Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong’o were recently spotted enjoying a romantic getaway in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where they celebrated Nyong'o's 41st birthday. The pair were seen getting cozy on the beach, running into the ocean together, and sharing intimate moments by the seaside. They were photographed holding hands and strolling along the beach in their swimsuits, clearly enamored with each other.
The actors were first linked romantically in October 2023 after attending a Janelle Monáe concert in Los Angeles. This outing initially appeared platonic as they were with other friends. Jackson, 45, had recently split from his wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, while Nyong’o was also transitioning out of her relationship with Selema Masekela.
In an interview, Nyong’o opened up about her past heartbreak and the need to be authentic about her experiences. The couple seemed to confirm their relationship in December when they were photographed holding hands in Joshua Tree, California. Jackson has a child with Turner-Smith named Juno Rose Diana.
The pair's recent vacation in Puerto Vallarta showcased their affection for each other, with sources noting that they were completely focused on each other throughout the weekend. The trip marked a special celebration for Nyong'o's birthday and highlighted the couple's strong connection.
