He added: “Honestly, the thought of having to update people one at a time was going to be heartbreaking. I had made the decision to share the relationship with the world and I wanted to make the decision to share the end of it with the world. ‘
After adopting a cat, she added, “This cat isn’t going anywhere.” I guess the best anecdote for when you feel poorly cared for is to take care of something. And I took care of Yoyo and he opened his heart to me.
Lupita has since found love with new partner Joshua Jackson, 45, but insisted she will go back to the “old ways” of keeping her love life private.
10 months after announcing her romance with Selema, Lupita revealed that their relationship had come to a sudden end and published a vulnerable announcement.
The heartbreaking prose details her enormous grief and determination to “run into the shadows” following the breakup, which came just hours before she was seen making a cozy display with newly single Joshua.
His statement read: “There are much more important things happening in the world right now, and my thoughts are with those who are suffering deeply.”
‘At this time, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly disassociate myself from someone I can no longer trust…
‘I find myself in a season of heartbreak due to a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception.

‘I’m tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I’ve regained enough strength to say, ‘Whatever, my life is better this way.’
‘But I remember that the magnitude of the pain I feel is equal to the measure of my capacity to love. So I choose to face the pain, cultivating the courage to face my life exactly as it is and trusting that this too shall pass.
‘The promise, they say, is that a tender heart is what gives rise to bravery. I hope it’s true…
‘I share this for the sake of it and in the hope that the knowledge of my experience may be useful to someone else who is experiencing the grip of heartbreak and who is prepared to try to escape the pain and miss out on the wisdom that comes from it. ..
‘#Breaking off. Let’s face our pain so as not to spread it.”
Lupita and Joshua confirmed their relationship with a screen full of PDA after sources exclusively confirmed to DailyMail.com that they are dating.
In December, the couple took a romantic walk through Joshua Tree National Park located in San Bernardino County, California.
Joshua, 45, whose wife Jodie Turner-Smith filed for divorce just two months earlier, seemed absolutely smitten with the Academy Award winner.
10 months after announcing her romance with Selema (pictured), Lupita revealed that their relationship had suddenly ended and posted a vulnerable announcement.
Lupita has since found love with new partner Joshua (pictured), 45, but insisted she will go back to the “old ways” of keeping her love life private.
The first time they sparked speculation was in October when they enjoyed a Janelle Monáe concert together, shortly after their respective separations were announced.
This led to their friendship turning into a “romance.”
“Things have slowly turned into a romance between the two,” the source said. ‘They’ve been amazing friends for a long time and Josh didn’t want to ruin that.
‘But as they’ve dated more and dealt with their breakups, dealing with it together has added another level to their friendship. Now it’s a physical relationship. They are a couple.’
At the time of their exit, a source explained to DailyMail.com that the couple were trying to take things slow while going through their recent breakups.
They revealed: ‘Joshua has a type and Lupita definitely fits that perfectly. But they’re just friends, it’s still a little early for Joshua to start dating again.
‘Could it be an object with Lupita later? Without a doubt… They are both still going through the same thing with their recent breakups and are still looking to heal.’
