As celebrities Michael B Jordan and Lori Harvey appeared to have confirmed their relationship through pictures on Instagram, the internet can't keep calm. The lovebirds took to their respective social media profiles and fondly uploaded pictures with each other on Monday. Black Panther star Jordan and Harvey, prominently known as comedian Steve Harvey's daughter, were spotted together last year during the holidays sparking rumours of an alleged relationship. With pictures, the two seemed to have made it official!
Here are five things to know about Lori Harvey:
1. Lori Harvey, 24, is the daughter of noted American comedian and Family Feud host Steve Harvey, whom he adopted through marriage to his third wife Marjorie Bridges. The young actor has caught global attention for posting pictures with rumoured partner Michael B Jordan, thereby reportedly making their relationship official.
2. Harvey is a model and well-known social media star. She boasts 2.5 million followers on Instagram, often sharing snaps from her fashion shoots. She has in the past collaborated with luxe brands like Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, and Calvin Klein on fashion campaigns. Her recent picture with Jordan, which has gone viral, shows a couple of polaroid style shots with him, and a heart in the caption.
3. 33-year-old Jordan, meanwhile, posted two low-light pictures with Harvey, and a caption that read "I see you!" According to Entertainment Tonight, buzz around the celebrity couple first emerged when the two arrived at Atlanta airport, where the Harveys are based, around Thanksgiving 2020. They were photographed in Salt Lake City again later around New Year's.
4. Harvey even uses her social media reach for activism, having posted about the Black Lives Matter movement in the past. In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder and during Breonna Taylor's #SayHerName campaign, Harvey had joined netizens in demanding justice for the two Black victims and action against racism. "This is not the system I want my nieces and nephews to grow up in. This is not the world I want them to live in," she wrote.

When asked about his daughter's dating status and history, Steve Harvey had pointedly stayed out of this discussion. "I don’t know nothing about it," he had said.
