Lupita Nyong’o has gone Instagram official with TV host Selema Masekela after debuting their relationship in the best way.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Lupita made her relationship with 51-year-old sports reporter Selema public with the pair both posting the same video of themselves snapping their fingers and changing into new outfits while Iniko and Reuel Williams’ The King’s Affirmation played in the background.
They start off in matching blue and white robes (complete with fluffy slippers) before wearing matching purple, cheetah-print swimsuits alongside a range of other stylish ensembles, in beat with the tune.
Following their final look, Lupita and Selema break character and dance at the end of the clip.
Could they be any more iconic?
Lupita, 39, captioned her post with a heart emoji: ‘We just click! @selema #thisismylove #nuffsaid.(sic)’
Sharing the clip, Selema wrote on his: ‘Hearts are synched. My whole and actual love @lupitanyongo. [three heart emoji] #outkickedthecoverage ‘wink face emoji].’
Safe to say famous friends were quick to comment on the pair’s posts, with Ava DuVernay sharing a black heart emoji, and Glass Onion star Janelle Monae adding two heart-eye faces alongside a necessary: ‘Obsessed.’
Lupita has kept her personal life on the down low since finding fame in Hollywood, but hasn’t been able to dodge dating rumours after she was linked to her Black Panther co-star Michael B Jordan.
After the pair did nothing to quash dating rumours by staging a make-out scene in a photo booth at a Golden Globes after-party in 2019, they were forced to deny speculation they were more than friends.
Addressing the speculation at the time, Lupita said the rumours were ‘flattering’.
She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘It’s flattering at the end of the day. I think it’s such a rare thing to find people you have good chemistry with and too for us to find each other as actors and get to work together, it makes the work richer that we truly enjoy each other’s company on and off screen.’
Michael said: ‘We’re good friends. Honestly, we’ve known each other a really long time and respect each other and I love this girl to death.’
