Lupita Nyong’o and Joshua Jackson weren’t shy about hiding their budding romance during a recent vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The pair previously kept their relationship under wraps, but it seems they’re finally ready to share their love with the world. The Oscar-winning actress and Dawson’s Creek star weren’t just in Mexico for a getaway, they were there to celebrate Lupita’s 41st birthday in style.
Romantic Getaway
According to reports, Nyong’o and Jackson celebrated her birthday in a romantic Mexican resort. E! News reports that the couple didn’t mind who saw them as they held hands and flirted on the beach. In a video obtained by the outlet, Nyong’o sported a bikini, showing off her toned abs, while Jackson opted for dark swimming shorts. The chemistry between the two was evident as they packed on the PDA, with Nyong’o at one point wrapping her arms around Jackson’s neck. It’s clear to say that these two are certainly in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.
The Timeline of Their Romance
Despite their public display of affection, the timeline of Nyong’o and Jackson’s romance has come into question. Recently coming out of a relationship with Selema Masekela amid allegations of infidelity on his part, Nyongo’s transition to Jackson was somewhat brisk. This swift transition came a short while after Jackson’s estranged wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, filed for divorce. The timeline suggests a mere six-week gap between Jackson’s separation and his relationship with Nyong’o, a factor that has raised some eyebrows.
Turner-Smith hasn’t remained silent on the subject, hinting in a recent interview with the Sunday Times that she’s striving to choose the “healthiest” path for herself and her young daughter, Juno.
Wrapping Up
Whether they’re enjoying a casual outing in Los Angeles or publicly declaring their love in Mexico, it seems Nyong’o and Jackson are smitten with each other. As they navigate Hollywood’s glare and the challenges that celebrity relationships often face, fans across the globe are simply waiting to see what’s next for this blossoming power couple.
