Following her breakup, Mexican-Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o has shared the supportive messages she received.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the 41-year-old actress posted words of encouragement from well-wishers after announcing her split with Selema Masekela, her now-ex-partner.
The Oscar winner, who revealed the end of her relationship with the television host after a year, shared a series of quotes with the hashtag #HeartbreakHealing.
‘Let the healing begin,’ she wrote, citing a motivational phrase from author R.H. Sin.
Nyong’o also quoted travel blogger Jessica Nabongo and wrote: ‘When we stand in our truth, it allows others to do the same. Sending love.’
‘Vulnerability is a superpower,’ she wrote, sharing a message from Georgia State Representative Inga Willis. ‘We lift you up with love, and assemble the sisterhood circle around your heart.’
Nyong’o also shared a message from digital artist Ergo Josh that read: ‘You’re leading so many women to freedom.
‘As you validate your own emotions others can follow suit,’ the quote continued. ‘She’s exactly right y’all. The depth of that pain is directly correlated to the depth of your love.’
The message also said: ‘Don’t suppress it or else you will suppress the love you can give to yourself and others simultaneously.
Lupita had been in a relationship with the TV host and sports commentator, 52, since 2022. He is also the co-founder of the surf apparel company Mami Wata.
Lupita’s breakup announcement came just hours after she was seen looking cozy with actor Joshua Jackson at a Janelle Monae concert.
In the photos, Dawson’s Creek star Joshua, 45, who shares daughter Juno Rose Diana, three, with estranged wife Jodie Turner-Smith, 37, was seen looking close with Lupita at the Janelle Monae gig in LA.
Turner-Smith, whom Joshua married in 2019, filed for divorce on October 2, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’
