She's portrayed many love stories on stage and screen.

But according to new reports, Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o may have found a happy ending of her own.

The 12 Years A Slave actress, 33, has been dating GQ Style's Fashion Editor Mobolaji Dawodu for six months, according to Us Weekly.

Claims of a romance emerged when a supposed pal of Mobolaji's revealed the relationship to the publication, saying they had been introduced 'through mutual friends of the fashion world'.

The friend added that Mobolaji had 'discreetly told people they are dating'.

The stylish journalist added fuel to the speculation thanks to his Instagram page, on which he has posted numerous photos of the pair together, with one dating up to 35 weeks ago.

One selfie depicts the pair in a gloriously sunny holiday location, where they celebrated Christmas Eve together, according to the caption.
