Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o and Canadian actor Joshua Jackson have seemingly confirmed their romantic relationship through a series of affectionate gestures captured during a recent getaway in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The pair, both prominent figures in Hollywood, were spotted celebrating Nyong’o’s 41st birthday in what appeared to be a romantic escapade, marked by intimate moments shared along the seaside.
Photographs circulating online depict Nyong’o and Jackson engaging in various displays of affection, from running into the ocean hand in hand to nearly sharing a kiss while embracing by the shore. Their cozy stroll along the beach, clad in swimsuits and holding hands, further attests to the blossoming romance between the two stars.
This public outing isn’t the first time Nyong’o and Jackson have been seen together romantically. Back in December 2023, the duo was initially spotted on a romantic walk, with sightings of them holding hands and running errands at a local market.
Their growing closeness was evident, accompanied by Nyong’o’s pet, Yoyo, adding to the picture of a budding relationship.
The romantic entanglement comes amidst both Nyong’o and Jackson navigating the aftermath of their respective public breakups.
Jackson’s four-year marriage to actress Jodie Turner-Smith ended, with Turner-Smith filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. In a candid interview with The Times, Turner-Smith expressed her newfound sense of liberation and focus on self-improvement following the split.
Nyong’o, on the other hand, confirmed the end of her one-year relationship with Selema Masekela in a heartfelt social media post.
She detailed the pain of heartbreak resulting from deception and the necessity to distance herself from someone she could no longer trust.
