LUPITA NYONG’O AND JOSHUA JACKSON CONFIRM ROMANCE

Lupita Nyong’o and Joshua Jackson have confirmed their new romance. The actors were spotted holding hands while taking a stroll on Tuesday.

Nyong’o, 40, dressed casually for the date, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with the words ‘It’s okay to cry’ written on it, with yellow pants and hiking boots. Jackson, 45, wore a white long-sleeved shirt, brown paints, white sneakers and a blue beanie on his head.

The romantic stroll came a month after they were spotted attending a concert together following their respective breakups with Jodie Turner and Selema Masekela. However, at the time, sources told TMZ that there was nothing romantic going on between the actors.

The following day, Nyong’o took to Instagram to announce that she was no longer dating Masekela. “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.” But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love. And so, I am choosing to face the pain, cultivating the courage to meet my life exactly as it is, and trusting that this too shall pass.” she wrote on Instagram.

Jackson is currently going through a split with Jodie Turner, who filed for divorce from the actor on Oct. 2 after nearly four years of marriage. The pair share a 3-year-old daughter named Janie.
