Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o and former "Dawson's Creek" star Joshua Jackson have ignited dating speculations following a discreet grocery outing in Los Angeles.
The duo was spotted at Erewhon, a popular grocery store, on Monday. Lupita attempted to avoid attention by ducking out of sight when their car stopped, but her efforts were unsuccessful. Undeterred, Joshua continued the charade of a solo outing, entering the store first, with Lupita following suit a few minutes later.
Their coordinated efforts to dodge cameras, combined with their recent history, have fueled speculation about a potential romantic connection. Joshua and Lupita have been acquainted for years, and signs point to a shift in their relationship in October when they were seen together at Janelle Monae's concert.
While the concert itself lacked public displays of affection, the timing was intriguing. Lupita had ended her long-term relationship with Sal Masekela on the same day, promptly removing all traces of him from her Instagram. Additionally, TMZ had reported a week prior that Joshua's four-year marriage to actress/model Jodie Turner-Smith had come to an end.
Whether their grocery run aimed at genuine privacy or was a calculated publicity stunt remains uncertain. However, their recent social media activity and coordinated attempt at low-profile shopping have undoubtedly stirred curiosity among fans and media outlets.
Only time will reveal if Lupita and Joshua will officially confirm their relationship, but their actions suggest more than casual friendship. Their apparent desire for secrecy leaves the public eager for further developments and potential confirmation of their romance.
