Forget the Oscars! Lupita Nyong’o had maybe the best birthday everrrrrr on Saturday, when she attended the Independent Spirit Awards. Not only did she win the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 12 Years A Slave, she also had Jared Leto refer to her as his 'future ex-wife' in* his* acceptance speech.
He may have been joking around when he thanked Beliebers and Baby Jesus after winning Best Supporting Actor for Dallas Buyers Club, but in our humble opinion there was definitely an element of genuine flirtation when he also thanked ‘my future ex-wife, I'm talking to you Lupita Nyong'o!’
The pair have been linked throughout this entire awards season, and Lupita herself joked about the rumours in a TV interview with Ellen DeGeneres saying, ‘I thought Miley Cyrus broke us up?’
Maybe they should just get together IRL? There’s nothing more the world loves than a gorgeous power couple.
