Why Lupita adopted a cat
In October 2023, Lupita experienced a heartbreaking breakup with her then-boyfriend, Selema Masekela. The sudden end of their one-year relationship left Lupita searching for ways to heal and move forward.
It was during this difficult time that she decided to adopt a pet, something she had never considered before.
Lupita admitted that she was not always a pet person and had historically been afraid of cats. However, three days into adopting Yoyo, she found herself loving the experience and the companionship that the little feline brought into her life.
