Michael B. Jordan’s Current Relationship Status (2025)
Michael B. Jordan emphasized being very work-focused and said he’s not “tripping” over his past relationships. Entertainment outlets have likewise reported that, months after his high-profile 2022 breakup, Jordan remained single and was not in any confirmed relationship.
Jordan himself has hinted at the challenges of dating while managing a booming career. In a March 2024 podcast interview, he admitted to feeling “lonely” at times being single, as juggling his acting, directing, and producing responsibilities can be isolating. He reflected on going “back and forth between wanting partnership” and focusing on himself, indicating that he’s open to love but waiting for the right timing.
For now, Michael B. Jordan seems content prioritizing his projects and personal growth, and any new romance would have to fit into “the flow” of his life.
Michael B. Jordan’s Dating History
Despite keeping his private life fairly low-key, Michael B. Jordan has been linked to several women over the years, ranging from models to fellow celebrities. Here’s a timeline of his past relationships and rumored romances, including confirmed ex-girlfriends and notable flings:
Catherine Paiz (2014) – Early in his career, Jordan was linked to model and social media personality Catherine Paiz. In January 2014, they were photographed looking cozy together on a Miami beach, according to People. The two never publicly confirmed the relationship, but those beach photos spoke volumes at the time. (Paiz later married YouTuber Austin McBroom, but fans still recall her brief connection with Jordan.)
Kendall Jenner (2015) – In May 2015, Jordan sparked dating rumors with model Kendall Jenner after they were spotted leaving a Met Gala afterparty around the same time. The sighting caused a frenzy online (some fans even reacted negatively) but Michael later clarified the situation. He told GQ that Kendall was “a friend” and that he didn’t see “white and black” the way some critics did. In other words, he downplayed the romance speculation and emphasized they were not seriously dating.
Ashlyn Castro (2017–2018) – Around late 2017, Jordan reportedly began seeing Ashlyn Castro, an Instagram model. They were spotted partying together – including a much-discussed sighting in St. Tropez where they danced closely at a club – which led to the “rumored girlfriend” label. According to Who’s Dated Who, Michael and Ashlyn dated for a few months into early 2018. Neither spoke publicly about the relationship, but their public PDA suggested it was more than just a fling.
Saweetie (2017) – The actor was also linked to rapper Saweetie in late 2017. While this was never confirmed by Jordan himself, outlets reported they spent time together. In fact, fan-curated dating timelines suggest Michael and Saweetie had a brief romance from about November 2017 to January 2018. This short-lived connection flew under the radar (Saweetie wasn’t yet the superstar she would become), and both moved on quietly.
Kiki Layne (2019) – In January 2019, Jordan was spotted getting flirty with actress Kiki Layne (known for If Beale Street Could Talk) at a Sundance Film Festival after-party. An onlooker told PEOPLE that “Michael and Kiki were super flirty all night” and spent a lot of time together. They even left the venue one after the other, sparking talk of a possible romance. However, neither Kiki nor Michael ever confirmed a relationship, so it remained a rumored dalliance.
Cindy Bruna (2019) – A few months later, in May 2019, Jordan was seen out on a dinner date with model Cindy Bruna in New York City. Paparazzi caught them at the celebrity hotspot Carbone. Around that time, eagle-eyed fans noticed Michael had been liking many of Cindy’s Instagram posts, adding fuel to the fire. Despite the buzz, this pairing also was never officially acknowledged by Jordan – it seems to have been a brief spark that didn’t turn into a long-term relationship.
Snoh Aalegra (2019) – In December 2019, Michael B. Jordan made a steamy cameo in R&B singer Snoh Aalegra’s music video for her song “Whoa,” in which the two shared a passionate kiss. This on-screen chemistry immediately had fans wondering if there was an off-screen romance. Jordan gushed about Snoh’s talent during interviews (“I’m a big fan. Her album’s awesome” he told Extra but both insisted it was just professional. No public confirmation of dating came, so this was likely just a flirtation for the cameras – though it certainly got people talking.
Lori Harvey (2020–2022) – Michael’s most public and serious relationship to date has been with Lori Harvey, the model and entrepreneur daughter of Steve Harvey. (More on Lori in the next section.) Michael and Lori dated for about a year and a half, from late 2020 until mid-2022, and he was very open about this relationship compared to his prior ones. This romance was the one that Jordan took public on Instagram and red carpets, marking a new level of openness for him. Their eventual breakup in June 2022 was confirmed by multiple sources and was described as amicable yet heart-breaking. (We’ll dive into the details of their relationship and split below.)
Michael B. Jordan & Lori Harvey
Michael B. Jordan’s relationship with Lori Harvey was a standout because it was the first time he openly shared his love life with the world. Lori Harvey, a model and skincare entrepreneur (founder of SKN by LH), is also known as the daughter of TV host Steve Harvey. She and Michael became an “it couple” on social media for a time, so let’s recap who she is and their relationship timeline:
How they met and went public: Michael and Lori were first spotted together just before Thanksgiving 2020, when they were photographed arriving in Atlanta (Lori’s hometown) – sparking dating rumors. Sure enough, over the next few months the relationship blossomed. On January 10, 2021, they went Instagram official, each posting cute couple photos on their accounts. Fans were thrilled to see Jordan, who had been private about romance before, openly celebrating his new girlfriend. “I’m extremely happy,” he told PEOPLE in April 2021, explaining that at his age he was more comfortable sharing a bit about his love life.
