With her ascending age, Nyong'o does face the pressure to get married, have a husband, and have kids.
In an interview with Vogue in September 2015, she recalled her recent visit to her home country, Kenya.
And as per her accounts, she was driving around with her mother when her mom pointed out a school and stated it was suitable for children.
Nyong'o implied that her parents, especially her mother Dorothy, wanted her to have a husband and children.
But she remarked that it "will all be determined when I have that moment." Nyong'o noted she would consider having kids only after having a man worthy of being her husband.
As of this writing, Nyong'o seemingly hasn't found a perfect partner. Her socials are void of any information about her boyfriend or dating life.
Her only confirmed relationship that has ever made it to the internet is with Somali-Canadian rapper K'naan. The duo was reportedly dating in 2014.
After Nyong'o won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, they were spotted celebrating the milestone together. Her boyfriend even posed for pictures with her statuette a day after the event.
However, their relationship ended the same year, and neither of them revealed the reason behind their split.
