Lupita Nyong’o knows how to celebrate a birthday. He Black Panther The actress celebrated her 41st trip around the sun with a romp on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, accompanied by none other than her rumored shirtless boyfriend, Joshua Jackson.
Nyong’o has been linked to the dawson’s creek student since last year, after the timely separations of both actors. In October, news broke that Jackson and his wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, were divorcing after nearly four years of marriage (they share a daughter, Juno Rose Diana). Later that month, Nyong’o announced in a cryptic but wordy Instagram post that she and her boyfriend, sportscaster Selema Masekela, were also going their separate ways. Nyong’o and Jackson were first spotted at a Janelle Monáe concert in Los Angeles last year, and have since embarked on low-key Erewhon runs and Joshua Tree expeditions.
Now, according to the images. published bye bye! Based on Monday’s news, it looks like the duo has committed to taking their hand to a whole new landscape: the eerily quiet beaches of Mexico. Along the shore, the swimsuit-clad couple can be seen smiling, hugging, jogging, holding hands as they walk, and holding hands as they power walk. Curiously, the beach seems either completely isolated or simply wildly unpopular with the masses, given that the actors are the only souls in sight.
“They seemed madly in love,” an eyewitness reportedly told E! News. “Like they can’t get enough of each other.”
Look, if these two want to convince the world that they’re dating, they might as well go all out on Instagram. That would be a little less awkward than the paparazzi photos that appear to be from a PR relationship from the early aughts. We understand! You want to look like you’re in love! At the same time, we want Nyong’o to be happy at all costs, so if this beach game is not organized and if Jackson really organized “a huge balloon display and a stunning bouquet of flowers” in his suite (according to E!)’s anonymous source, then happy slow-motion jogging day to these two.
