Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong’o has confirmed her break up with actor Joshua Jackson.
During a cover shoot for the November issue of “Harper's Bazaar UK”, the award-winning actress spoke about her heartbreaking split saying that she doesn't have eyes for anyone else, except for her cat, Yoyo, at the moment.
“My love for my cat is singular. If I’m ever so lucky to be in a romantic relationship again, it’ll be because of him.
“'I was ready to shut that door and lock it and bolt it. He has ensured that my heart remains open,” she shared.
The “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star and the “Dawson’s Creek” alum first sparked romance rumours in 2023 when they were spotted at a concert in Los Angeles.
They went public with their relationship in October 2023 after Jackson’s split from wife, Jodie Turner-Smith.
Speculation about their breakup mounted in recent weeks after Jackson was seen on a date night with German H&M model Nastassja Roberts in New York City on Monday, October 7.
The 41-year-old Oscar winner previously dated American presenter and sports commentator, Selema Masekela.
They had dated for less than a year before Nyong’o announced their breakup on Instagram, the same month that she and Jackson got romantically involved.
In an online interview earlier this year, Nyong’o said: “Honestly, the thought of having to update people one at a time was going to be harrowing.
“I had made the choice to share the relationship with the world and I wanted to make the choice to share the end of it with the world.
“I knew that announcing it or sharing it with the world would mean there would be a reverb and I would have to deal with the onset of that.”
At the time, she said she “was living in a lot of pain and heartbreak” immediately following the split.
Meanwhile, Jackson has been silent on the breakup.
