In a candid and emotionally charged message to her fans, Lupita Nyong’o has revealed her recent breakup with Selema Masekela, citing the painful experience of ‘deception’ as the cause. Nyong’o, the Oscar-winning actress, made her relationship with Masekela public in December 2022.

Sharing Pain and Seeking Healing

Nyong’o, aged 40, took to Instagram to announce her split from boyfriend Selema Masekela, while also urging her followers to confront their pain rather than letting it fester. In her heartfelt message, she began by acknowledging the world’s ongoing challenges, emphasizing that her thoughts are with those who are suffering deeply. Despite the weight of global issues, she emphasized the need to share her personal truth and distance herself from someone she can no longer trust.

A Love Shattered by Deception

Nyong’o described the profound heartbreak she’s experiencing, stemming from a love that was suddenly and devastatingly extinguished due to deception.

The ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ star shared her personal story with the intent of keeping it genuine, hoping that her experience might offer solace and wisdom to those grappling with heartbreak. Nyong’o concluded her message with a heartfelt plea, reminding everyone to acknowledge and face their pain rather than allowing it to spread.

No Mention of Masekela

Throughout the message, Nyong’o refrained from mentioning Masekela by name, maintaining a level of discretion. As of the time of the announcement, neither Masekela nor his representatives had responded to requests for comment from PEOPLE.

Public Appearances Post-Breakup

Nyong’o’s announcement coincided with her recent attendance at a Janelle Monae concert with friends, including actor Joshua Jackson, 45. Joshua Jackson’s wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, had recently filed for divorce. Nyong’o and Masekela’s relationship became public on Instagram in December 2022, though the exact start date of their relationship remains unclear.
