Lupita Nyong'o confirmed her split from Joshua Jackson after he was spotted with a new woman.
Lupita Nyong’o and Joshua Jackson have officially called it quits, marking the end of their whirlwind romance.

“My love for my cat is singular,” Nyong’o, 41, said, affectionately referring to her orange tomcat, Yoyo. “I was ready to shut that door and lock it and bolt it. He has ensured that my heart remains open.”
The actress adopted Yoyo from the Best Friends Animal Society in October 2023 — the same month she and Jackson, 46, were first spotted together.
This revelation followed weeks of speculation surrounding Nyong’o and Jackson’s relationship status after the latter was seen in New York City with Nastassja Roberts — a German H&M model — on September 23, fueling rumors of a breakup.

Celebrity gossip platform Deuxmoi also weighed in, reporting that Jackson and Roberts were seen together at an event celebrating FX's latest series, Grotesquerie, which features Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 34.
The Dawson's Creek alum and the Us star first sparked romance rumors in October 2023 when they were spotted getting close at a Janelle Monáe concert in Los Angeles, just weeks after the former’s divorce from actress Jodie Turner-Smith.
Jackson, who shares daughter Juno Rose Diana, with Turner-Smith, 38, appeared to be quickly moving on from the split, causing the public to be intrigued by his budding relationship with Nyong’o.
