On October 19th, Lupita Nyong'o took to Instagram to announce her heartbreaking split from her boyfriend, Salema Masekela. She had a lengthy, heartfelt statement for her followers.
Nyong'o started by recognizing that there were more important issues in the world and her thoughts were with those deeply suffering. She then went on to explain that she was dissociating herself from someone she could no longer trust.
The Black Panther actress admitted that all of what had happened made her want to "run into the shadows and hide." However, she chose to face the pain and cultivate courage to meet her life as it is. She then encouraged her fans to do the same.
Nyong'o wanted to make it clear that she was sharing her experience to help any of her followers going through the same thing. She ended her post with the important reminder, “Let’s face our pain so we don’t spread it.”
Nyong'o and Masekela confirmed their relationship in December of last year with a video on Instagram. Although she did not mention him by name in her statement, it was clear who she was speaking of.
