In a 2020 interview withMen’s Health,theAquamanstar opened up a girl-dad, saying that he cried when Lola turned 13 and admitting the thought of her dating eventually scares him. “I’m not going to do well with it,” he said. “I’ll just hate it if she brings home some dipsh*t bad boy.”

He also spoke about his stepdaughter, Zoë, and his admiration for her, saying, “I hope and pray my daughter is that talented and loving and open and close to her family [as Zoë].” Lola and little brother Nakoa-Wolf even joined their father at the New York City premiere ofBatmanin 2022to support older sister Zoë.

More recently,Momoa told PEOPLE thatLola is a big fan of sitcoms, saying, “My daughter’s massively intoFriends. It’s a trip to watch what I probably watched when I was a kid, now that my daughter loves this show.”

As he did for his daughter, Momoa chose a name representative of his Hawaiian culture. Nakoa means “warrior” while his first middle name, Manakauapo, refers to the dark and rainy weather conditions when he was born. His second middle name, Namakaeha, is Momoa’s middle name as well.

In an interview withInStyle,Momoa opened up about howgrowing up without a father at home shaped his own parenting. “I didn’t know what it takes to be a dad,” he said. “And I don’t want to just tell my son, ‘Because I said so.’ I really want to connect, and I want him to be vulnerable and open.”

Speaking to IndieWire, he spoke about how he had to do martial arts training for his action scenes, including Kali. “I never really learned that,” he said, adding, “My son does that.”

The actor continued, “There’s definitely theseintimate moments where I’m signaling to my son. That’s a Kali move, where you put your hand on your heart and put it on your head. That’s to Timothée in the movie, but that’s to my son in real life.”
