It has ended in tears for well-known Mexican-Kenyan actress, Lupita Nyong’o and her boyfriend, Selema Masekela as they have broken up.

The Black Panther star announced their split in a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday.

 

 

 

“I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception. 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 the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love. And so I am choosing to face the pain, cultivating the courage to meet my life exactly as it is, and trusting this too shall pass.”
