Joshua Jackson makes it beach-official with Lupita Nyong'o months after Jodie Turner-Smith split

Canadian actor Joshua Jackson announced his split from wife Jodie Turner-Smith in October, around the same time that Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o announced her breakup from boyfriend Selema Masekela.

Romance rumours between the two broken hearts have been sparking for months, but now it seems the pair have gone “beach official” (yes we made that up!). Joshua and Lupita were just spotted smooching, holding hands, and laughing together on a beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and their chemistry positively sizzled.

The 12 Years A Slave star was born in Mexico, so it stands to reason she must feel right at home on its sandy shores and under its warm sun. However, Dawson’s Creek alum Joshua is Canadian, so we love that she took him by the hand to lead him into her native waters as they frolicked on the beach.

According to an eyewitness who spotted the famous celebs on the beach, "They looked madly in love, like they just couldn't get enough of one another," per E! News.

The outlet reports that Joshua and Lupita were first spotted together seeming rather flirty at an LA Janelle Monae concert back in October after their respective breakups were announced.

These spicy and saucy pics of the pair come just a week after we reported on Jodie Turner-Smith finally breaking her silence on her split from Joshua.  

“Sometimes things we really want to work just don't end up working,” she told The Sunday Times. “And that's okay. 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?’” 

She continued, “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,” she added. “We obviously had such a beautiful moment together. And now it's time for a new moment for both of us. And how exciting!”

We think after looking at these photos of Joshua and Lupita together, this new moment for him is definitely exciting.
