There are still a few more Paris Fashion Week events to attend before the season comes to a close. Still, already we’ve seen an abundance of headline-making celebrity antics (and outfits). Of course, Cher and AE Edwards surprised pop culture fanatics by reconciling their romance in time to sit front row. Elsewhere, Zendaya continued her streak of breaking necks at the Louis Vuitton presentation while Pete Davidson’s rumoured new lover, Madelyne Cline, shared a smooch with fellow actress Dove Cameron. Others who we’ve seen out and about in the City of Love are Damson Idris and Lori Harvey.
Despite what critics had to say early on, their relationship looks to only be growing stronger. Seeing as she’s been a socialite for all of her adult life, the Memphis-born beauty is used to being in the spotlight, and often harshly judged on her fashion statements. Thankfully, she’s refined her style while growing into womanhood, as shown in her stunning, navy Ferragamo dress below. The shiny fabric perfectly hugged Harvey’s hourglass figure. Her glamorous makeup proved that neither her face nor body card ever declines.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t look like Idris has been making appearances on the runway circuit with his girlfriend. Rather, he’s been accompanying her to evenings full of party-hopping and luxurious dinner dates around Paris. Seeing as the pair have done plenty of travelling together already, they’re likely accustomed to working in dates around each other’s busy schedules.
Apart from the runway shows and events she attended in Paris, Lori Harvey was also seen wearing Pinterest-worthy outfits during her time off too. On Sunday (October 1), she was photographed in a brown zip-up hoodie, schoolgirl skirt, tights, and knee-high boots, which she accessorized with a simple pair of black shades.
As shown in the photo above, she and Damson Idris coordinated their colour schemes without matching their outfits too obnoxiously, though they walked too far apart for the paparazzi to capture any flattering couple photos. Do you think the model has finally found her end-game lover? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
If you ask us, 26-year-old Lori Harvey is living the dream. The Memphis-born beauty spends her days perfecting her body at pilates class, coming up with new products for both her skincare and swimwear lines, and of course, fulfilling her obligations as a socialite. There aren’t many events Harvey isn’t invited to attend, and in recent years she’s become a fan favourite at Fashion Week thanks to the way her style continues to evolve as she steps into womanhood. She began the month in New York City, linking up with friends like Teyana Taylor. Now, to close out September, the SKN founder is overseas in Paris.
Before stopping in the City of Love, Harvey dropped by Milan to attend the Ferragamo runway presentation. For that, she was covered from jawline to ankle, though her hourglass shape was still defined through the red monochromatic fabric. Now that she’s in France, Harvey has been out and about with her beau, Damson Idris, party-hopping with other pals like Hailey Bieber and Richie Akiva.
For one event, the fashionista wore a curve-hugging latex dress in a navy blue colour, as shown on her Story above. Elsewhere, paparazzi snapped photos of her and Idris walking hand-in-hand. While the Snowfall star paired black trousers and a leather jacket with a classic white tee, his date served serious body in a brown catsuit. The garment featured a unique neckline leaving almost all of Harvey’s chest on display for the cameras to capture.
Damson Idris didn’t have an easy time introducing himself to the world as Lori Harvey’s new beau, especially not after she and Michael B. Jordan won fans over with their romance. Thankfully for the couple, he’s been able to cement his status as the perfect Instagram boyfriend for the model. We’re unable to share the aforementioned paparazzi photos from their Paris date night directly on HNHH, but you can see Harvey’s bold catsuit and her man’s dapper duds by clicking the Via link below.
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris continue to remind us that, despite what haters tried to say early on in their relationship, they really are couple goals. Since they first went public, we’ve seen the young lovers travelling all around the world together. The beauty mogul’s fans were curious to see who she would begin dating next after her split from Michael B. Jordan, and they certainly seem satisfied with her next pick. Throughout the years she’s also been linked to Future and Trey Songz, but social media sleuths have noticed that she looks happiest in Idris’ company.
