Since his beloved daughter, Lori Harvey, began publicly dating actor Michael B. Jordan, many have been curious about Steve Harvey’s reaction. Recently, Steve openly shared his thoughts on their relationship.

On The Steve Harvey Morning Show, Steve discussed his daughter’s boyfriend, the acclaimed actor known for his role in Black Panther. He expressed a mix of approval and protective wariness, saying, “I like this guy, but I will also pay attention to him.

I often tell the boys dating my daughters: I may like you, I may agree to let you know my daughter, but I still leave a space in my heart to hold ‘hate’ for you, just in case I need to use it.”

At 64, Steve Harvey maintains a vigilant stance, ready to confront Michael B. Jordan if his daughter gets hurt. He humorously but seriously added a message to the Creed star: “Because to me, you are not the sexiest man in the world. Remember that!”

Known for his deep love and respect for his children’s decisions, Steve Harvey has always supported Lori. Their close father-daughter relationship is well-regarded. Before Michael B. Jordan, Steve approved of Lori’s relationship with Dutch soccer player Memphis Depay. When Lori got engaged to Depay in 2017, Steve congratulated them on Twitter and praised Depay as a good guy.

Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey announced their relationship on January 11, after being seen together multiple times. A source told People that the couple prefers to keep their relationship private, avoiding undue attention and scrutiny. They are reportedly very happy, spending vacations together and enjoying each other’s company.

Born in 1987, Michael B. Jordan is a renowned actor in Hollywood, known for blockbusters like Black Panther, Fantastic Four, and Creed. In 2020, People magazine named him the “Sexiest Man Alive.” Lori Harvey, ten years his junior, is a successful model with over 3.1 million followers on Instagram.
