Heads held high: The couple explained in their statement that they weren’t announcing their separation ‘ because we think it’s newsworthy, but so that as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty’

Although the separation announcement seemingly came out of nowhere, weeks earlier Bonet had said she was learning to be ‘authentically me’ when she chatted with Marisa Tomei for Interview in December.

After the Spider-Man: No Way Home star asked Bonet ‘what’s calling’ her, she replied, ‘Definitely learning how to be authentically me, learning to be new, and following this invitation from the universe to step into this river of uncertainty.

‘We’ve eliminated all this extra noise, and now it’s time to grow our roots deeper into our own values.’

The couple’s post also included several meditative photos, though they didn’t spell out their connection to the separation announcement.

One image featured a lovely peach-colored sunset in which a crescent moon could already be seen glowing in the sky.

Another photo showed poles erected outside that appeared to be decorated with rectangular strips of white fabric covered in small black text.

Two more photos appeared to show two people holding small birds in their palms.

The figures were presumably the couple’s children: daughter Lola, 14, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 13.

Bonet also shares her adult daughter Zoë Kravitz, 33, with her ex-husband Lenny Kravitz.

Lately, Momoa has been hard at work filming the sequel to his blockbuster superhero film Aquaman.

He announced in December that the DC film had finished shooting in Hawaii, following a trip to the UK for additional scenes.

‘Aw man, that’s a wrap. That’s a wrap, Aquaman 2,’ he announced in a video he shot of himself at a beach in Hawaii. ‘I have so much to share with you, I wish… I could tell you so much. What an epic day. I love you.’

Momoa also appeared last year in the critically acclaimed epic science fiction film Dune, which featured Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac and Josh Brolin.

As his career has continued to ramp up following his breakout role on HBO’s iconic series Game Of Thrones, Bonet has taken on fewer roles.

Her last major parts were in 2016, with two episodes on Lena Dunham’s HBO comedy Girls and an arc on Showtime’s Ray Donovan from the same year.
