How Did Steve Harvey Really Feel About His Daughter Lori Harvey Dating Michael B. Jordan?

Lauded as People’s “Sexiest Man of the Year,” Michael B. Jordan was perhaps Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor. So when Lori Harvey took him off the market in November 2020, it was almost too good to be true. They gave fans a peek into their relationship — from sizzling vacation pics to adorable ski trips. While many celebrity couples are accused of having “PR relationships,” Steve Harvey set the record straight about the genuine nature of his daughter’s romance.

“It threw me off at first because he was so kind,” Steve recalled of his first impression of Jordan (via Entertainment Tonight). “You know, I figure, ‘OK, this is the game right?’ But it wasn’t, man, this dude was sincere and he’s proven to be a really, really good, good guy. I’m pulling for him, you know, for them.”

But when asked if he would give Jordan his blessing to marry Lori on “Today with Hoda & Jenna,” Steve said no outright (per NBC). Jordan is a decade older than Lori, and while Steve wasn’t ready to marry her off, he held out hope for the “Black Panther” actor. “He’s just a good guy … I don’t speak publicly about this type of stuff, but I’m happy for my daughter right now. I really am,” Steve admitted to People. “It’s the first time I’ve been happy for her [in a relationship].”
