Lupita Nyong'o, a Kenyan-Canadian actress, split up with TV broadcaster Selema Masekela.

Less than a year after making their romance official, the "Black Panther" actress declared on her Instagram account on Thursday night that she and the American sports pundit are no longer together.

The actor, 40, blamed "deception" as the cause of their split.

It is vital for me to communicate a personal reality and publicly disassociate myself from someone I can no longer trust, she wrote in a lengthy Instagram post that included, among other things, the quote.

I'm going through a difficult time right now because of a love that was cruelly and unexpectedly destroyed by deceit.
