Lupita Nyong’o Reflects on ‘Pain’ From Selema Masekela Breakup: ‘I Just Wanna Be Real About It’

In a new interview, the Oscar winner explained why she chose to reveal her split from Selema amidst her romance with Joshua Jackson.

However, after sharing last year’s breakup news with her social media followers, the Academy Award winner, 40, is opening up about her split from ex-boyfriend Selema Masekela amid her relationship with new boyfriend Joshua Jackson. “And that was very, very sage of me,” she added before pouting out, “I’m going back to those days, by the way.” The publication noted that Lupita was hinting at her current relationship with Joshua, 45, who also split from his estranged wife, Jodie Turner-Smith last year. I am tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have regained my strength enough for me to say, ‘Whatever, my life is better this way.’ But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love.”
