Lupita Nyong’o was all business last Wednesday during an appearance at the Dolphin Mall in support of her new animated movie, “The Wild Robot.”

Nyong’o stepped out in a white bodycon dress, all smiles.

But Hollywood watchers had to wonder: Where was boyfriend Joshua Jackson?

The couple first made headlines when they were photographed looking to be on a date at a Janelle Monae concert in October 2023.

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum was going through a divorce from “Bad Monkey” star Jodie Turner-Smith, Nyong’o had broken up with TV commentator Selema Masekela.

Turner-Smith, who shares a 4-year-old daughter with Jackson, gave her blessing to the pair.

“Good for them,” she told The Cut about her ex, 46, and the Oscar winner, 41. “We need happiness in order to peacefully co-parent. I’m trying to get us to the Gwyneth and Chris Martin level. I truly hope they’re happy and that it benefits us as a family.”

But they may not be as happy as they seem these days.

Because Jackson was nowhere to be seen at the Sweetwater theater appearance, spies tells us, and was just pictured Tuesday night by DeuxMoi with German model Nastassja Roberts at the premiere of Ryan Murphy’s “Grotesquerie” in NYC.

The doe-eyed hunk known forever to fans as Pacey Witter may now already know how to communicate with his friend in her native tongue, having dated German actress Diane Kruger for a decade.

On DeuxMoi’s Instagram post, a commenter asked what others may have been thinking already: “Is he done with Lupita?”

Others couldn’t help but notice that Jackson is turning into quite the Lothario.

“JJ is the modern-day George Clooney. How far he’s come since Capeside.”
