‘Fumbled Lori Harvey’: Damson Idris and Lori Harvey Appear Unbothered At Dinner Days After Michael B. Jordan Joked About His Breakup with the Model

Lori Harvey and her new beau, Damson Idris, are still going strong.

Rumors about the pair dating began circulating back in December, ahead of Christmas, when they were caught leaving dinner together. Confirmation that they were indeed an item came when Idris shared photos to his Instagram Story celebrating Harvey’s 26th birthday in January. After taking a glance at the socialite wrapped in the arms of the British actor, there was no denying that things are more than platonic between the two.

The new couple were recently spotted in West Hollywood after leaving a dinner date on Feb. 1. Thus far, it seems as though the “Snow Fall” star and his new love interest are making an effort to keep their relationship low-key. The Daily Mail managed to snag the photos that showed the duo dressed down in casual attire.

“Lori Harvey and Damson Idris back outside,” wrote one fan on Twitter.

Another said, “I can’t believe Lori Harvey gets to have Damson all to herself.”

A third added, “look at Michael B Jordan, fumbled Lori Harvey.”

The public outings came days after Harvey’s ex-boyfriend, Michael B. Jordan, made his hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live.” The “Without Remorse” actor has opted to remain tight-lipped about the failed romance in the month following their split. However, he finally addressed the breakup during his opening monologue.

“I just directed my very first movie, ‘Creed III.’ Right after that, I went through my very first public breakup,” said Jordan. “Now, most people after a breakup are like, ‘I’m gonna get in better shape.’ But I was already in ‘Creed’ shape, so I had to be like, ‘I guess I’ll learn a new language.’ Anyway, estoy en Raya,” he said while seemingly joking about being on the member-only dating app that caters to celebrities.

The former couple’s split was announced in June of last year. Jordan and the SKN founder were together for over a year and had fans smitten with their PDA-filled romance on Instagram. While on the “SNL” stage, the 35-year-old also addressed the now infamous photo of him sitting courtside at a 2022 NBA Finals game.

“After the breakup, everyone thought I was so heartbroken because when the news came out, I was at a basketball game and they caught me looking like this,” he said before showing a photo of the viral meme. “Look, I was just chillin’. But that internet decided that that was me being sad.”

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.
