As a rule, when celebrities announce their break-up, they say that they’re still friends with their ex, that there’ll always be lots of love and that everything’s fine.

Lupita Nyong’o, for her part, is going through a difficult separation, and the heroine of “Black Panther” has decided not to let on that all is well.
On October 19, 2023, the 40-year-old Mexican-Kenyan actress shared a lengthy message on Instagram, in which she clearly hinted that her now ex, entertainer, had cheated on her. “I need to share a personal truth and publicly disassociate myself from someone I can no longer trust,” she began. “I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception”.