Throughout 2021, the pair shared adoring social media tributes and made public appearances together, including a much-photographed red-carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2022. They celebrated their one-year anniversary in November 2021, complete with affectionate Instagram posts. By all accounts, Michael and Lori seemed very much in love and serious about each other during this period. Jordan even rented out an aquarium for a private Valentine’s Day dinner – a grand romantic gesture that made headlines.
The breakup: In June 2022, fans were shocked when news broke that Michael and Lori had split after ~18 months together. A source close to the couple confirmed to PEOPLE that they had broken up, and that “Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken… They still love each other.” It was reported as an amicable separation without drama. Insiders said Jordan had “matured a lot” during the relationship and was ready for long-term commitment, even “letting down his guard” emotionally with Lori.
However, at 25, may not have been on the same page about settling down. A source close to Harvey revealed that she “wasn’t ready to commit” and was very focused on her career at that time. The couple apparently realized they weren’t aligned on plans for the future, leading to the difficult decision to part ways.
Both handled the split with respect. They quietly deleted social media photos of each other, but neither bad-mouthed the other. In fact, when Michael B. Jordan hosted Saturday Night Live in January 2023 shortly after the breakup, he addressed it with humor – calling it his “very first public breakup.” He jokingly announced that he was now on the dating app Raya and even quipped, “Michael B. Jordan is single” during the SNL monologue. It was a light-hearted way to acknowledge the split. Later, in interviews, Jordan reflected on the relationship as a growth experience: “It was an experience for me to grow and learn,” he said, choosing to focus on the positive takeaways.
Lori Harvey, for her part, also moved on graciously. (More on her current status next.) Both she and Jordan expressed nothing but respect for one another post-breakup. Steve Harvey even commented that while he was “Team Lori, 1000%,” he still thought Michael was a “cool guy” and wished him well – basically, no hard feelings.
Why was this relationship so public? For Michael, dating Lori Harvey marked a turning point – she was the first girlfriend he featured on his Instagram. He explained that reaching his 30s (and perhaps feeling secure in the relationship) made him more comfortable sharing: it was a moment of “wanting to put it out there and move on,” he told PEOPLE, suggesting he didn’t want it to be a secret burden. Lori being a public figure herself likely made it easier to be open. They were a high-profile couple, gracing events together and garnering headlines as “#couplegoals.” This is why Lori is often the first name people think of regarding Michael B. Jordan’s love life – their romance was both genuine and very visible.

Lori Harvey’s Current Relationship Status (2025)
Is She Engaged to Someone Else?
After her breakup with Michael B. Jordan, Lori Harvey’s dating life also drew interest. So, who is Lori Harvey engaged to (if anyone)? As of 2025, Lori Harvey is not engaged to anyone. Here’s what we know about her recent relationship status:
In the wake of the split from Jordan, Lori Harvey began dating actor Damson Idris (star of Snowfall). They went public in early 2023 – Idris posted a cozy photo of them in January 2023 for Lori’s birthday, effectively confirming the romance. For much of 2023, Lori and Damson were seen together at events (he even attended her 26th birthday bash and they took a vacation with her family in the summer).
However, by late 2023, reports surfaced that this relationship had ended. In November 2023, Lori and Damson confirmed their breakup after about one year of dating, saying in a joint statement that they “decided to go their separate ways” to focus on their individual paths, while remaining friends who have love and respect for each other. The split appeared amicable, with the two removing photos of each other on Instagram as a sign that the romance had run its course.
Following the split from Damson Idris, Lori has not announced any new relationship or engagement. There were no credible reports of her being engaged to anyone in 2024. Thus, entering 2025, Lori Harvey is single (at least publicly) and certainly not engaged to be married. If anything, she seems focused on her career (modeling and her skincare brand) and enjoying her mid-20s.
It’s worth noting that Lori Harvey has been engaged once before in the past. According to People, at just 20 years old, she got engaged to Dutch soccer player Memphis Depay in June 2017. Her father Steve Harvey publicly congratulated her on the engagement at the time. However, that engagement did not lead to a wedding. Lori and Depay eventually split (she was seen without her ring in 2018).
Reflecting on it later, Lori said that almost getting married so young made her realize she hadn’t fully experienced life or figured out what she truly wanted. “I felt like I hadn’t really experienced anything,” she explained of her decision not to settle down at that age. After that, she embraced dating “on my terms,” ensuring she wouldn’t compromise her values or settle for less than what she deserved. This insight into Lori’s mindset gives context to why, with Michael B. Jordan, she ultimately wasn’t ready to rush into a long-term commitment.
In summary, Lori Harvey is not currently engaged. She enjoyed a high-profile romance with Damson Idris after Michael, but as of late 2023 they have split. Now in 2025, Lori appears to be unattached. If you were curious whether wedding bells were ringing for her – the answer is no, not at the moment.
