<\/p>\nLupita Nyong’o voiced her heartache in an emotional statement shared to confirm her split from partner\u00a0Selema Masekela on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The heartbreaking prose detailed her vast pain and determination to ‘run into the shadows’ in the wake of the break-up, which came just hours before she was spotted putting on a cosy display with\u00a0newly-single Joshua Jackson.<\/p>\n
In the Instagram post, she wrote about the break-up and revealed she was in a ‘season of heartbreak’ due to ‘deception’ by an unnamed loved one.<\/p>\n
While she did not specify what said ‘deception’ was, she left the suggestion open as she revealed her split from her boyfriend of one year to her 10.8m followers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She penned: ‘There are much more important things going on in the world right now, and my thoughts are with those who are deeply suffering.<\/p>\n

Happier times:\u00a0Lupita had been in a relationship with the TV host and sports commentator, 52, since 2022<\/p>\n
‘At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘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, \u201cWhatever, my life is better this way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But I am reminded that 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 that this too shall pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The promise, they say, is that a tender heart is what gives birth to fearlessness. I hope it\u2019s true\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I share this to keep it, and hoping that the knowledge of my experience might be useful to someone else out there experiencing the grip of heartbreak who is poised to try and escape from the pain and miss out on the wisdom that comes from it…<\/p>\n
‘#Breakup. Let\u2019s face our pain so we don\u2019t spread it.’<\/p>\n
Lupita had been in a relationship with the TV host and sports commentator, 52, since 2022. In December Lupita shared a video on social media revealing her relationship with\u00a0 Selema, as they dressed in several different outfits.<\/p>\n
