Jason Momoa separated from his ex-wife Lisa Bonet in January 2022, making him one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood. When fans saw Momoa cozying up to Kate Beckinsale at an Oscars afterparty, rumors swirled about a romance between the two — and Momoa has something to say about it.

At Jay-Z’s Oscars bash, photographers snapped shots of Momoa and Beckinsale behaving quite closely to one another, with Momoa lending her his coat. He later explained that he is “absolutely not” dating Beckinsale: “Everyone is like, ‘Are you dating?’ No, no, it was chivalry, the woman was cold.”

Momoa is certainly a gentleman, and while he enjoys a good conversation, he may not be ready for a whirlwind romance. One of Beckinsale’s past relationships may have fed these recent rumors: she dated Pete Davidson for four months after the two linked up at a Golden Globes afterparty.
