And despite the heartbreak she is feeling, Lupita also shared why she wanted to come forward with her feelings.
“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,'” she continued. “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 split news comes only two months after Lupita shared a birthday tribute to Selema.
“The Universe saw it fit to bring this Sunshine Human into my orbit, and this day marks his introduction to life,” she captioned an Aug. 28 Instagram post over a video montage of her and the TV host. “Every day is full of #goodenergy and reasons to dance with @selema as my favorite playmate. Happy Birthday, mi amor!”
