That being said! A few weeks after Joshua and Jodie filed for divorce, he and Lupita sparked dating rumors when they were spotted with friends at a Janelle Monáe concert in Inglewood, California.
That same day, Lupita publicly confirmed her split with musician and sports commentator Selema Masekela on her Instagram Stories. 👀

“I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception,” she wrote per People. “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.” Lupita had been romantically linked to Selema since December 2022.