On Friday (September 1), the Snowfall star celebrated his 32nd birthday, and Harvey was more than happy to commemorate the occasion with him. Her Instagram Story proves that she couldn’t be more proud of Damson as he smiles from ear to ear in front of his balloons. “Happyyyy Birthdayyyy twinnnnn!!!! I love youuuuuu ,” the 26-year-old declared for all of her followers to see.
In another snapshot, the black-haired beauty came out from behind the camera to post with her man. As he wraps his arm around her perfectly toned waist (hidden beneath her little black dress), Idris also plants a sweet kiss on Harvey’s forehead. “Hope this year is extra special ,” she wrote on that upload, speaking positivity over her partner’s life.
From the early days of sharing their relationship with the public, Lori Harvey and Damson Idris have done their best to keep certain things lowkey. The model clearly has no problem sharing sweet selfies with her beau in her baecation photo dumps on Instagram, but when it comes to their feelings for each other, they prefer to keep those between them. Read what Idris previously said about maintaining a “normal” relationship with Harvey at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
When Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan announced their breakup in early 2022, fans of the model were curious to see what her next move would be. Rather than sulk over the relationship that didn’t last, she’s been pouring her energy into expanding her personal resume, as well as travelling the world with Damson Idris. The Snowfall actor and Harvey publicly confirmed their romance to the world late last year, and while critics have made attempts to split them up, the photos from their latest day out together prove that they’re doing just fine nearly a year into committing to each other.
On Sunday (August 20), the Memphis-born beauty hopped on Instagram to share another photo dump with fans. This time around, she gave us a look inside her and Idris’ day at the Happiest Place on Earth together, where they ate plenty of delicious treats. “Went to Disneyland for the food ,” she wrote in the caption. Harvey also noted that she’s wearing the Mallorca playsuit from her Yevrah Swim Euro Summer collection.
Throughout her 10 pictures, the multi-talent chose to highlight snacks like a funnel cake, giant pretzels, and lollipops. She and Idris definitely got their steps in, as her phone’s pedometer tracked just under 15K, and the couple looked to be all smiles in the snaps captured of them together. In the comments, many followers have observed that the chemistry between the pair looks to be different than how Lori was with past lovers like Future and MBJ.
If you think that taking a day trip to Disneyland simply for the over-priced (albeit tasty) food is a major flex, wait until you see what Lori Harvey got up to in Cabo San Lucas earlier this month. See the model’s photo dump from those adventures with Damson Idris at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
From what we’ve seen on her Instagram feed, Lori Harvey has had an incredible 2023 so far. She recently launched her Yevrah swimwear line and continues to promote her skincare products. Elsewhere, she and Damson Idris have already been on multiple baecations. Of course, the pair is forced to spend lengthy periods of time apart due to their busy careers. Making time to travel through the tropics together is likely what keeps their bond so strong.
Their latest adventure has taken the actor and model to beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. On Monday (August 14), Harvey shared a photo dump highlighting some of her favourite memories from her time down south. She kicked things off with a classic beachside snap, relaxing on a chair with a beverage in hand. The Memphis native also showed off the stunning views she encountered during her stay, as well as her perfectly toned figure in several of her Yevrah designs.
Mid-way through her IG carousel we finally see Idris, who looks comfortable as ever with his arm wrapped around his girl. While he toasts the camera with a glass of red wine, she pulls a duck face and sticks up her middle finger. It seems their Mexico getaway featured plenty of delicious food and drinks, fashion-forward moments, and spectacular sunsets spent frolicking by the water in their swimsuits. It’s unclear where Harvey and Idris well get off to next, but we certainly can’t wait to see the photos that come from their trip.
Lori Harvey has been linked to no shortage of famous figures in the industry since she first became a household name. Arguably the most high-profile relationships she’s had have been with Future and Michael B. Jordan, however, Damson Idris has been in her life much longer than many anticipated they would last. Read Harvey’s full dating history at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
The 2023 BET Awards will be held on June 25, and the ceremony is set to take place in Los Angeles, California. Nominations have been announced, and the Best Actor Award is up for grabs by many notable names. Seven incredible actors are nominated, and it’s anyone’s guess who will take home the coveted trophy. The award covers both television and film work, making for an even tighter competition.
