THEIR HISTORY
Jason and Lisa tied the knot in October 2017, but they have been together much longer.
The couple met in a New York jazz club through mutual friends in 2005.
Speaking with James Corden on The Late Late Show, Jason said: "We just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
"I actually had dreaded my hair for her. I had dreadlocks, she had dreadlocks. I literally turned my head around and I see her and she goes, 'I'm Lisa.'
"I turned around to my friend and I screamed. I had fireworks going off inside. I convinced her to take me home, because I was living in a hotel."
After 12 years together, Jason and Lisa decided to make it legal and get married.

She was featured in The Canvas Of My Life, a short film about her dad, Jason, as a husband and a parent.
Lisa and Jason are also parents to Nakoa-Wolf Momoa.

His name is a nod to his father's Hawaiian heritage.
Nokoa means warrior in the native language of Hawaii.
The boy's middle name, Manakauapo, is a combination of two Hawaiian terms with one meaning rain and the other meaning dark.
