Lori Harvey Posts Throwback Photos From Luxe Brazil Trip

As celebrities from all over flocked to carnival events along South America and neighboring islands, Lori Harvey apparently dealt with a case of FOMO. The socialite took to Instagram a few days ago and made note about the past week’s festivities. “Seeing all the footage from carnival made me miss Brazil,” she wrote. The 26-year-old KITH model says she can’t wait to return to the country, where she had one of her “favorite trips ever!”

According to her newly-released photos, Lori Harvey lounged at the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro during her stay. While there, she also dined at their Michelin-starred Ristorante Hotel Cipriani and enjoyed drinks on a yacht as she perused the city. Harvey even took a trip to see Brazil’s gargantuan Christ the Redeemer statue. Jordanian-Romanian shoe designer and friend Amina Muaddi joined Lori during her trip to the South American country-when is currently unknown. In addition, the two ladies saw screensaver-worthy sunsets along the beach and partied with locals during their luxurious vacay.

Lori Harvey Reflects On Rio de Janeiro Vacation

Lori Harvey is a mainstay in the media circuit for her trips as much as she is for her relationships. The Memphis beauty’s latest fling with Snowfall’s Damson Idris initially had many wondering if there was any chemistry between them. Though a woman of few words, Harvey snapped back at spectators who commented on their distance during the premiere of Snowfall’s final season. When an Instagram user chuckled at how far apart they were standing, Lori replied directly to them, stating she had asked him to. Apparently, she had on body makeup and simply didn’t want it to get on Damson’s suit. “Y’all try to find a problem with everything,” Lori added, ultimately laughing it off.

This is Harvey’s latest relationship since her year-and-a-half relationship with actor and director Michael B. Jordan. The Creed star has publicly spoken on their union since their reported split in June 2022. He even went on to joke about the breakup during his hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, calling it “her loss.” The two are rumored to have broken up due to Jordan’s alleged cheating ways, to which Lori Harvey has yet to comment on. Jason Lee says she “just stared” at him when he brought up the allegations at Essence Festival last year.

Gisele Bündchen Celebrates Carnival In Brazil

Gisele Bündchen has been living her best life since her divorce from Tom Brady. In late October, the longtime couple called it quits on their marriage. Brady, who was entering his 23rd season in the NFL, seemingly chose football over Gisele. Instead of sticking to his 2022 retirement and living life with his wife and kids, he went back to football for one more season. Gisele decided that she needed to make decisions for her own happiness too. The divorce soon led to Bündchen doing many enjoyable things as a bachelorette. This included buying a new mansion, making red-carpet appearances, cozying up to her jiu-jitsu instructor, and more.

However, recent reports suggested that Brady plans to win Gisele back. Sources from Radar Online said around Valentine’s Day that Brady is taking a year to try to “get his family back.” He is slated to begin a new broadcasting job at FOX in 2024. But before then, he wants to win back his ex-wife. “The biggest obstacle between them was Gisele’s complaints about Tom was putting football before family, so he decided to show her he’s willing to focus on them before taking the job at FOX,” sources said.

Gisele Goes Back Home

Throughout all of his drama, Bündchen made an exciting trip back to her home country. The Brazilian model took a trip this week to Carnival back home, which is taking place in Brazil from Feb. 17-Feb 25. She first revealed this in an Instagram post on Feb. 20 while wearing a scintillating crop top and white pants. “It was so special to return to Carnival and honor this beautiful celebration of our Brazilian culture,” she wrote. While it is unclear how long Gisele plans to stay in Brazil, the 42-year-old appears to be living it up. So, Tom Brady will need to show her life with him can be just as fun as her current single stint.

Along with Gisele Bündchen, a few other celebrities have been hitting Carnival celebrations as well. Rap queen Nicki Minaj returned to Trinidad and Tobago for Carnival celebrations this week as well. Along with Nicki, actor Damson Idris also took a trip to the islands for Carnival. It seems like mid-to-late February is a huge celebration time for many countries, with even some of their most esteemed celebrities joining in the fun.