Will Smith is the current holder, winning for his performance in the biopic King Richard. Michael B. Jordan and Denzel Washington are the actors with the most wins in this category, with three each. Jordan has the chance to break this tie, as he’s up for his sixth nomination for his work in Creed III. Actors Amin Joseph and Lil Meech have each received the first nods in the category, joining the other nominees. The award covers one or multiple acting performances during the eligibility period, so while some actors may be nominated for one role, others may score nods for multiple performances. Here are the nominees for the BET Award for Best Actor.
Amin Joseph
Since the premiere of Snowfall in 2017, Amin Joseph has been praised for his role as Jerome Saint, the uncle of main character Franklin Saint. After his work on the series for six seasons, Joseph has finally received his first Best Actor nomination at the 2023 BET Awards. His nod is well deserved; his work in the sixth and final season was met with particular acclaim.
Brian Tyree Henry
Brian Tyree Henry’s nomination in this category is thanks to not one but three of his impeccable performances in 2022. The actor received rave reviews for his acting in the final season of Atlanta. His role as “Paper Boi” has garnered acclaim since the show’s premiere in 2016. Furthermore, Henry was lauded for his hilarious performance in the action comedy thriller Bullet Train where he starred as Lemon, a British assassin. Finally, his work in the drama Causeway also received highly positive reviews, making him a trifecta nominee.
Damson Idris
Damson Idris has starred as young drug lord Franklin Saint for an outstanding six seasons on the crime drama, Snowfall. He and the show have both been well-received by fans and critics alike. Idris has also now earned three Best Actor nominations for his work on the show. The 2023 BET Awards will mark the third year in a row that Idris has been up for the coveted trophy. Additionally, he is up for the award alongside his co-star Amin Joseph, who stars as his uncle, Jerome Saint.
Daniel Kaluuya
Thanks to his team-up with Jordan Peele once again in Nope, Daniel Kaluuya has earned another nod at the BET Awards for Best Actor. This marks his third nomination in the category. In 2018, he was nominated for his work in Black Panther and Get Out, while he scored another nomination for starring as real-life Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in the biographical drama Judas and the Black Messiah. Kaluuya, alongside his co-star Keke Palmer received great praise for their work in Nope. The pair, who played siblings, offered contrasting performances while still captivating viewers in their own way.
Demetrius ‘Lil Meech’ Flenory Jr.
Demetrius Flenory Jr. is popularly referred to by his rap moniker Lil Meech. Since 2021, he has starred in the biographical crime drama BMF, or Black Mafia Family. The series is also executive produced by 50 Cent. In BMF, Lil Meech stars as his own real-life father, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory. Lil Meech has thanked his father and 50 Cent for the opportunity to take on the role. The actor and rapper has also shared that his Big Meech has seen and appreciates his work on the show.
Donald Glover
With his work on the final season of Atlanta, Donald Glover has scored his third Best Actor nomination. The actor received back-to-back nods in 2017 and 2018 for his role as Earnest Marks in the comedy-drama. Throughout the series’ four-season run, Glover has won numerous awards as the lead actor and creator of the show. He has also won a BET for his work as Childish Gambino, taking home the Video of the Year Award for his groundbreaking single “This Is America.”
Michael B. Jordan
Michael B. Jordan has now been nominated six times in the Best Actor category. He’s also tied with Denzel Washington as the actor with the most wins, with three each. Jordan’s nod this year comes from his career-defining turn in Creed III, which also served as his directorial debut. The film received positive reviews for its direction, storyline, and acting. His previous wins were for his roles in both Creed and Creed II, as well as his performance in Just Mercy. Creed III has also been nominated for Best Movie at the 2023 BET Awards, so Jordan is up for another potential win in another category.
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris shared a video on Instagram of a trip together in London, last week. In the clip, the two sit in the back of a car while Harvey laughs and hides her face from the camera.
“Bro lasting longer than I expected in the relationship,” one fan commented when The Shade Room reposted the video. Another wrote, “He don’t know the rules… When that hand goes up stop recording done being cute lol.”
