Written by . Published: August 27 2016

Lupita Nyong'o has been quietly dating GQ Style fashion editor Mobolaji Dawodu.

The 33-year-old star, who won an Oscar for her role in 12 Years a Slave in 2013, has been in a relationship with the style guru for six months, according to a friend of Dawodu.



Lupita and her new beau were introduced through mutual friends in the fashion world, Us Weekly reports.


The Kenyan-raised actress shares his passion for fashion, posing for Miu Miu and Tiffany & Co., while her red carpet choices have always been on point.


She has yet to comment on the new romance, but Dawodu, who has a young daughter from a previous relationship, shared a sweet snap of the pair back in June (16), when the couple embraced for the camera while wearing co-ordinated denim and orange-coloured outfits.


His friend told Us Weekly, "He's discreetly told people they are dating."
