Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong'o were spotted sharing a passionate kiss while celebrating Nyong'o's 41st birthday in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The couple was seen engaging in public displays of affection during a walk on the beach, holding hands and embracing each other lovingly. Nyong'o looked stunning in a tribal print bikini, while Jackson opted for black swim shorts.
Their relationship was confirmed three months ago when they were photographed holding hands in Joshua Tree, California. The pair was first seen together in October 2023 at a concert in Inglewood, California, but sources initially denied any romantic involvement between them.
Jackson's divorce from his wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, was recently finalized after four years of marriage. Turner-Smith filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences and requested joint custody of their 3-year-old daughter. Nyong'o also announced her split from boyfriend Selema Masekela due to deception in a heartfelt Instagram post.
Despite the unexpected nature of their respective breakups, sources revealed that both Jackson and Nyong'o were in unhealthy relationships prior to their current romance. Nyong'o expressed her heartbreak over the deception she faced in her previous relationship, emphasizing the need to publicly dissociate herself from someone she could no longer trust.
