‘Just Made Us All Smile’: Michael B. Jordan Returns to Social Media with First Personal Instagram Post Following His Split from Lori Harvey 

Posted byBy Diamond Jeune | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Michael B. Jordan fans rejoiced after the actor shared his first personal Instagram post following his split from Lori Harvey.

Jordan and Harvey, who dated for over a year, split in June. At the time, according to news outlets, the breakup resulted from the model’s refusal to settle down. Immediately after the announcement, the exes removed any trace of each other from their respective social media accounts.

Since then, although Harvey has heavily documented herself enjoying her life as a single woman, Jordan, on the other hand, did not. The “Creed” star strategically only shared promotional uploads on his Instagram page until Sept. 20. 

In the post, Jordan gave fans a view of his trip to Las Vegas by uploading an Instagram photo dump that included the various activities he participated in while in Sin City. A photo dump is a trend that features a collection of images and videos shared in a carousel post. 

Jordan’s upload featured the 35-year-old attending a boxing match with Saul Alvarez, a concert, a Las Vegas Raiders football game and multiple restaurants. In addition to the post, Jordan wrote the caption, “In n Out of vegas real quick.”

As fans viewed the upload, many expressed in the comments section how happy they were to see Jordan enjoying himself and smiling.  

“Dope to see you living and winning. Life is GREAT!!”

“Looks like you enjoyed yourself. I am so happy to see you smile and living your best life.”

“Yayyyyyy!!!! Seeing you smile and post just made us all smile.”

“WE ARE HERE FOR YOUR HAPPINESS.”

“Yessss King!! Live your best life.”

Among the previous remarks, others praised Jordan for officially making his return on Instagram. One wrote, “The king has returned.” Another wrote, “My boy back!!!!!!!!!!”

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.
