Backstage at the [2019 Oscars](http://time.com/5534976/oscars-2019-winners/), there was a little [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/game-of-thrones-2017/) reunion when Emilia Clarke, a.k.a. [Mother of Dragons](http://time.com/5168555/gucci-baby-dragons-runway-trend/) Daenerys Targaryen, ran into Jason Momoa, a.k.a. her former husband, Khal Drogo, backstage. Both actors served as presenters at the [91st annual Academy Awards](http://time.com/5534976/oscars-2019-winners/). The former co-stars seemed genuinely thrilled to see each other so far from the Dothraki chieftain’s land. Momoa shared a photo of the reunion on Instagram, captioning the image, “So proud of you @emilia\_clarke I love u with all my heart Aloha Drogo”, much to the delight of _Game of Thrones_ fans everywhere. The stars were both pretty in pink, appearing to color-coordinate their outfits, with Clark wearing a pink glittery Balmain gown, while Momoa opted for a pink velvet tuxedo that [_People_ reports](https://people.com/movies/oscars-2019-jason-momoa-emilia-clarke-game-of-thrones-reunion/) was custom-made by the late designer Karl Lagerfeld. While Khal Drogo and his Khaleesi may be one of _Game of Thrones_ fans’ favorite couples, Momoa’s real- life wife, Lisa Bonet, was at the reunion, too. Momoa shared a photo of his “Queens” backstage at the celebration. The eighth and final season of _Game of Thrones_ will premiere on HBO on April 14. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5537042/emilia-clarke-jason-momoa-oscars-2019/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5537042/emilia-clarke-jason-momoa-oscars-2019/"},"headline":"Daenerys Targaryen and Former Associate Khal Drogo Reunited at the Oscars and All the Feelings About That Are Valid","datePublished":"2019-02-25T17:42:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:57:42.487Z","description":"The Khal and the Khaleesi reunited at last.","url":"https://time.com/5537042/emilia-clarke-jason-momoa-oscars-2019/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards","Daenerys Targaryen","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt51a270d84500dd44/698945d7929fad71cdbf2c67/emiliaclarkeoscars2019.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt51a270d84500dd44/698945d7929fad71cdbf2c67/emiliaclarkeoscars2019.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - Arrivals","caption":"Emilia Clarke attends the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones","creditText":"Dia Dipasupil—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5537042/emilia-clarke-jason-momoa-oscars-2019/","name":"Daenerys Targaryen and Former Associate Khal Drogo Reunited at the Oscars and All the Feelings About That Are Valid"}}]}] ```
