Michael B. Jordan Jokes about Lori Harvey Breakup on SNL Monologue

Michael B Jordan on SNL

Breakups can be hard, but sometimes they can also be funny. Michael B. Jordan took to SNL this weekend (where he was joined by Lil Baby as a musical guest) to poke fun at the breakup- and himself.

The Creed actor and director cracked jokes about how his breakup with Harvey was his first public breakup (the two ended things in June of 2022). He joked that while most people get in shape after a breakup, he was already in peak physical condition from shooting Creed, to which he responded, “So I had to be like, ‘All right, I guess I’ll learn a new language,’” following up with, “estoy en Raya!” in heavily English-accented Spanish.

He appeared to take a few subtle jabs at Harvey by parading out four female cast members including Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Punkie Johnson, and Ego Nwodim, who all fawned over the star with Nwodim going so far as to rock a wedding dress.

He then noted that he didn’t have to worry about the internet finding many sad images of him online thanks to the famous “sad Michael Jordan” meme.

He also shared a throwback clip of himself at age 16 when he made his soap opera debut, joking about his “howling scene.”

The full opening monologue can be seen below.

He also appeared in skits mocking Southwest Airlines, a “Alpha” male confidence seminar host, a video game voiceover session, and more.

Lil Baby performed hits including “California Breeze” and “Forever.”

Michael B. Jordan Jokes About Lori Harvey Split In “SNL” Monologue

Michael B. Jordan’s SNL monologue included some jokes about his public breakup with Lori Harvey. While it wasn’t anything scandalous, the Creed actor and director certainly added fuel to the rumor fire of relationships. Moreover, his first stint hosting the sketch show resulted in a lot of laughs from the crowd.

“I just directed my very first movie, Creed 3,” the 35-year-old said. “But right after that, I went through my very first public break-up. Now, most people after a break-up would be like ‘I’ma get in better shape.’ But I was already in Creed shape. So I had to be like, ‘Alright, I’ma learn a new language.’” Then, he says he’s on Raya in Spanish.

Later on in his monologue, various SNL cast members approach the actor to shoot their shot at a date with him. Overall, it was a harmless but cheeky way of making light of all the headlines and it was creative to see more people involved in a “monologue.”

However, Jordan opened up to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show about how excited he was to grace the comedy stage.

“It’s going great. I literally just did rehearsal just now,” he remarked. “It’s a machine and they are so fantastic and great at what they do, and it’s been a great process.”

Moreover, this news comes after rumors swirled that the Black Panther star was dating again. However, gossip surrounding a potential flame, British model Amber Jepson, died out after insider sources claimed they’ve never met. On the other hand, his ex Lori Harvey recently went public with actor Damson Idris. Also, dating rumors followed her everywhere she went before confirming her new relationship.

“It’s so funny, because I’m so quiet, there’s been so many stories that have been made up about me,” she told E! News. “I’ve seen stories about me being fully in love with somebody and you have like, this whole relationship. And I’ll see the guy and I’m like, I’ve actually never met him before.

“Like, full-blown stories I’ve heard, I’ve dated a father and son before. Absolutely not true,” Harvey went on. “I’ve even heard that I’m a lesbian at one point. So, you know, there’s been a lot of different things. A lot of stories, lot of misconceptions. I think they’re hilarious. I love the stories.”

Lil Baby Steals Michael B. Jordan’s Valentine’s Date In A Cheeky ‘SNL’ Promo

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so if you haven’t already got your plans in order, you might as well buckle down for a lonely night in.

Michael B. Jordan learns this lesson the hard way in the new promo for SNL, which he’ll host this week. In the second of the three bits, cast member Heidi Gardner makes a pass at him, hoping to get chose for V-Day, but when Mike snoozes, he loses the opportunity to musical guest Lil Baby.

The trio also has some fun with Lil Baby’s stage name in another bit, while in the third, Heidi’s Michael Buffer impression falls flat when she misidentifies Baby’s place of origin as Alaska instead of Atlanta. That could make for one awkward date!

