creators announced that Momoa would feature as a villain.

In early March, the 42-year-old who is known for playing the role of the protagonist/hero in movies expressed excitement about taking on something new.

“I’m gonna go do Fast 10. Yeah, I’m gonna go do this small, independent over in London,” he told the news outlet. “It’s fun; I get to play the bad guy, which I haven’t got to do for a while. Now I’m gonna be the bad boy — the very flamboyant bad boy. You know, a little panache.”

Momoa expressed his joy about joining the franchise during his recent appearance telling Extra, “We are doing 'Fast 10', it's finally happened. It's taken 10 movies for Vin to invite me, so thanks Vin for finally coming to your senses. I think I just begged to be in it.  I just want to play the bad guy again.”

Details of Momoa’s role in the tenth sequel remain largely unknown, but it’s been confirmed he would star alongside the main cast including Vin Diesel, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang, Nathalie Emmanuel amongst others.

Rapper Cardi B is also set to reprise her role as Leysa in the new sequel with Diesel revealing that her character would be expanded to the climax in “Fast & Furious 10.”
