Actress Lupita Nyong’o and actor Joshua Jackson have confirmed their breakup, which has generated considerable buzz among their fans. The couple, who were first spotted together in 2024, had been relatively private about their relationship, but their recent split has caught the public’s attention.
The breakup was alluded to by Nyong’o during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. In the conversation, she mentioned her pet cat, Yoyo, and how her love for the cat had made her rethink future relationships. She explained,
“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,” suggesting that her relationship with Jackson had come to an end.
Nyong’o also revealed that she was initially prepared to “shut that door and lock it,” but Yoyo had helped her keep her heart open to love again in the future.
Yoyo, whom she adopted in October 2023, seems to have played a significant role in her emotional journey post-breakup.
Their relationship had been confirmed earlier in March 2024 when they were photographed enjoying a romantic getaway in Mexico for Nyong’o’s 41st birthday.
During that trip, the couple appeared deeply in love, with locals observing that they couldn’t get enough of each other.
However, it appears that despite their strong connection during that time, the relationship has now come to a quiet close.
Nyong’o’s remarks about her cat indicate a focus on her personal growth and healing after the breakup, suggesting that she is now content with her current chapter, with a focus on her bond with Yoyo.
Fans of the couple have expressed their sadness over the split but are respecting their privacy as they navigate this new phase in their lives.
