‘He Looks Like Steve Harvey’: Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan Share a Smooch on Social Media, Fans Are Distracted By Jordan’s Mustache

Michael B. Jordan has the fans doing a double take after his girlfriend Lori Harvey posted a video of the two of them on vacation.

Jordan and Harvey decided to take a nice getaway to celebrate their July Fourth. Although they did not specifically say where they were, Harvey, 24, shared a little peek of the area that revealed that they were on a beautiful beach. But that’s not all. The couple also shared a kiss on social media for the first time.

Since they aren’t as prolific about posting about their relationship as some celebrity couples, when Jordan and Harvey do post photos and videos together fans are usually very excited. However, for this particular video, they were too distracted by Michael B. Jordan’s mustache. There were two reasons the mustache caused a distraction. One, fans believed it was too thick, and, two, they believed it made him resemble Harvey’s stepfather, Steve Harvey, too much.

“Bruh he look like steve harvey wit that stache thats weird,” wrote one fan. Another said, “I can’t tell if she kissed his mustache or lips🤔.” Someone else wrote, “He being around steve harvey too much.”

Since this is their first time kissing on camera, fans debunked it as dispassionate because Lori was holding and looking at the camera the entire time they kissed. “Anytime somebody looks at the camera rather than have their eyes closed or looking at their partner, it’s not genuine.”

People have been questioning the authenticity of Harvey and the “Creed” actor’s union since their relationship began. Jordan addressed rumors about his relationship being a facade in his interview with Men’s Health back in March. The 34-year-old said, “I can’t do anything about that, and I’ve just got to accept that and keep moving in my purpose. People that know me know my heart. But people that know me for my work … they know what I allow them to know.”

It still hasn’t been confirmed when they officially decided to date, but they were first caught by paparazzi getting off the same airplane around Thanksgiving. After being seen out a few more times together, Harvey and Jordan publicly confirmed their relationship a few days after the start of the year with a cute post on social media.

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.
