"She hasn't met his kids," the friend told Us Weekly.  

When USA TODAY's Elysa Gardner asked Lupita about a potential boyfriend and her dating life in February, her answer was: "I plead the Fifth!"

Whispers about who Lupita was dating also spiked when she didn't bring a boyfriend as her date to the Academy Awards 2014 - she brought her brother!

Rumors were also buzzing that Lupita was dating Jared Leto, the star of "The Dallas Buyers Club" and fellow Oscars 2014 winner for Best Supporting Actor. At the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards, Leto won Best Supporting Male trophy for his role as the transgender AIDS patient Rayon. During his acceptance speech, Jared Leto thanked, "my future ex-wife. Lupita, I'm thinking about you baby."

Us Weekly reports that Nyong'o later introduced Leto to her mother Dorothy Nyong'o.

But when "Extra's" Mario Lopez asked Lupita on the 2014 Oscars red carpet whether or not she was dating Jared, she said:  "I don't know how to get away from this!"

When asked if there was anyone special in her life, Lupita teased, "I'm not telling you."
