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.
They’re easing into being more comfortable sharing their relationship with the world, and fans can’t get enough of Damson Idris and Lori Harvey. After months of speculations about their relationship, the pair recently emerged with loving posts. We haven’t seen Idris tied to anyone, at least not publicly, but Harvey’s past has been detailed for years. The stepdaughter of Steve Harvey has developed a socialite reputation, often seen partying or on the arms of Hollywood’s elite. Last summer, her hot and heavy romance with Michael B. Jordan came to an end, but that followed a string of reported love affairs.
Harvey has been tied to Sean “Diddy” Combs, Future, and Trey Songz, and she was even engaged to soccer star Memphis Depay. Her romances have caused her to be a fixture in conversations about dating in the industry, but the public has become enamored with Harvey and Idris’s connection. Recently, the pair appeared in a brief TikTok video from Cuts & Slices NYC, a pizza joint in the Big Apple. Idris was the main focus, but Harvey could be seen standing nearby.
Damson Idris Chows Down On Oxtail Pizza

The couple stopped by the Brooklyn eatery, and it looked as if it was the Snowfall actor’s first time. He was filmed holding a slice of pizza loaded with toppings, forcing Idris to figure out how to hold it. As soon as he took the first bite, the actor made a production out of his reaction. This elicited laughs from his team and his girlfriend. The person filming explained that the slice was “sweet chili oxtail,” and Idris was clearly impressed. “Crazy! Make the trip.” Harvey simply laughed.
It’s unclear why the pair were in the city, but they’ve been enjoying their coast-to-coast lifestyle. The British actor seemingly went all out last month for Valentine’s Day, although they kept it a secret where they were celebrating. The couple shared a video of their private dinner, encircled by roses and candles. Additionally, Idris has addressed the controversy surrounding his relationship and why he desires to keep things private.
“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,” said the actor.
He added, “It’s just watching other people that I admire do it so greatly and just understanding that you don’t always have to show the world your personal life. 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.”
You know what they say – absence makes the heart grow fonder. That certainly seems to be the case for Damson Idris and Lori Harvey, who have spent a significant amount of time apart this month due to their respective commitments. Being apart from your partner is hard, but luckily, the lovers were able to cross a major relationship milestone together recently – their red carpet debut. At the premiere of the actor’s Snowfall series’ sixth season, he was joined by the model, who looked as radiant as ever.
Social media users couldn’t dispute the hair’s obvious good looks. What they did argue, however, was the chemistry between the pair, which some say is seemingly non-existence. In response to the hate comments, Harvey clapped back on Instagram. She said that her distant body language was to protect her man’s expensive suit from the makeup on her skin, and over the weekend, she proved how thoughtful of a boyfriend he can be.
For his part, Idris took a trip to the islands of Trinidad and Tobago this February to celebrate the nation’s famous Carnival. Nicki Minaj was also in attendance for this year’s events and even gave her first performance in such time, much to patron’s pleasure. The English star clearly enjoyed his vacation and partying, as he chiefly declared on Instagram that he wants to buy a home there ASAP.
“I need a Trini real talk, ’bout to buy a crib here,” he told his followers. “Even the air taste good,” Idris noted, after markedly praising Trinidad’s delicious food and drinks. His only problems, it seems, are the mosquitos who “treat [him] like Popeyes,” and the lack of his girlfriend’s presence.
On the other side of the world, Harvey spent this past weekend in Milan, Italy. Like many others, she was invited to show support at a designer runway. Creative Director Rhuigi Villaseñor requested the Memphis native’s presence at his presentation, where she sat in the front row alongside a slew of celebrities. DDG was present (following his appearance at Gucci’s F/W ’23 collection with Halle Bailey), as was TikTok sensation Dixie D’Amelio.
While he couldn’t join her on the trip, Idris made sure to keep his girl smiling with a romantic delivery during her travels. On her IG Story, Harvey posted a huge collection of red roses, as well as a note reading, “I love and miss you.” In barely visible text near the bottom, she wrote, “My man, my man, my mannn,” tagging her beau to show him some love. Keep scrolling for more content from Lori’s luxurious trip to Milan, and check back later for more pop culture news.
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 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 distanceduring 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.
Snowfall recently hosted its premiere for its sixth season, and ahead of the event, Damson Idris caught up with Rolling Stone. The actor has been making waves for his role as Franklin Saint, but his relationship has thrust him into a new pop culture spotlight. There have been rumors about Idris and Lori Harvey for some time, but only recently did the couple confirm their romance. They made their red carpet debut at the Snowfall premiere, and the actor spoke about navigating a high-profile relationship.
“You stay at home and hide in the cave,” Idris said of how he handles the attention. “[Laughs] 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.” He also suggested that he looks upon others he admires and gleans wisdom on how they manage their privacy.
Idris Wants To Protect His Space

He added, “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. And, of course, 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. And in a couple days, someone else will be dating, and then they’ll leave me alone.”
Harvey’s romances have dominated headlines, and Idris is the latest to find himself a hot topic. Last summer, she ended her relationship with Michael B. Jordan. The Black Panther actor joked about being a single man during his stint as host of Saturday Night Live. Later, he sat down with Gayle King to share what he’s learned and what life has been like back on the market.

