Lupita and Joshua first sparked dating rumors in October last year, fresh off the back of Joshua’s split from Jodie.

Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong'o found each other after heartbreak, but their relationship was short-lived. In October 2023, Jodie Turner-Smith filed for divorce from Jackson after four years of marriage.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, the actress confirmed that she is single, after most recently being linked to actor Joshua Jackson. The news indicates the two have broken up after about a year of dating. But Nyong'o revealed that she had actually adopted Yoyo last year, following a breakup with sports commentator Selema Masekela.
