More On Lupita Nyong’o & Joshua Jackson’s FIRST Date-Looking Outing

The Shade Room exclusively shared the images of Lupita Nyong’o and Joshua Jackson at a Janelle Mona show in October. Photos of the night showed the two casually hanging out — sharing what looked to be small comments and laughs. They also interacted with other friends at the concert.

However, this latest outing is the first we’ve seen the alleged pair engage in some intimate contact.

After TSR shared the exclusive images, Lupita revealed that she had split from her boyfriend, Salema Masekela. In an Instagram post, she suggested that she “can no longer trust” Salema and said she was in “a season of heartbreak.”

“I am tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have regained my strength enough for me to say, Whatever, my life is better this way. But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love,” Lupita Nyongo wrote.

However, in her statement, she didn’t acknowledge her connection or status with Jackson. No word yet about what their latest outing means for the entertainers.

Still, it looks like the ‘Black Panther’ star definitely isn’t hiding in the shadows but frolicking just fine in California desert sunshine!

Roomies, y’all think Lupita Nyong’o is exploring her “capacity for love” with Joshua Jackson?
