Jason Momoa recently put on a polite display outside the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Los Angeles. But the Aquaman star has insisted that he is ‘absolutely not’ dating Kate Beckinsale after sparking rumours as the pair seemed close at the party. The actor was seen wrapping his coat around actress Kate’s shoulders as they stood close to each other in a warm chat.
But he shut down all the rumours while talking to showbiz outlet Extra, confirming that the pair were actually having a conversation about England, as Jason visited the UK to film Aquaman 2. He shared, “It was crazy. 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.”
Jason seemed to shut down any dating speculation when asked if he was dating the London-born actress, insisting, “Absolutely not, not together. She is very nice, I was being very nice, just being a gentleman.” Before jesting, “Now, I am not giving my coat to anyone.” In the post-Oscar snaps, Jason looked dapper in a navy suit as his eyes were locked on Kate, who was stunned in an embellished gown.

Momoa was seen leaning into Kate as he wrapped his coat around the star before they shared a lingering gaze. The rumours come as Jason is newly single, after announcing his split from wife Lisa Bonet back in January after a 16-year relationship. The former couple shares two children, Lola, and Nakoa-Wolf, while Lisa is The Batman star Zoe Kravitz’s mother.
Jason and Lisa announced their split in a joint Instagram statement as they revealed that they grew apart romantically. Their statement read, “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring. ‘And so we share our Family news that we are parting ways in marriage.'”
