Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey could have been one of the biggest A-list power couples in the world. MBJ has plans to become the next Denzel/Will Smith and he’s well on his way. Lori is renowned for being beautiful and for being a catch. Lori slays guys – she’s the one loving and leaving, she’s never the one who gets left. And so it is with this relationship. Lori and MBJ got together in October/November 2020. They’ve likely been on the outs for a couple of months, but nothing was official until this weekend. I’m surprised… but also not. Lori really does love ‘em and leave ‘em.
Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey have called it quits. The A Journal for Jordan actor, 35, and Harvey, 25, have broken up after dating for a year and a half, a source close to the couple confirms to PEOPLE.
“Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken,” the source says. “They still love each other.”
“Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time,” adds the source. “They had great times together and brought out the best in each other.”
A representative for Jordan could not be reached for comment. Reps for Harvey did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
If you want to read between the lines, the message is… MBJ was ready to settle down. He had changed for her, he had grown up, he bought a big house and dreamt of asking Lori to live with him and probably even considered proposing. TMZ’s sources are basically saying that, that Michael was in it for the long haul and Lori “didn’t necessarily want the same thing as him.” He’s 35, she’s 25. She might have felt like “why would I settle down at this moment of my life?” And to emphasize how she was the one who left, Lori already deleted all photos of Michael from her Instagram. This girl is such a baller, my God. I am sick with envy.

Sis needs to teach this masterclass. I’ll be right in front taking copious notes.
She might be copying her mother’s playbook of always marrying/dating up.
Kinda reminds me of when Blake Lively dumped Leo. Respect to her! She’s 25. No need to settle before you are ready.
But also……who’s more “up” than MBJ? Like I can’t even think of another young, hot, A lister who has the reputation of being a legit nice guy…I’m curious what they both do next!
Oh please, this was one of THE biggest fauxmance in hollyweird……The breakup is no surprise. MBJ “got with” Lori just when he was being “criticized” for not being into women of color allegedly. The relationship was all PR from the word go!
I kinda feel this as well. The whole thing seemed very performative and both of them looked like they were showing off what a catch they caught. I don’t know much about her but he seems really into his career and the art of cinema. She doesn’t seem like she does much so I doubt they had a lot to talk about.
It will however be very interesting to see who SHE dates next.
She never seemed genuine. She is just another Kim K in the early days going from one to the other. Can’t wait to see who is next. I could care less that they broke up.
I’m reading FULL ON DRAMA through these lines. If they still love each other and just want different things in life, I think there is no rush to have him deleted completly from her social media that fast. What i’m reading is Michael made a huge mistake (cheating??), tried to apologize, realizes he’s grown a lot and is now ready to settle down with Lori. But Lori couldnt accept that Michael was such an a-hole, couldnt forgive him, how dare you, they had trial separation and during that time Lori realized how good she was without him so made it official that they’ve split and deleted him from her life in a flash. Gurl was prepared to let go. Voilà!
I got the exact same read! If you’re the one who leaves, all your decision/amicable etc, you’re not the person deleting all the photos, pronto. I believe she called it off but it’s not because she wasn’t ready to commit. This is Michael’s PR pushing this narrative about how’s he’s changed. Changed from what?? The wording is so telling.
Yeah, no shade here. She’s 25 – good for her for recognising that’s pretty young to settle down and/or recognising he wasn’t the one. And for Michael, better that he isn’t married to someone who’s not wholeheartedly ‘in’.
Our society has a tendency to treat break ups like they are always a bad thing. I’d argue it’s far worse to be inside the wrong relationship.
“Our society has a tendency to treat break ups like they are always a bad thing. I’d argue it’s far worse to be inside the wrong relationship.” —- Exactly!!!!
Some women, can you believe that, women, who were complaining that Lori can’t seem to keep a man; is a trophy or does any woman get a price when she keeps one? it is amazing how some women were raised or view the society they live in
I am like go Lori; no need to settle if you aren’t ready; all the best to both!
Good for her! She’s young with a thriving career. She doesn’t need to settle down until she is ready. There is nothing wrong with being single or just dating.
Ugh to that phrase ‘Keep a man’. It’s annoying. Stop assigning worth to a woman based on who she is dating! And half the guys she dated weren’t even men they were f*ckbois! And they needed to be cut loose!
That’s sad, they were probably taught that nothing is more important than marriage and popping out kids before you hit 30. Meanwhile Lori is living her best life happy as can be while those women are miserable.
Heck yes! When I was in my 20s in a PhD program, I had one or two relationships that could maybe lead to marriage…but I bowed out early on. I knew that marriage to these particular men who were pursuing their career meant I couldn’t pursue my dream of becoming a professor. NO REGRETS! And I am a professor! Teaching at my late dad’s alma mater!
Agreed on all points, The Hench.
A 35 year old man had to “grow up and mature” for a 25 year old woman? Yikes. I’m not surprised she broke up with him, sounds like a project
I think he was still living at home with his parents so that could be it
His parents lived with him, but yes.
When you’re rich as hell, I don’t think living with your parents is the same as it is for us poors. If you have an entire wing of a house to yourself, it’s not like you’re all in each other’s business.
I was thinking this exact same thing. That sentence tells you all you need to know.
“Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken,” the source says. “They still love each other.”
This part of the article was so funny. They both are so “heartbroken” and still in “love” that she deleted all the pictures of him on her Instagram. Lol
Yea, we can all read through that PR bullshit about not ascribing blame. He messed up big time and is now cancelled. She takes no prisoners.
Been there, done that.
I guess when she talked about shedding that relationship weight, she really meant it.
She left because he was not good for her image- literally!
😂😂😂
She was too young for him anyways.
lol deleting photos of an ex on social media with lightning speed is such a glorious power move.
yes babes don’t feel pressure to go where you’re not ready to go yet.
anyway, wish ’em both well 🙂
The arrangement has come to an end.
Fin.
Yes, she really is a boss. She really did leave Future first (he usually does the leaving first) and he accused her of getting with a friend of his, so he boo-hooed a little about that. To that, I give a standing ovation. She slayed and left (and did NOT have another of his many, many children). Take care of you first, Lori. I know you do.
Lori, girl TEACH US!!!
Deleting photos is usually something done in anger. So did he cheat? I believe she left him, but not amicably.
Emily, she deleted all her old, pre-surgery/weight loss photos from the internet, too. I don’t see her as necessarily angry, just cleaning the slate for whoever/whatever comes next.
Word on the street a couple weeks ago was that he cheated…if he did than good for her for demanding her respect and writing her own narrative. If he did not, and they grew apart realized they wanted different things than good for them that they both realized it before they got in way too deep
