Lupita Nyong’o's Heartbreaking Revelation: A Shocking End to Love With Selema Masekela After the Crushing Blow of Deception

Lupita Nyong'o has confirmed the end of her relationship with Selema Masekela, hinting that the separation might not be on friendly terms.

"At present, it is imperative for me to reveal a personal truth and publicly distance myself from an individual whom I can no longer have faith in..." Nyong'o, aged 40, expressed through a detailed statement on Instagram on Thursday, October 19th. "I find myself in a period of profound sadness as a result of a love that was abruptly and severely extinguished due to deceit."

Nyong'o disclosed that she was enticed to withdraw from the spotlight and conceal herself until she had "recovered" her resilience. Nevertheless, the actress ultimately chose to be sincere regarding her feelings.

"I choose to confront the pain, nurturing the bravery to embrace my life exactly as it is, and trusting in the transience of this moment," she conveyed. "The wisdom suggests that a gentle heart is the birthplace of fearlessness. I wish it to be true... I share this to preserve it, hopeful that my experience may be of value to someone grappling with heartbreak, who may be tempted to evade the pain and miss out on the insights it brings. #Breakup."

Nyong'o concluded her statement by urging her followers to confront their pain rather than transmitting it.

Masekela, aged 52, has not yet commented on the breakup. However, both Masekela and Nyong'o's social media profiles no longer display any photos of each other.

Although Nyong'o did not directly mention Masekela's name in her recent post, he was the last person she was romantically associated with. In December 2022, the Oscar winner openly acknowledged her relationship with Masekela.

"We simply clicked! @selema #thisismylove #nuffsaid," she wrote as the caption to an Instagram video that has since been deleted. In the video, the couple can be seen trying on outfits together.

The night before she announced her breakup with Masekela, Nyong'o was photographed with Joshua Jackson. Jackson, who separated from his estranged wife Jodie Turner-Smith in September, and Nyong'o attended Janelle Monáe's concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 18. According to TMZ, they attended the concert with a group of friends and appeared to be enjoying themselves, smiling and dancing in their seats.

Jackson and Turner Smith, both aged 37, tied the knot in 2019 after meeting in 2018. The couple became parents to a daughter in 2020. However, only four years into their marriage, Turner-Smith decided to file for divorce. Prior to attending a concert, Jackson's former spouse shared a profound quote emphasizing the power of love in fostering personal development during trying times. "Everything has the potential to heal and flourish when it receives love, including people," the quote was posted on Turner-Smith's Instagram account on Tuesday, October 17.
