‘They’re Definitely My Couple Goals’: Lori Harvey Says She Wants a Love Like Her Parents Steve and Marjorie Weeks Following Her Breakup with Michael B. Jordan

Lori Harvey, newly single following her recent breakup with Michael B. Jordan, said in a new interview with Us Weekly that she aspires to have a love like her stepfather and mother, Steve and Marjorie Harvey. 

Steve and Marjorie began dating in 2005, and tied the knot two years later, on June 25, 2007. The pair also has a blended family of seven children and several grandchildren.

On June 24, Lori, 25, told the outlet that the couple is “goals” in her eyes after sharing a story of her mother, Marjorie, getting a gift for Steve for their wedding anniversary.

She said, “They’re definitely my couple goals. I literally was just talking to my mom on the phone earlier and she was telling me what she got my dad for their anniversary tomorrow and I’m like, ‘Wow, you guys are literally goals.’ This is what I want one day.”

The SKN by LH CEO continued, “They have the best love, they’re so supportive of me and, you know, just always here for me, whatever I need. So they’re great. I love them.”

Lori wrapped up the interview by saying the many factors that attributed to Steve and Marjorie being a successful couple are strong communication skills, “being on the same page,” and the ability to maintain a friendship “after so many years.”

She said, “Their biggest thing I think is making communication key. Being on the same page. Like maintaining a friendship.”

Lori added, “Still liking each other after so many years because of course the love is always going to be there but being able to be like, ‘I really like this person, I like hanging out with them, I have a good time with them. I can laugh and just kick it and hang out.’ That’s really important.”

Lori’s comments come weeks after news outlets confirmed her breakup with actor Michael B. Jordan. Lori and Michael were together for over a year. The reason behind the split allegedly was that the model didn’t want to settle down.

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.