Lori Harvey & Damson Idris At The Premiere Of “Snowfall”
Harvey and Idris have been dating since 2022. They were first spotted together at a West Hollywood restaurant in December. They made their romance official a month later while celebrating Harvey’s birthday. Harvey was previously in a relationship with Michael B. Jordan for a year and a half.
The pair broke up in June 2022. Afterward, Harvey spoke about what she wanted out of her next relationship during an appearance on Bumble’s Luv2SeeIt YouTube series. “I didn’t really know myself, I didn’t really know what I liked, what I didn’t like. I just feel like I hadn’t really experienced life,” she said at the time. “So, at that point I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to date on my terms.’ However, I want to move, whatever I want to do, I’m going to do it. And if it’s no longer serving me, I’m going to move on.”
Lori Harvey & Damson Idris In London
Damson Idris is best known for starring in John Singleton’s crime drama Snowfall. He also has credits on Netflix’s sci-fi action film Outside the Wire as well as Black Mirror and Donald Glover’s latest series, Swarm. Harvey is the daughter of comedian Steve Harvey and works as a model, having walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana, and starred in campaigns for Burberry and Michael Kors.
At first, there was some doubt about the chemistry in Lori Harvey’s new relationship, but she and Damson Idris are quickly becoming one of the internet’s favourite couples. The model spent several months alone after her split from Michael B. Jordan but has happily claimed the Snowfall star as her man since late 2022. They’ve previously made their red carpet debut during the latest season premiere of the English actor’s FX series. More recently, they enjoyed plenty of fun in the sun on a tropical baecation together, which Harvey documented on Instagram earlier this month.
Elsewhere on her social media page, the Memphis-born beauty shared more photos from her dinner date with Idris, which appears to have taken place at Nobu. On Saturday (April 29), Harvey’s feed lit up with a carousel post containing snapshots of both her tasty food, and some heartwarming outfit pictures captured by her man. “When he want you to know he still in the picture ,” she wrote in her caption. In the very first image, we’re immediately drawn to Lori’s cool look for the day, but to her right, Damson’s shadow is abundantly obvious as he captures her best angles.
Lori Harvey Puts Her Man to Work
For their dinner date, Harvey wore light-wash, straight-leg jeans with a hole in one knee. She kept it casual with a cropped white tee worn under an amazing black and white leather jacket and oversized shades. For a pop of colour, she carried her must-haves in a light blue clutch, creating serious contrast with her stark, pointy white heels. Idris’ outfit of the day didn’t make the photo dump cut, though his shadow certainly looked great in its many appearances.
“Robert Frank baby,” the 31-year-old dropped by the comments to write. His message was followed by others praising the beauty guru for how happy and authentic she seems in love this time around. “He’s a GOOD MAN Savannah,” one user joked. Another chimed in with, “I think she is in love with this one. It’s different. It seems more organic. It’s awesome to watch.” Do you think Lori Harvey and Damson Idris’ relationship will last through Hot Girl Summer? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
Model and beauty mogul Lori Harvey has a lot going for her in terms of her blossoming career. It’s common enough to see her face all over various advertisements since she signed with IMG Model Management. After launching her skincare line, SKN by Lori Harvey, she’s been compared to the likes of Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston for showcasing an entrepreneurial spirit using her notoriety as a baseline. Although Lori has so much going for her beyond her relationship status, fans are still incredibly curious about what’s going on in her personal life. Here is an extensive breakdown of Lori Harvey’s boyfriend list and why those relationships didn’t work out.
Lori Harvey & Damson Idris
Actor Damson Idris is the latest man involved with Lori. They shocked everyone when they went Instagram official earlier this year. It went down while celebrating her 26th birthday. Lori’s celebration was a reported huge bash with a guest list of famous faces, including Kendall Jenner, Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, and Lil Nas X.
Way before her birthday celebration (and prior to posting pics together on the ‘Gram), the couple was seen cozying up together. Back in December 2022, their date nights were already starting. Rumors about their breakup made rounds, but they immediately shut those down. As of April 2023, Damson and Lori are still an item. They vacationed in Turks and Caicos together and shared loved-up pictures in their hotel suite.
