Lupita Nyong’o began her lengthy statement in October 2023 by acknowledging there were many more pressing issues going on in the world than yet another celebrity breakup announcement. And while her heart goes out to those who are truly suffering, she had things she felt she needed to get off her chest: “At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust… I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception,” Nyong’o wrote. Careful to not name names and spill too much information, the “Black Panther” star said she was intent on keeping a positive outlook regarding her situation and hopes others would be inspired by her story. She also wished for her own healing, writing, “I am choosing to face the pain… and trusting that this too shall pass.”
Speaking to Net-A-Porter in February 2024, Nyong’o confessed that she took her split with Selema Masekela especially hard, as she truly believed that she found her forever person in the ESPN host. She said it was for this same reason that she decided to be much more open to her fans regarding her love life — a decision that she now frankly regrets. Looking back, Nyong’o said it was the right call to keep her relationships private: “That was very, very sage of me. I’m going back to those days.”
