The Oscar-winning actress and the TV host announced they are in a relationship on Instagram on Friday with some cute posts.
The 39-year-old Black Panther: Wakanda forever actress posted an Ins reel of her and her new man snapping in unison while their outfits changed. She wrote:
“We just click! ? @selema #thisismylove #nuffsaid,”
Masekela also shared the same video but with a different caption. The 51-year-old expressed his love for Lupita by writing:
“Hearts are synched. My whole and actual love @lupitanyongo. ❤️❤️❤️#outkickedthecoverage ?,”
The short clip showed the new lovers on vacation with their ensembles changing quickly from matching paisley robes to cheetah-printed bathing suits.
Apart from that, the couple also looked stylish in three different outfits that complemented each other’s style as The King’s Affirmation- Chill Mix featuring Reuel Williams played in the background.
Fans and friends of the pair were elated for the new couple and expressed their excitement with congratulatory messages.
Musician Janelle Monae commented on Nyong’o’s post:
“Obsessed ??,”
Tracee Ellis Ross commented with all hearts emoji.
Meanwhile, R&B singer Kehlani wrote on the broadcaster’s post:
“Woooooowwwww i LOVE THISSSSSSS BROOOO.”

“Congrats bud. You deserve it ??????,”
Fuller Housealum Jodie Sweetin commented:
Ok… the dancing. The looks. This is all ???.”
Lupita wants to keep her relationship private
The TV host’s friend and fellow media star Jason Kennedy also gave the couple a thumbs up by saying:
“I’m here for this ?.”
Nyong’o who previously publicly denied having dated Michael B. Jordan or Jared Leto is trying her best to keep her budding romance with the TV personality private because “privacy is a commodity that is hard to come by.”
In December 2019, the Non-Stop actress wrote:
“Filming is so time-consuming. And intense,”
“With ‘Black Panther,’ a lot of us were single. On ‘Little Monsters,’ nobody was single.”
The Mexico-born actress added:
“Everyone — when they’re done with their day’s work — wants to go home to their families, which makes a whole lot of sense,”
“When you don’t have that, it’s very isolating.”
Masekela hails from New York and he is the son of famous South African jazz musician Hugh Masekela. He worked as a sports reporter and has covered the Winter X Games for ESPN and the Summer Olympics for NBC.