“I mean, I think for me, it’s just I was lucky enough to have a lot of work, you know?” Jordan told King for CBS Mornings. “And I’m a firm believer of what’s for you is for you. And coming out of that situation—not to give it any energy and kinda move from that is—it was an experience for me to grow and learn.”
It’s been all of two months since romance rumours surrounding Lori Harvey and Damson Idris began making rounds online. At the time, the actress appeared to have fully moved on from her last serious relationship with Michael B. Jordan, which many fans previously thought would ultimately end in an engagement. While many thought she looked happy with her new lover at first, some are speculating that their union may be approaching its expiration date.

Earlier this week, the famous duo celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together with a dinner date. Afterward, they stepped out for something even more exciting – their red carpet-debut. For the season six premiere of Snowfall, which chiefly stars Idris as Franklin Saint, Harvey joined him as his date for the evening.
They looked as glamorous as ever in their coordinated outfits, the actor sporting a dapper dark suit while the model’s curves shone in a sleek black dress. Their outfits were certainly on point, but the internet has noticed that their body language looked obviously off in some of the circulating photos and videos. Specifically, many are noting that Idris appears afraid to touch Harvey, or as if they’re preparing for an impending split.
“No chemistry,” one Instagram user wrote after seeing the couple’s latest content. “Look how far apart they’re standing lol.” It certainly didn’t take long for the Memphis native to catch wind of the comment, and she promptly offered an explanation to shut the troll up. “Or maybe I just had on body makeup and told him don’t stand close to me because I didn’t want to get it on his suit lol,” the 26-year-old began.
“Y’all try to find a problem with everything,” she then clapped back. In the past, Idris has also used his social media platform to defend his new romance, chiefly calling out the “miserable people” hating on him and his partner.

Michael B. Jordan says that he’s being patient regarding his next romance, after his split from Lori Harvey last year. The two dated from November 2020 through June 2022. Jordan opened up about the state of his love life during a new interview with Rolling Stone.
When asked “if he saw himself making time for a relationship again,” Jordan responded, “Of course I think about it, but I definitely want to try to be responsible with that. Knowing how I wanted to be as present as possible. It’s gonna happen when it’s supposed to happen.”
A source for PEOPLE explained his split from Harvey at the time saying, “Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time. They had great times together and brought out the best in each other.”
Harvey, on the other hand, has already moved on to another relationship. On Wednesday, she and Damson Idris made their red carpet debut at the season 6 premiere of Snowfall. At the event, they could be seen laughing their way down the red carpet. The two have been rumored to be dating since December when they were spotted grabbing dinner in Los Angeles. They also celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together as a couple, earlier this week.
Michael B. Jordan is gearing up for one of the biggest releases of his career in Creed III. Not only does Jordan star in the third entry of the franchise, but it will also be his feature directorial debut. “I’m always willing to prove myself,” Jordan told Rolling Stone. “When you come from where I come from, and everybody doesn’t get those opportunities and breaks — that luck, or whatever — you start to question why you’re getting the things that you get. Why am I successful in life? Or why did I go this way, and everybody went that way? That builds up on you after a while.” The highly-anticipated film is hitting theaters on March 3, 2023.
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris made their red carpet debut at the season 6 premiere of Snowfall on Wednesday. Idris stars as Franklin Saint in the FX drama.

Days before the red carpet appearance, the two celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together as a couple. Harvey shared a message Idris penned for her in honor of the holiday on social media. “I realized it has been exactly 100 days since your beautiful silver dress. Thank God for that dance,” Idris wrote. “Every day since with you by my side has been my favorite movie. I can’t wait till we hit 1,000 months. Happy Valentine’s Day baby. I love you.” Idris was referencing the dress Harvey wore to Odell Beckham Jr.’s birthday party in November, which he also attended.
Before Idris, Harvey was romantically linked to Michael B. Jordan. The two dated from November 2020 through June 2022. A source for PEOPLE explained the split at the time saying, “Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time. They had great times together and brought out the best in each other.”
We kicked off this week with love in the air, and Lori Harvey showed how she spent Valentine’s Day. Millions celebrated the holiday with friends, lovers, or situationships, and Harvey was cuddled up with her new man, Damson Idris. The socialite and Snowfall actor recently went public with their relationship, and it looks like they’re growing more comfortable with sharing their affections.
A video was uploaded showing a peek into the couple’s special day. The black and white video showed floating candles, flowers, and what looked to be wine. The pair seemed to be at a private dinner, and before the clip ended, they exchanged loving kisses for the camera. Fans noted that Idris looked like a man in love.

This is Harvey’s first public romance since splitting from Michael B. Jordan last summer. The ex-couple dated for a little over a year after announcing their breakup. Harvey’s high-profile relationships have often been the talk of social media—from Future to Diddy to Trey Songz, people seem invested in her romances. There were even rumors that she also dated Diddy’s son Justin Combs, but Harvey flatly denied those allegations.
Last year, prior to breaking things off with Jordan, Harvey spoke about the ills of being a hot topic. “It can be a breeding ground for negativity, it can get really toxic and just take a toll on people’s mental health,” she told PopSugar last January. “I had to start prioritizing my mental health as I got older with things that were affecting me negatively.”
More recently, Harvey shared lessons she learned from her stepfather, Steve Harvey. According to the model, her dad told her to always remember that she’s the prize and she deserves to be treated as such. Meanwhile, Jordan touched on his split from Harvey during his recent Saturday Night Live hosting gig. It seems he’s single and ready to mingle.