Michael B. Jordan
Out of everyone on Lori Harvey’s boyfriend list, Michael B. Jordan is certainly a man who stands out significantly. The model and actor dated for 18 months before calling it quits. During that time, though, they seemed to be head over heels in love. In fact, some fans were convinced they were on track to getting engaged and eventually married.
They were seen together first during the Thanksgiving holidays of 2020. The pair waited until January 2021 to become Instagram official with a series of sweet pictures highlighting the best moments of their relationship. Rumor has it they didn’t work out because she wasn’t ready to commit and move on to the next phase in their relationship. During his Saturday Night Live monologue, he mentioned something along the lines of their breakup being “her loss.” However, Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee claimed word on the street was Jordan was cheating on the socialite. Lee said he questioned Lori about it, but she didn’t give an answer.
Lori dated Future from December 2019 until August 2020. At the time, the rapper wasn’t shy about posting pictures of the beauty on his social media pages. He seemed proud to be in a relationship with her and wanted to show her off. At one point, she shared an Instagram Story of him kissing her cheek while they were traveling through the Caribbean islands together on a romantic getaway. She even quoted his song, “Life is Good,” as a caption in the video. As far as why Lori and Future didn’t work out? They’ve both refrained from publicly speaking about their breakup, leaving the root cause up for interpretation.
Diddy
Sean “Diddy” Combs was rumored to be dating Lori during the summer of 2019. The two were seen chilling in New York City, decked out in matching outfits at the time. Out of all the people on Lori Harvey’s boyfriend list, Diddy is certainly one of the most prolific and successful individuals. By the time October 2019 rolled around, though, the relationship was over. She unfollowed him on Instagram, and he was allegedly seen hanging out with Nicole Oliveira shortly after that. Nicole is an actress who starred in the movie Gemini Man.
From December 2018 until February 2019, Lori and Trey Songz were reportedly an item. Insider details about the romance between Lori and Trey are few and far between because they stayed pretty low-key while they were together. We do know that there likely wasn’t any bad blood between them when they decided to part ways. She commented on his post to show support when he announced he was a first-time father in May 2019. She wrote, “Awww that little foot. Happy for you T!” She even added a heart to show love.
Justin Combs
Way before Lori spent time with Diddy, rumors about her and his son, Justin Combs, made their rounds. She attended an event hosted by Diddy, Future, and Jeezy. It was there that she and Justin started creating a buzz. Years later, she shut down rumors about any involvement she ever had with both Diddy and Justin in her own words, she said, “I’ve heard I’ve dated a father and son before. [Which is] absolutely not true.”
Memphis Depay
Lori’s earliest known relationship is one she had with Memphis Depay. She was only 20 years old at the time, but she actually accepted a marriage proposal from the Dutch soccer player. He popped the question in 2017, and they started planning their nuptials. By 2018, she was seen out and about without her engagement ring. She told Essence that she didn’t really know herself well enough to commit to something so serious. In other words, she felt too young and without enough experience in life to get married.
The cocaine saga Snowfall debuted on television screens in July 2017. Although its viciousness doesn’t provide the average viewer with exciting thrills, it serves as an astringent reminder of morality. The show indulges its audience through its nostalgic portrayal of Los Angeles in the mid-1980s and pays homage to John Singleton’s vision of the city. Set against the beginning of the crack cocaine epidemic and its transformative impact on culture, the story follows a selection of characters headed for a violent rendezvous. Here are the best seasons of Snowfall.
6. Season 5
The fifth season of Snowfall delves into the demise of Len Bias, an athlete who tragically succumbed to a heart attack due to cocaine abuse. The story, focusing on the main character Franklin and his thriving illegal drug business, has him navigating a new market, one saturated with competition. As he strives to remain at the forefront of this industry, the season examines the impacts of cocaine in all its facets. From underworld dealings to personal losses, viewers watch Franklin’s progress as he battles the changing dynamics of the illicit cocaine trade.
