This Thursday (19), it was 40-year-old Lupita Nyong’o’s turn to announce the end of her relationship with Selema Masekela.
“There are much more important things happening in the world right now, and my thoughts are with those who are hurting deeply,” the “Black Panther” actress began.
“At this time, 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 time of heartbreak over a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deceit. I feel tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I regain enough strength to say, ‘Whatever, my life is better this way.’ But I remember the magnitude of love. What I feel is equal to the measure of my capacity to love”, he continued.
Afterwards, the actress says that she prefers to face the pain, cultivating the courage to face life as it is, trusting that this phase will pass.
“The promise, they say, is that a tender heart is what gives rise to fearlessness. I hope it’s true… I share this to remain honest, and hoping that the knowledge of my experience may be helpful to someone else who is facing the pinch of heartbreak and who is prepared to try to escape the pain and lose the wisdom that comes from it. Let’s face our pain so we don’t spread it,” she added.
The romance
In December 2022, Lupita publicly admitted that she was dating American sports presenter Selema Masekela. At the time, the couple shared a video, now deleted from social media, in which they appeared together.
“We get along well”, said the actress who also used the hashtag “this is my love” in the publication. “Hearts in sync. My all and current love”, he said at the time.
