Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong’o appeared to confirm romance rumors as the pair were spotted on an errand run in Los Angeles recently.
The actor, 45, and the Oscar winner, 40 – who were seen at a concert together in October in exclusive DailyMail.com snaps amid their splits from Jodie Turner Smith and Selema Masekela – looked relaxed as they shopped together at Erewhon.
Joshua wore a white tee and jeans as he chatted with a stylish Lupita, who wore a floral top, black trousers and a khaki baseball cap.
The pair were seen chatting together in a car before heading off – accompanied by Lupita’s rescue cat YoYo.
Their first outing together in October came just one day before Lupita confirmed her split from Masekela and one month after Jackson split from Turner Smith, 37 – with whom he shares daughter Juno, three.

The Black Panther star took to Instagram to wax lyrical about a ‘break-up’ and reveal she was in a ‘season of heartbreak’ due to ‘deception’ by her unnamed loved one.
She wrote: ‘There are much more important things going on in the world right now, and my thoughts are with those who are deeply suffering.
‘At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust…
‘I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception.
‘I am tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have regained my strength enough for me to say, “Whatever, my life is better this way.”
‘But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love. And so, I am choosing to face the pain, cultivating the courage to meet 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 birth to fearlessness. I hope it’s true… I share this to keep it, and hoping that the knowledge of my experience might be useful to someone else out there experiencing the grip of heartbreak who is poised to try and escape from the pain and miss out on the wisdom that comes from it. #Breakup
‘Let’s face our pain so we don’t spread it.’

Lupita had been in a relationship with the TV host and sports commentator, 52, since 2022.
In December Lupita shared a video on social media revealing her relationship with Selema, as they dressed in several different outfits.
The video was set to the song The King’s Affirmation – Chill Mix featuring Reuel Williams and featured the couple snapping along while changing into various outfits.
The star posted the video to her Instagram and captioned it: ‘We just click! @selema #thisismylove #nuffsaid.’
Selema is a sports reporter and the co-founder of the surf apparel company Mami Wata.
Turner-Smith, whom Joshua married in 2019, filed for divorce on October 2, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’
The couple started dating in 2018 – two years after he split from Diane Kruger – and they tied the knot in August 2019. Jackson and Turner-Smith welcomed daughter Juno Rose Diana in April 2020.
Last month the former couple agreed to joint custody of their three-year-old daughter.
The Fatal Attraction star responded in legal docs reviewed by The Blast to last month’s divorce filing from the model-actress agreeing with his estranged spouse that they share ‘irreconcilable differences.’

The Dawson Creek alum said that he was also in accord with Turner-Smith, who’s been seen in films such as Queen & Slim, The Independent and White Noise, on directly following the terms of prenuptial agreement they made prior to their marriage.
The Vancouver-born actor, who has appeared in movies such as Cruel Intentions, Gossip and One Week, said that he differed with Turner-Smith on their stated separation date.
Turner-Smith, who has appeared on TV shows including Sex Education, The Last Ship and Jett, had listed September 13, 2023 in legal docs as the day they split. Jackson said it actually occurred September 30, 2023. The difference in dates is not expected to make any impact on the progress of the ongoing divorce case.
Turner-Smith, citing privacy concerns, has requested a private judge oversee their settlement, the outlet reported. Celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser is representing her in the divorce.
In September 2022 the pair sparked split rumors after they unfollowed each other on social media – after previously sharing multiple posts indicating the marriage was going fine.
Both stars have been seen publicly in the wake of their split going public: Turner-Smith was seen at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London November 15, as well as the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala November 4.
DailyMail.com exclusively reported October 3 that Jackson, ‘isn’t thrilled’ about the termination of his marriage – while insisting that there was no foul play involved and that their union had simply ‘run its course.
‘Joshua is heartbroken over the impending divorce, he always thought that he would be married and grow old with his family, and everything would be happily ever after,’ the insider said. ‘He had the dream scenario in his mind, and Jodie was his person and the person he thought he would be with forever.’
The source added that Joshua’s primary concern is his young child, as the Canadian actor now looks ahead to a life of co-parenting.
‘He never wanted this for their daughter,’ the insider continued. ‘They both are great parents and will continue to be, he just hates that they won’t be together as a couple for their daughter anymore. They will always be connected through her.’

The source said Jackson ‘would have loved nothing more than to still be with Jodie and in a perfect world would probably even take her back if she were to stop the divorce, but now that they have got to this place, he is going to have to accept it.’
Joshua gushed about Jodie to E! News in September 2022.
‘She is undeniably one of the most beautiful women on the planet,’ he said. ‘And she always smashes it when she’s on the red carpet. That is truly a wonder to behold.’
He added, ‘But I will tell you, that there is nothing like waking up in the morning, opening my eyes and seeing her face in the morning.’
The actress previously revealed their romance started as a one-night stand. ‘When I first met my husband, we had a one-night stand,’ she shared on Late Night With Seth Meyers. ‘We’re in a two, three-year one-night stand now,’ she joked
