Lupita Nyong’o recently celebrated the 3rd birthday of her beloved cat, Yoyo, with a touch of elegance and joy. The U.S.-based Kenyan actress marked the occasion by sharing photos on social media, where she looked radiant in a bright yellow dress and matching flower crown. The celebration featured a festive atmosphere, complete with a large gold ‘Happy Birthday’ banner, stars, and tiny, well-wrapped gifts, adding to the charm of the event.
In her caption, Lupita invited her followers to join in wishing Yoyo a happy birthday, showcasing the strong bond she shares with her feline companion. The post quickly garnered attention, with many fans joining in to wish Yoyo well and commenting on the special relationship between Lupita and her cat.
Lupita adopted Yoyo in October 2023 after a difficult breakup with her then-boyfriend, Selema Masekela. Initially not a pet person and historically afraid of cats, Lupita found comfort and companionship in Yoyo, which has since become an important part of her life. The adoption marked a positive turning point for her, helping her heal and move forward after the breakup.
Since then, Lupita has moved on and is currently dating actor Joshua Jackson. She recently starred in the highly anticipated horror film A Quiet Place: The Origin, which has received positive reviews.
