Lupita Nyong’o: Actress separates from her partner

Lupita Nyong’o (40) is single again. The actress has just announced her separation from Selema Masekela. The couple made their relationship public last year. In a long statement, the 40-year-old now writes that although there are “much more important things in the world at the moment,” but: “At this moment it is necessary for me to tell a personal truth and to publicly express myself to distance myself from someone I can no longer trust…”

She continues: “I find myself in a time of grief because a love has been suddenly and devastatingly snuffed out by betrayal.” She was tempted to hide and return when she regained her strength. “But I am reminded that the extent of the pain I feel is equal to the extent of my capacity for love.”

Lupita Nyong’o added that she decided to “face the pain, develop the courage to face my life exactly as it is, and trust that this will pass.”

Concert attendance by Lupita Nyong’o and Joshua Jackson

Apparently the actress is helped by a celebrity friend who has also just gone through a breakup. “Dawson’s Creek” star Joshua Jackson (45) and Lupita Nyong’o were spotted together when they attended a concert by Janelle Monáe (37) in Los Angeles. , the two can be seen standing close together with friends in the audience. The actors are supposed to be just good friends.

At the beginning of October, the site “Page Six”, among others, reported that Joshua Jackson’s wife Jodie Turner-Smith (37) had filed for divorce. The usual “irreconcilable differences” were given as the reason for the separation.

Turner-Smith and Jackson apparently want to avoid an unpleasant mud fight in court. The 37-year-old asked for shared custody of their daughter Juno (3). It is also planned that mutual maintenance claims will be waived – “TMZ” reported that there is no prenuptial agreement between the two.
