Onscreen “Game of Thrones” couple and real-life friends Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa reunited this weekend at a birthday celebration. The pair took to Instagram to show their affection, with photos capturing them in each other’s arms and lots of heart emojis.
Clarke, who played dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen, posted a photo on Saturday of Momoa literally sweeping her off her feet at a party for “Thrones” co-creator David Benioff. She captioned it, “When your sun and stars rolls into town you check that he can still bench press a Khaleesi.”
Momoa commented on the post, “love u forever moon of my life” including seven heart emojis.

The cast members have remained friends for years, despite only sharing a few episodes together before Momoa’s character, Khal Drogo, was killed at the end of the first season.
Clarke referenced her character’s short-lived romance with the fierce Dothraki warlord, adding the hashtags “#drinkingwithdrogoimamazedwesurvived #theboysarebackintown
#likeheneverleft.”
Momoa, who in real life is married to actress Lisa Bonet, shared his own collection of photos from the celebration, including a picture of Clarke sitting on his lap. He wrote in the caption, “MOON OF MY LIFE. you are wonderful love u forever” and referenced the pair’s wide grins with the hashtag “#smilelyeyes.”
In the rest of the caption, Momoa celebrated “Game of Thrones” showrunner Benioff and included photos of the two together at the party.
The cast members, many of whom share off-screen connections, reunite frequently and share photos with their loyal fanbase. In April, the “Game of Thrones” cast and crew joined host Conan O’Brien for an reunion special to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show.
In 2022, the “Game of Thrones” universe will be expanded upon in the upcoming series “House of the Dragon,” a prequel about the House of Targaryen civil war set centuries before the time of Clarke’s character.
