Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong’o, who played the role of Nakia in Black Panther, have been recently seen heating up the shores of Puerto Vallarta as they celebrated Nyong’o’s 41st birthday on a romantic getaway.
The couple, who have been making headlines since their romantic involvement surfaced in October 2023, were captured by paparazzi engaging in affectionate displays, igniting further speculation about the status of their relationship.
In exclusive photos obtained by E! News, Jackson, 45, and Nyong’o, 41, appeared inseparable as they frolicked in the ocean and shared intimate moments on the beach. The images captured the duo holding hands, embracing, and nearly kissing.
A source close to the couple revealed to PEOPLE that the pair seemed completely enamored with each other throughout the weekend.
“They only had eyes for each other all weekend,” the source disclosed. “They kept kissing, laughing, and just had the best time.”

The actors first sparked relationship rumors after being spotted together at a Janelle Monáe concert in Los Angeles in October 2023. Despite initially appearing as friends among a group of Hollywood acquaintances, their relationship soon transitioned into a romantic entanglement, particularly following Jackson’s separation from his wife, Jodie Turner-Smith.
Jackson’s split from Turner-Smith was announced in early October 2023, with sources citing diverging life paths and an unhealthy marriage as contributing factors. The actor shares a child, Juno Rose Diana, with Turner-Smith.
Meanwhile, Nyong’o was also undergoing a period of transition, having recently ended her relationship with Selema Masekela.
In an interview with NET-A-PORTER’s digital title PORTER, Nyong’o opened up about the pain and heartbreak she experienced during this time, emphasizing her desire for authenticity amidst social media’s façade of perfection.
The blossoming romance between Jackson and Nyong’o continued to unfold in December 2023 when the couple was photographed hand in hand while exploring Joshua Tree, California.
These public sightings, coupled with their recent romantic escapade in Puerto Vallarta, suggest that their relationship is flourishing despite the challenges they’ve faced individually.
