Months after her split from Masekela, son of the late South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela, Lupita Nyong’o is opening a new chapter in her love life with Joshua Jackson.
As reported by Daily Mail, the couple, who recently made their relationship public, were seen enjoying a romantic escapade in Joshua Tree National Park.
Lupita and Joshua’s connection blossomed from a long-standing friendship. The duo first sparked dating rumours in October 2023, following their respective breakups, when they were spotted together at a Janelle Monáe concert.
According to sources, their shared experiences of dealing with personal heartaches deepened their bond, eventually leading to a romantic relationship.
Nyong’o’s previous relationship with Selema Masekela ended in pain and heartbreak, as revealed in her emotional Instagram post.
She shared her struggles with deception and betrayal, suggesting that the son of the late Jazz great had, perhaps, towed the line of loyalty with infidelity.
“I am choosing to face the pain, cultivating the courage to meet my life exactly as it is, and trusting that this too shall pass. The promise, they say, is that a tender heart is what gives birth to fearlessness. I hope it’s true…
“I share this to keep it, and hoping that the knowledge of my experience might be useful to someone else out there experiencing the grip of heartbreak who is poised to try and escape from the pain and miss out on the wisdom that comes from it,” Nyong’o wrote.
Lupita’s relationship with Masekela was rooted in a long-standing admiration. Selema had openly expressed his crush on Lupita as far back as 2016, indicating a deep connection that ultimately evolved into a relationship.
He, however, has yet to publicly address the breakup.
