Lori Harvey Lets Her Bikini Do the Talking When It Comes to Tamping Down Pregnancy Rumors

Just two days after images surfaced of Lori Harvey that ignited rumors she was expecting rumored boyfriend Diddy’s baby, the model has firmly put the claims to rest.

Harvey is reportedly vacationing solo in a mystery tropical location, and she took the time on Tuesday to pose in a Christian Dior denim bikini that nixed any chatter of pregnancy.

The 22-year-old modeled a matching denim bucket hat and a sheer blue sarong while standing on a jacuzzi deck. An ocean view and palm trees filled the background behind her.

But while the view was stunning, fans were more focused on the model’s figure and they took note that there was no baby bump in sight.

“Word is u having diddy’s baby 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣 guess NOT lol”

“Not pregnant?”

“This is that I’m not pregnant picture”

“Damn you killed those pregnancy rumors sis 🔥”

The initial photos in question were snapped by paparazzi Sunday as Harvey and her 49-year-old rumored boyfriend were heading back to the U.S. from Cabo San Lucas. Along the way, Harvey, sporting a billowy white button-up shirt, stopped and Diddy paused to rub her belly. The images immediately got people talking, believing the gesture meant Steve Harvey‘s stepdaughter was bound to become a mother.

Fans quickly let their judgment fly.

“I literally think this is disgusting 😕😤🤐”

“Talk about acting like a woman but thinking like a man 👀👏🏾👏🏾”

“This trifling! On both parts!”

And others felt that if Lori were expecting, it would simply be a way for Diddy to get even with his ex-girlfriend Cassie. After dating the Bad Boy Records CEO for a decade, the “Me & U” singer became pregnant by her now-fiancé Alex Fine in the months since breaking up with Diddy for good.

“He’s so bothered by Cassie 😂. He knew y’all were out there. #DesperateMove”

“If Cassie’s gonna have a baby, so will Diddy.. the competition is fierce! 🤣🤣🤣”

“So Cassie got pregnant and he had to hurry up and get Lori pregnant lol”

Diddy and Lori have been dating at least since March when the model was seen right behind the mogul as they were filmed in Miami at a live reggae concert. Since then, the two have yet to confirm their relationship. Yet they’ve been seen getting increasingly cozy as they were openly affectionate on a trip to Italy with Lori’s parents and showing the ultimate sign of coupledom — sporting matching outfits — in July.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
