Lupita Nyong'o and Boyfriend rapper K'Naan 

After her Oscar winning for her role in Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, Lupita Nyong'o is definitely Hollywood's new It Girl. 

Rumors of romance between Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong'o blossomed after Jared Leto called her his "future ex wife" during his Independent Spirit Awards acceptance speech. 

"When I read these rumors, they're so detailed that even I start to question whether they're true or not," Nyong'o joked on The Ellen Show. 

Sorry Jared Leto, Lupita Nyong'o is definitely taken! A source tells Us Weekly that the Kenya-raised actress, 31, has been dating Somali-born rapper K'Naan since September of 2013. 

The New York-based couple has bonded over their similar interests. "She loves his humanitarianism," says a pal of the "Wavin' Flag" singer, 36. "They'd both passionate about African issues."

K'Naan has two sons with pharmacy tech ex-wife Deqa Warsame. And the rapper's pal notes that Nyong'o and K'Naan are taking things slow.
