Joshua Jackso, Lupita Nyong'o confirm their relationship

The pair first caught public attention as a possible couple in October 2023 when they were seen at a concert by Janelle Monae in Los Angeles.

At that time, both Jackson and Nyong'o were ending previous relationships. Jackson was going through a divorce with Jodie Turner-Smith, with whom he has a child. Nyong'o had also just shared news about her breakup with Selema Masekela.

In a recent talk with PORTER magazine, Nyong'o spoke about how tough her breakup was and why she decided to share this part of her life publicly.

She mentioned wanting to be real with people and show that life isn't always perfect, as it might seem on social media.

"I was living in a lot of pain and heartbreak," she said, adding, "I looked at the environment of my social media and thought I don't want to be a part of this illusion."
