Joshua Jackson, 45, and Lupita Nyong’o, 40, appear to be confirming romance rumors after being seen together on an errand run in Los Angeles. The Oscar winner and actor, who were previously photographed at a performance in October, were at ease while shopping at Erewhon.
Jackson and Nyong’o, who recently split from Jodie Turner-Smith and Selema Masekela, were dressed casually, with Jackson wearing a white tee and denim and Nyong’o wearing a floral top, black trousers, and a khaki baseball cap.
Jackson and Nyong’o were seen speaking in a car before walking out together, accompanied by Nyong’o’s rescue cat YoYo.
According to the Daily Mail, their October outing occurred a day before Nyong’o formally announced her split from Masekela and a month after Jackson’s divorce from Turner-Smith, with whom he had a three-year-old daughter named Juno.
The Black Panther star recently turned to Instagram to discuss a “break-up” and share her feelings of being in a “season of heartbreak” as a result of “deception” from an unknown individual.
She wrote: “There are much more important things going on in the world right now, and my thoughts are with those who are deeply suffering.
“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.
“I am tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have regained my strength enough for me to say, “Whatever, my life is better this way.”
Nyong’o also described her great suffering as a manifestation of her ability for love. She stated her hope that her experience can help others dealing with sorrow by drawing on the idea that a soft heart leads to fearlessness.
Jackson and Turner-Smith had been married since 2019. In October, she filed for divorce, alleging “irreconcilable differences.” The parents of Juno Rose Diana, three, recently agreed to joint custody, with both sides conceding irreconcilable differences in judicial paperwork.
