Reports claim Damson Idris and Lori Harvey called it quits but the couple still seem to be going strong. Media Take Out reports that friends close to the SKN founder confirmed that she’s no longer with the Snowfall star. “They were dating and it was great, but they’re no longer around each other like that,” the friend said, though they stated there’s no bad blood between Lori Harvey and Damson Idris. “There’s no beef, no cheating, nothing like that. They’re just doing their own thing right now.” It seems as though Lori’s absence from the Swarm premier in LA raised suspicions among fans.
Just as the Internet went wild over the rumors, Damson Idris and Lori Harvey were spotted together, once again. In the face of the allegations of a split, they showed up to SZA’s concert where they were walking hand-in-hand. However, the two seem to be used to the rumors by now, as Idris explained to Rolling Stone. “… Just understanding that you don’t always have to show the world your personal life and that what you do for a living is an extension of yourself, and that’s your baby. And you need to protect that. You also need to protect your personal self too,” he said.
Damson Idris and Lori Harvey began dating at the beginning of the year but speculation began when they were spotted together at an L.A. hotspot. Since then, they made their relationship Instagram official before appearing together at red-carpet events, such as the debut of Snowfall season 6. However, people weren’t necessarily convinced that the relationship was real. Some felt as though it was part of a publicity stunt. However, Harvey later denied that it was true.
As the fake news took over social media, Twitter couldn’t help but crack jokes. Some pointed at Lori Harvey’s dating record, claiming Damson couldn’t make it past the 90 day trial. Others brought up Damson Idris’ photo with Michael B. Jordan, who dated Lori Harvey prior. Overall, the internet had a field day with their alleged break-up. Some even joked that the split was a result of Damson Idris’ and Chloe Bailey’s sex scene in Swarm. Check out a few of the best reactions below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris are finally showing off their love after several months, with speculations and rumours flying around about their romance. In December 2022, the pair were spotted on multiple outings following Harvey’s split from Michael B. Jordan. One month later, the model took to her Instagram to make her new relationship status public with a slide of photos from her 26th birthday, which she captioned.
“If you missed it, I hate that for you .”
The 31-year-old Snowfall actor also celebrated the model in a sweet Instagram post.
“Happy Birthday Nunu,” Damson wrote. He also posted photos to celebrate the model on her birthday. One picture showed them snuggled up on a sofa as he planted a lovely kiss on her cheek. In the second photograph, Harvey could be seen cheerfully showing off a large pile of cash.
This is coming after Lori Harvey made headlines for her breakup with Michael B. Jordan, followed by her rumoured romance with the snowfall actor. Lori Harvey and the Creed actor, Michael B. Jordan, started dating in 2020 and made their relationship public in January 2021. Us Weekly confirmed in June 2022 that Harvey and the Marvel actor called it quits after a year and a half of dating.
In a chat with CBS Mornings’ Gayle King, The Creed III star opened up on the breakup. “I think for me it’s just, I was lucky enough to have a lot of work. I’m a firm believer in ‘what’s for you is for you,’ and coming out of that situation—not to give it, you know, any energy and kind of move from that—is, you know, it was an experience for me to grow and learn,” Jordan revealed.
Damson Idris Says The Hype Around his relationship will soon die down
Reports of the two being a couple drove social media into a frenzy, leading to speculation about their relationship.
It is not surprising that the media may affect their relationship. However, in a recent chat with “Rolling Stone,” Idris discussed how he manages his celebrity status while maintaining his personal life.
During the interview, Idris was asked how he navigates his public relationship.
“You stay at home and hide in the cave,” he joked.
“No, I think my advice to anyone who walks down that path is to just keep it as regular and normal as possible and really, really connect to each other and not the outside forces around.” The 31-year-old responded.
Idris is confident that the buzz concerning his relationship with Harvey will soon fade.
“It’s the topic of gossip, and the blogs want to talk about that over the work. I see that a lot. But they’ll get over it soon enough,” he explained. “And in a couple days someone else will be dating, and then they’ll leave me alone.” He told Rolling Stone.
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris Seal Their Red Carpet Debut With a Kiss
Since making their romance public in January 2023, the two have been spotted going on outings, but they never made their red carpet debut until February 2023. On the 15th of February, Lori and Damson Idris made their first public appearance as a couple at the red carpet premiere of the last season of Snowfall in Los Angeles. Lori stunned in an off-the-shoulder black gown as she happily posed for photos with Damson, who stars as Franklin Saint on the FX series. Damson was right beside her—dressed in a dapper navy blue suit—leaned over and sweetly kissed the model on the head.
Lori Harvey’s dating life is always under a microscope. Although they looked happy and in love at the Los Angeles premiere of Snowfall’s final season, critics were quick to imply that the couple had no chemistry.
In the comment sessions, a social media user wrote, “No chemistry. Look how far apart they’re standing lol”.
Miss Harvey was quick to shut down the haters. Responding to the critic, Lori Harvey wrote, “or maybe I just had on body makeup and told him don’t stand too close to me because I didn’t want to get it on his suit. lol y’all try to find a problem with everything.”
Lori opened up to her friend Teyana Taylor on an episode of Bumble’s Luv2SeeIt, Harvey reflected on almost getting married at such a young age and what her red flag and green flags were in a relationship.
On her green flags, the beauty entrepreneur said.
“I would say just like transparency and openness, communication. Not trying to beat around the bush or act like you want something that you maybe really don’t”.
She went future to comment on her red flag saying.
“If you’re too close to your exes, that’s a red flag. I’m very much in a space right now where I’m not doing anything that’s gonna compromise my peace and happiness, so I think just taking control, making sure you maintain your power, don’t give your power away to anybody… is the key to truly being happy in or out of a relationship”.
The model has been in the middle of several high-profile relationships with Trey Songz, Future and Michael B. Jordan.
Michael and Lori had been in a relationship for over 12 months. But, neither has been open about what caused the split.
Although rumours are swirling around the model and the stepdaughter of television host and comedian Steve Harvey, Lori allegedly makes her prospective lover sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with a stiff penalty of $1 million. Michael B. Jordan addressed their split in a funny SNL monologue.
“I just directed my very first movie, Creed 3. Right after that, I went through my very first public breakup,” Michael B. Jordan said.
“Now, most people after a breakup are like, ‘I’m going to get in better shape.’ But I was already in Creed shape! So, I had to be like, ‘Alright, I guess I’ll learn a new language.’ Anyway, estoy en Raya,” he continued.
Regarding the photos that were taken of him at a basketball game after the breakup, Michael explained, “After the breakup, everybody thought I was so heartbroken because when the news came out, I was at a basketball game, and they caught me looking like this.”
“Look, I was just chillin’ — but the internet decided that was me being sad. Luckily for me, if you Google ‘sad Michael Jordan,’ the first 8,000 results are [of the basketball player].” He added.