Nicki Minaj Is Living Her Best Life At Carnival

If there is one thing Nicki Minaj will do, it’s show out at Carnival. The Rap icon has been teasing new music for some time, often mysteriously popping up in comment sections to answer fans. She has claimed that her next album will arrive soon, but it has been years since we’ve received a full project. Although her Barbz often harasses her about new releases, they also know that Minaj is enjoying time with her family and loved ones. The mom and wife regularly shows off her family, and she was spotted enjoying all the festivities that come with Carnival.

She may have been bred in Queens, New York, but Minaj’s upbringing in Trinidad and Tobago is where her roots were formed. The Caribbean star is also known for shouting out her home turf and the culture within. Recently, a video of Minaj at the airport surfaced, and she added a message of her own to Instagram. “They said the Queen of rap just touch down in she home country,” she wrote. “Allyuh hear dah or wah,?”

Her Carnival celebrations are not only felt in Trinidad but in music, as well. Yesterday (February 19), Minaj also surprised her fans by releasing “Shake The Place (Remix)” with Machel Montano and Destra. She further teased the visual to the track on her Instagram page, which showed a visual filled with all the sights that Carnival brings. Fans were excited to see Minaj back in action.

“If you f*ck with island girls, rep your flag for me in the comments,” Minaj additionally wrote in the caption. Her fans were quick to react and followed instructions. “Trinidad Carnival is about to #ShakeThePlace shake up di whole place. It’s an honor @machelmontano @destragarcia. We’ll talk soon, barbz. Promise. Love you.”

Fans Await News About Nicki Minaj’s Next Album

Additionally, last November, Minaj was featured in i-D magazine and offered a brief update about her forthcoming project. “The fifth album,” the femcee said. “I’m not gonna say when it’s gonna come out, but the album will be out soon.” For her supporters, this has been a long “soon,” but Minaj wants to piece together the best body of work for fans. Check out her most recent Instagram post above.

Damson Idris Turns Up In Trinidad & Tobago Amid Carnival Celebrations

For Trinidadians, the most wonderful time of the year is officially upon us – Carnival. 2023 marks the first year that the festival has been able to return to its full decadence, and needless to say the world is excited. Many locals will be stepping out for the ongoing island festivities, but from what we’ve heard so far, several celebrities are attending as well.

Unsurprisingly, Nicki Minaj announced via Instagram on Sunday (February 19) that she’s touched down in her hometown. This marks the Queen of rap’s first time attending since 2020, which is also the last time she graced the stage. While many are excitedly gearing up for her forthcoming performance, others are gushing over the fact that Damson Idris is also in Trinidad for Carnival this week.

Damson Has Big Love for Trinidad

After spending some time in T&T for Carnival, the Snowfall actor didn’t take long to fall in love with the country. “Absolutely love it here,” he told viewers watching his Instagram Story recently. “I need a Trini real talk, bought to buy a crib here,” he went on, specifically praising their food and drinks.

“Even the air taste good,” Idris joked, pretending to inhale the atmosphere while wandering around a lush green garden. “The only thing is… the mosquitos. They treat me like I’m Popeyes,” he said, revealing his singular criticism of Trinidad. “Apart from that, perfect vibes.” Elsewhere on social media, the English star previewed some of the live music he’s been lucky enough to see.

Now, Damson… Don’t Forget About Lori!

Trinidad certainly does look good on him, but it’s unlikely the country’s beauty will be enough to convince Idris to stay. Now that he’s got Lori Harvey by his side, the foreign actor is easily one of the most coveted men in the world. They made their red carpet debut together last week, and while their outfits were obviously on point, some Twitter users think that their chemistry could use some work.

Upon hearing the feedback about her relationship, the model was quick to clarify a few things. From the sounds of her clap back, she and Damson are doing more than fine. Read everything that Harvey had to say about the gossip here, and check back later for more Carnival news updates.
