Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa are one step closer to being finally “free.”

“The Cosby Show” alum has finally filed for divorce from the “Aquaman” actor, two years after announcing their split in January 2022.

Bonet, 56, has asked the judge for a dissolution of marriage, according to new court docs obtained by TMZ. The exes were together for 12 years and married for nearly five.

The actress cites the date of separation as Oct. 7, 2020.

The pair share a daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa, 16, and a son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, 15.

The “High Fidelity” star is requesting joint physical and legal custody of the minors, but she isn’t requesting spousal support.

The couple originally announced their separation via a joint statement on Instagram.

“We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times,” the couple said at the time. “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. We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy but so that as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty.”

“The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived,” they added. “We free each other to be who we are learning to become,” the statement continued. “Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life & our Children. Teaching our Children What’s possible. Living the Prayer. May Love Prevail.”

Momoa and Bonet started dating in 2005 after they met at a jazz club through mutual friends and bonded over a shared love of Guinness, but the “Dune” star has said he first fell in love with Bonet while watching her on “The Cosby Show.”

“Ever since I was 8 years old — I saw her on TV and I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one,’” he joked to James Corden on “The Late Late Show” in November 2017. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna stalk you for the rest of my life and I’m gonna get you.’ I just always wanted to meet her and she was the queen, always.”

The couple secretly wed in October 2017 but the news soon went public.

“Some a—— leaked it,” he told Entertainment Tonight after the news broke. “You know what, I’ve been married to my wife for 12 years. It’s just a gathering of our families and celebrating our love.”

Bonet also shares daughter Zoë Kravitz with ex-husband Lenny Kravitz.

After the split was announced in 2022, Momoa told the press he and Bonet were still family when he showed up at “The Batman” premiere that same year to support his stepdaughter.

“Lisa couldn’t be here so we’re representing, me and the babies,” the actor said while speaking to “Entertainment Tonight” on the red carpet. “We’re very excited to just be here. … It’s still family, you know?”

The Post has reached out to Momoa and Bonet’s reps for comment.
