I’m aware that 2023 has already set a record for the highest number of celebrity breakups in a year, and Lupita Nongo and Salma Masaka seem to be adding to that tally. But amidst rumors of Lupita moving on with Joshua Jackson, the question remains: is this a genuine connection or just a rebound? Lita, care to confirm your relationship with Joshua Jackson? Lita, are you and Joshua Jackson an item? How was your recent date? The gossip mill never seems to stop churning. But before delving into Lupita and Salma’s saga, let’s rewind. What exactly led to the fallout between them? Whatever it was, it must have been recent, as evidenced by Licha’s now-deleted birthday tribute to Sal, where she affectionately referred to her as her “favorite Playmate.” However, Lupita’s subsequent Instagram posts suggest she’s nursing wounds of betrayal and blindsiding. In a poignant reflection, she disclosed her heartbreak after discovering a loved one’s deception, asserting her need to publicly distance herself from someone she can no longer trust.
She reflected, “The intensity of my pain mirrors the depth of my capacity to love.” Her decision to share her experience stemmed from a desire to offer solace to others in similar situations. Lupita’s public disclosure was unexpected, suggesting the profound impact of her emotional turmoil, perhaps indicating betrayal or worse. Yet, the response was overwhelmingly supportive, with fans and celebrities alike offering empathy and encouragement. Expressing gratitude for the outpouring of kindness, she shared some of the uplifting messages received under the hashtag #heartbreakhealing. Despite speculation about the circumstances, it’s unlikely financial motives were at play, considering Lupita’s partner, Salma, is a respected sports commentator, musician, and entrepreneur, heir to a legacy of activism and jazz. While rumors may swirl, Salma’s admiration for Lupita predates their relationship, originating from a chance encounter on a flight in 2016, where he candidly confessed his long-standing crush.
Shortly after his tweet, he followed up with another message: “Anyone got a good icebreaker for me with Lupita Nyong’o? Because I’m actually seated right behind her on this flight.” From there, they exchanged numbers, and though the exact start of their relationship remains ambiguous, they went public on social media in December 2022. That launch video? It was brimming with juicy details. And let me tell you, they were pretty serious—they even splurged on a $4 million four-bedroom home in Los Angeles together, suggesting they’d kept their romance low-key for quite some time. Sadly, the fairy tale didn’t last. For many, the warning sign was Lupita sharing far more about Salma than he reciprocated. While some men prefer privacy, if you’re going to flaunt your love publicly, your partner should match that energy. It seemed Salma was concealing something, hence Lupita’s post hinting at betrayal. But you know Lupita—she’s not one to dwell in the shadows after heartbreak. Rumor has it, she’s already caught someone else’s eye—none other than Joshua Jackson. Yep, moving on from Jod Turner to Lup JJ, she clearly has a type. According to insiders, when Joshua and Lupita were seen together, he seemed to be seeking solace from his own heartache as they engaged in a friendly chat.
Allegedly, they were observed gazing deeply into each other’s eyes and sharing laughter while enjoying the show from their seats. However, individuals with firsthand knowledge also indicated that Joshua and Lupita arrived together as part of a larger group, around 9 or 10 people, and there was no public display of affection. Nonetheless, according to other witnesses, Lupita and Joshua seemed quite comfortable and close. With Lupita seemingly forming a bond with Joshua, some observers voiced concerns, advising her to tread cautiously. Joshua had recently separated from Jod Turner, reportedly due to their deteriorating marriage and diverging life paths. Despite attempts to reconcile and manage their busy schedules, their relationship suffered. Thus, if there is indeed something brewing between Lupita and Joshua, it could merely be a rebound. Furthermore, doubts arose regarding Joshua’s intentions, considering his history. He famously married his ex on the night they met, despite purported reluctance to settle down. Joshua’s ambiguous statements about infidelity, suggesting forgiveness for affairs, also raised eyebrows. Given these factors, many urged Lupita to approach the situation with caution.
“There’s a deeper issue at play here. Adding to the complexity, rumors of Joshua’s infidelity towards Jodie have circulated in the past, making him an unlikely candidate for Lupita’s affections. The media even captured Joshua engaging in intimate moments with another woman in a parking lot while still with Jodie, coincidentally during the same week Jodie threw him a birthday celebration. Understandably, social media users expressed concern over Lupita’s closeness to Joshua, with one commenter expressing hope that their relationship remains platonic due to Joshua’s perceived unreliability as a partner. Jodie Turner, having seemingly caught wind of the rumors surrounding Lupita and Joshua, posted a cryptic message about personal healing and perceptions of others’ actions. It’s unclear what exactly Jodie meant by her post or why she chose to share it amidst speculation about her ex’s involvement with Lupita. Perhaps it’s all just speculation, given Lupita and Joshua’s longstanding acquaintance. However, the question remains: Has Lupita truly moved on with Joshua? And what transpired between Lupita and Salma? Share your thoughts in the comments section below, and I’ll catch you in my next video.”
