‘It Ain’t Even Been 2 Weeks Yet’: Michael B. Jordan Declares His Love for Lori Harvey

It has been a little over a month since Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey went Instagram official with their relationship. Some may say that a month is not enough time to be dropping the “L” word on someone, but apparently Jordan does not share the same sentiments.

On Thursday, Feb. 18, Jordan posted two photos of himself and Harvey dressed to impress. The 34-year-old wore a black suit and matching shirt and tie, while Lori went for a more dazzling look. She wore a long and shiny silver embellished Atelier Zuhra dress matched with a pair of clear Amina Muaddi heels. It is not clear where the two were going for the evening but in the first photo, Jordan looks like a gentleman as he walks with Harvey with her arm locked in his. In the second, the 24-year-old smiles big while Jordan fixes her hair for the photo.

But after looking past their beautiful photos many were in disbelief after what they saw in Jordan’s caption. He wrote four simple words, “I love you baby 🤍🖤,” that had fans wondering how they fell for each other so quickly.

One person wrote, “It ain’t even been 2 weeks yet lol,” and another said, “LOVVVVVEEEEEE ?!?!?!?!? soulja boy voice,” mimicking the viral moment when Soulja Boy said “Drakeeee” in a “Breakfast Club” interview.

Some people were even questioning the authenticity of the relationship. One person said, “They trying too hard. It makes it look fake lol.” Someone else had similar thoughts, writing, “Until I see them kiss on the lips it’s gone always be a publicity stunt for me.”

Harvey uploaded two different pictures from the same night but captioned her photo “All smiles 🥰.” However, she did profess her love back to the “Creed” actor in his comments where she wrote, “I love youuuuuu 🥰.”

Although the two did not confirm their relationship to the world until last month, they have been actually seeing each other for a few months longer than that. It was last Thanksgiving when rumors began to spark that the two were dating. They were seen wearing gray hoodies and masks while getting off an airplane together in Harvey’s hometown, Atlanta.

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
