‘Steve is Pissed’: Steve Harvey Breaks His Silence on Stepdaughter Lori Harvey Dating Future

Since news broke Lori Harvey was allegedly dating rapper Future, fans wondered what her stepfather and “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” author Steve Harvey’s thoughts were.

Over the past year, Lori has been linked to several high-profile entertainers, including Diddy, his son Justin Combs, Trey Songz, and now the “Mask Off” rapper.

While in Los Angeles this week, the “Kings of Comedy” actor was approached by the Hollywood Fix and asked his thoughts about his stepdaughter being romantically involved with Future. The comedian gave a brief response, replying, “I don’t know nothing about that.”

It’s not clear if Steve doesn’t approve of the 22-year-old’s dating choices or if he’s unfamiliar with the rumor. Either way, social media users chimed in on Steve’s comment.

“I know he mad asf his daughter dating the most best toxic rapper ever 💀 look at how his face changed lmao”

“Man he wasn‘t happy after that future question if I was him I wouldn’t be 😂 he doesn’t wanna talk about it”

“Yep Steve is pissed at Lori for dating Future. You can tell how he responded he ain’t with it”

Lori and Future seemingly confirmed their romance in November after they were spotted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, together, perhaps for a romantic getaway. Future also shared an unaccompanied picture of the model posing in all-black attire with the caption: “Flawless. Tap for details.”

Dating rumors first surrounded Future and Lori after they were allegedly spotted “all over each other” at Teyana Taylor’s November concert in Atlanta. The 22-year-old was also spotted at his 36th birthday party on Nov. 20.

They were most recently spotted together at a getaway in Montego Bay, Jamaica, for the model’s upcoming 23rd birthday on Jan. 13.

Lori was engaged to Dutch soccer star Memphis Depay in 2017, but they eventually called things off later that year. Future was engaged to singer Ciara from 2013 to 2014. The exes share one son, Future Zahir. He also has five children from five previous relationships.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
