Joshua Jackson and his new girlfriend Lupita Nyong’o could not keep their hands off each other during their Mexican getaway this week.
The 45-year-old Dawson’s Creek alum and the 41-year-old Black Panther star were spotted putting on a loved-up display on a beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Lupita, who celebrated her birthday March 1, lovingly wrapped her arms around Joshua, who split from wife Jodie Turner-Smith last fall.
She was clad in an itty-bitty patterned thong bikini, showing off her slim and fit figure. Meanwhile, the father-of-one opted for dark-hued swimming trunks.
They shared a passionate embrace before smiling at each other then holding hands as they both appeared to be in top shape.

A source shared with E! News that the new A-list pair marked Lupita’s birthday with a celebration at their resort.
According to the insider, Joshua arranged for a large balloon display and bouquet of flowers to be set up in their hotel suite.
It was also reported that the two were seen enjoying the spoils of the resort, including a spa visit.
‘They looked madly in love, like they just couldn’t get enough of one another,’ someone who saw the duo said.
It comes after Nyong’o admitted she wants to keep her new relationship with Joshua out of the public eye after being burned in the past.
The Star Wars actress was open about the collapse of her relationship with ex Selema Masekela, describing it as ‘devastatingly extinguished by deception.’
She now insists she will be going back to the ‘old ways’ of keeping her love life private.
The beauty told Porter that keeping mum on her romances in the past ‘was very, very sage of me. I’m going back to those days, by the way.’

With her last relationship, Lupita hard-launched her then-boyfriend on Instagram, sharing a video with the hashtag #thisismylove.
Revealing her reason behind the December 2022 post, she said: ‘In my mind, when I shared my relationship status with the world, it was because I felt sure about it.’
Just 10 months later, Lupita revealed that their relationship had come to a sudden end and she posted a vulnerable announcement.
The heartbreaking prose detailed her vast pain and determination to ‘run into the shadows’ in the wake of the break-up, which came just hours before she was spotted putting on a cosy display with newly-single Joshua.
Her statement read: ‘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.

Turner-Smith cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ in her divorce filings as she made a bid to remove herself from her ‘unhealthy’ marriage with Joshua last October.
Weeks after she filed for divorce, the actor was photographed holding hands with Lupita, hours after it was confirmed they were dating.
Jodie recently spoke for the first time to the Sunday Times Style magazine about why her marriage ended.
‘Sometimes things we really want to work just don’t end up working. And that’s OK. The most important thing is that you choose what’s healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children. There are so many different moments in our life where we look at ourselves and say, “Who am I and am I being true to that?”
‘If the answer is no, then you have to make a move because I believe that there are visible scars from staying in places that are not good for us. And they don’t just affect us, they affect everybody around us. I don’t think it’s a failure. We obviously had such a beautiful moment together. And now it’s time for a new moment for both of us,’ she stated.
