Lupita Nyong’o and beau Selema Masekela have called it quits. Their love was ‘suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception,’ the ‘Us’ actor says.
Lupita Nyong’o announced Thursday that she and Selema Masekela had split up.
Nyong’o opened up her emotional Instagram post by acknowledging that there were “much more important things going on in the world right now” and saying that her thoughts “ were with those who are deeply suffering.”
The “Black Panther” actor then said she needed to “publicly dissociate [herself] from someone [she] can no longer trust… I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception.”
Nyong’o initially felt as though she should “run into the shadows and hide” until she had full emotionally recovered from the situation, she said, but instead decided that it was necessary to “face our pain so we don’t spread it.
