There’s love in the air for Lupita Nyong’o and Selema Masekela!
The ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ star and TV host announced their relationship Friday with adorable Instagram posts.
“We’re just clicking!” 💘 @selema #thisismylove #nuffsaid,” Nyong’o, 39, captioned an Instagram reel of the new couple snapping in unison as their outfits changed to the tune of “The King’s Affirmation (Chill Mix)” of Iniko with Reuel Williams.
Masekela, 51, shared the same video but used his own caption.
“The hearts are synchronized. My full and real love @lupitanyongo. ❤️❤️❤️#outkickedthecoverage 😉,” he gushed.
The lovebirds appear to be on vacation, as their outfits have changed from matching paisley dresses to matching cheetah print swimsuits. They’ve also rocked three stylish ensembles that complement each other.
The couple’s celebrity friends couldn’t contain their excitement.

“Everyone – when they’re done with their day’s work – wants to go home to their family, which makes perfect sense,” she added. “When you don’t have that, it’s very isolating.”