5. Season 6
Battles for power, dominion, and riches have reached an irreversible climax in the sixth and final season. However, the battle that matters most is the one for Franklin Saint’s soul. His wit has enabled him to evade crisis after calamity but with a dreadful price. Since beginning his journey, he has developed an entire empire underscoring wealth yet destroying the lives of countless others. Unwinding his narrative is an American story full of sharp contrasts and brutality entwined together, making escape impossible.
In these opening two episodes, this plotline comes into focus. Despite trying to flee from his past life, which is already an impossible task due to what he has caused, it is looking less and less unlikely. He takes on everyone around him: Uncle Jerome (Amin Joseph) and Aunt Louie (Angela Lewis); and his ex-CIA “companion’ Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson). This was all in pursuit of regaining the money he lost.
4. Season 1
Franklin gives viewers a ray of hope as they follow his journey through South Central Los Angeles. His uncle Jerome (Amin Joseph) and aunt Louise (Angela Lewis) welcome him into the family business of marijuana dealing. Franklin uses his newfound connections from an upscale, predominantly white high school in the valley to bring even more money into the trade.
The young man has a relaxed demeanor, so much so that when a pal from the valley asks Franklin to help with a cocaine deal, he replies jokingly, “Sure, I’ll be the Black guy—I always am!” Damson Idris puts on a masterful performance here, conveying his character’s forceful attitude and a good sense of humor. Behind all this hilarity lies Snowfall’s subtle irony: Cocaine is just around the corner, and no one has any idea how it will affect things.
3. Season 4
Many decried the third-season finale of Snowfall for permitting Franklin too easy an escape. After weeks of anticipation to witness him face the consequences of killing Officer Wright (Marcus Henderson), the show resorted to a contrived “it was all a dream” angle with Franklin evading Mel’s (Reign Edwards) offensive. Such criticism is truthful yet overlooks that this narrative needs to keep advancing. Franklin’s knack for dodging trouble drives him further into this realm.
Gustavo and Teddy face a dangerous new enemy in the drug trade, while Franklin climbs to the upper echelons of the criminal underworld. An investigative reporter from LA is getting closer to uncovering the truth about Officer Wright’s murder. Meanwhile, Leon seeks independence, as Cissy and Alton are trapped in the middle of the destructive crack cocaine war. These gripping first four episodes of Snowfall demonstrate that it remains an impressive, compelling show.
2. Season 2
Snowfall’s second season began with a shift in its narrative. It had become darker and more intense, packed with sudden decisions that spoke volumes. Even the show’s four intertwined stories came together more cohesively than before. Snowfall’s second season reveals power in many guises: bold action, scheming politics, financial clout, and audacity. Having proved its characters’ ambitions, Season 2 expands on them. But something is missing.
After four months, the series resumes with crack cocaine beginning to spread in the streets due to several conditions that early episodes explain. Franklin has been able to convert powder cocaine into profitable crack. Teddy has created both north- and south-bound networks for a CIA-sponsored illegal Contra cocaine venture. And Lucia, after assassinating her uncle, has become the family’s drug trade leader and determinedly seeks more success.
1. Season 3
Ranked as one of the best seasons of Snowfall, the third season begins with something familiar. The landscape encases the whole image; the blazing sun, and bright azure skies are filled with trees here and there. It reminds us of the first episode, where the wide-open sky clashed with the harsh heat of the street below, presaging a tragedy like the one in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing. But times have changed now. As Officer Andre rolls through in his patrol car, he perceives composed people strolling around and talking jovially.
He is puzzled by this novel atmosphere or maybe just marveling at how places evolve. At once, in a corner, a woman leaps into a vehicle to take hold of crack cocaine. When the driver views Andre, he takes off abruptly, but the woman hangs on tightly and finally grabs a stone. Suddenly letting go of the door, she tumbles to the ground and thuds down. Andre strides over apprehensively, yet shockingly, she rolls onto her back, swallows a hit, and reclines onto the asphalt. Nothing surpasses the hit. Although their surroundings have shifted, not all the changes are positive.
