Jason Momoa and Amber Heard's relationship is not what you'd expect. The two became quite close while filming "Aquaman" in 2017 — as friends, of course.
During an interview with "Good Morning America" in 2018, Heard explained that Momoa had a particular way of getting her attention when she needed it.
Explaining that he is "allergic to being ignored", he said: "He took this method of ripping the pages out of my book, so I would pay attention to him. I would go crazy because I would have 30 pages left and he would be gone."
If that wasn't enough, many people also noticed that Momoa and Heard shared many photos of them together on social media.
There are a few posts of Momoa and Heard dressed in matching accessories and looking playful at sporting events.
While it was obvious to some people that they were friends, others couldn't help but wonder if they were also a romantic couple.
Some comments on social media have even included "VERY CUTE COUPLE AS A RESULT", along with "Soul Twins".
Of course, their closeness made many people wonder what was
really going on between them.
Were Amber Heard and Jason Momoa ever
more than just friends?
While filming "Aquaman" in 2017, there was speculation that Jason Momoa and Amber Heard were more than just co-stars and good friends.
However, those claims have never been confirmed, as Momoa was
still very close to Lisa Bonet, while Heard was reportedly dating Elon Musk
at the time, even though they broke up in early 2018, as People detailed.
Additionally,
Momoa and Bonet quietly married in October 2017, according to NBC News,
around the same time he was spending a lot of time with Heard.
That said, it seems that Momoa's friendship with Heard was and still is nothing more than supportive.
Although he has never officially said anything about his ongoing drama with Johnny Depp, Momoa congratulated his co-star when he welcomed his daughter Oonagh in July 2021.
Momoa wrote "congratulations" along with a red heart emoji on Heard's Instagram post. And while it sounds like Momoa wants to stay out of legal trouble with him, Hollywood Life reported that Momoa's text messages with Heard are expected to be available during Depp's libel trial against Heard. – though what those texts will reveal is unknown.
That said, it seems that any rumor or report that the two
"Aquaman" co-stars were romantic is nothing more than a myth.