Throughout the clip, it looks like all three are having fun, even if the rapper has a little bit of a “deer in headlights” look to him — which is understandable, considering he’s stepping out of his element. However, his one-time partner-in-rhyme Gunna acquitted himself well in some sketches when he appeared on SNL, so perhaps Lil Baby will surprise us too.

Baby is fresh off the release of his third album, It’s Only Me, which dropped back in October. It’s nice to see he’s still pushing it, considering how quickly artists move on from their projects these days.

You can watch the SNL promo above.

Michael B. Jordan & Amber Jepson Not Dating, Sources Say They’ve Never Met

Breakups are obviously painful for anyone. For celebrities, though, that hurt is often magnified by a thousand thanks to tabloid magazines and internet super sleuths. When two stars go their separate ways, they often hear about each other’s every move in the weeks after. When their former lover begins dating again, they’re unable to avoid the headlines and Twitter trends. Such has been the case recently for Michael B. Jordan, who split from Lori Harvey in mid-2022.

The pair were “couple goals” for many, with the possibility of engagement seemingly on the horizon. However, they suddenly ended their union, and have since scrubbed all traces of one another from social media.

For his part, the Black Panther actor has been working on his career goals in recent months. Harvey, on the other hand, confirmed rumours of her first high-profile romance since she and Jordan split at her birthday party last weekend. Presently, she’s dating Damson Idris, and the two look incredibly happy together.

As the model and actor became Instagram official, memes joked about how the 35-year-old may be reacting to the news. At the same time, the rumour mill began turning, and it was suggested that Jordan has been spending time with a British bikini model named Amber Jepson.

The Sun shared the gossip earlier this week, claiming that he’s “enamoured” with the 26-year-old blonde. They said that he’s “replied to some of her social media posts” recently, and she’s keen to “see where the relationship can go.”

However, The Shade Room has since denied the rumoured romance, a statin that a reliable source close to Jordan shut the allegations down. “The two have never met before,” they added.

As previously mentioned, the California native is pouring most of his energy into work. His directorial debut, Creed III is due out on March 3. “I’ve grown more sure of who I am, holding agency in my own story, maturing personally, growing professionally and learning from the greats like Ryan Coogler, most recently Denzel Washington, and other top-tier directors I respect. All of which sets the table for this moment,” he told Variety of the exciting journey.

Of course, aside from working behind the camera, Jordan will also star in the upcoming film.

Michael B. Jordan Rumored To Be Dating Again After Split From Lori Harvey

One of Hollywood’s most previously beloved couples is moving on from each other. Moreover, rumors spread of Michael B. Jordan dating model Amber Jepson after his ex Lori Harvey went public with actor Damson Idris. According to a new report, the 35-year-old grew close to the British model while spending more time in the UK.

According to The Sun, the actor’s time in England is owed to his partial ownership of the AFC Bournemouth soccer club, which he netted last year. Also during his visits, he formed a relationship with the 26-year-old model. However, reports indicate that they’re still in the early stages of a romance.

Moreover, the publication’s sources claim that the two went on several dates together whenever he stopped by. Also, the Creed star allegedly commented on some of her social media posts.

“It’s early stages but Amber and Michael are really keen on each other,” one insider stated. “They make a handsome, cute couple and are both financially independent. Watch this space.” Many said the same about Jordan and Harvey, even as cheating rumors surfaced online. Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee confessed that he even asked Harvey about them after gossip circled on social media. Even with their break-up, it’s still up in the air.

While Jordan is reportedly having some fun of his own, the news comes just days after his ex took that step first. On her 26th birthday, Lori Harvey publicly confirmed her relationship with Snowfall actor Damson Idris. Moreover, the 31-year-old posted a picture of him kissing Harvey on the cheek on his Instagram story. The caption read “Happy Birthday Nunu.”

Later, onlookers spotted the couple at the socialite’s celebratory party in Los Angeles. While guests included Kendall Jenner, Lizzo, Justin Bieber, and more, Jordan’s also building up star power. Furthermore, he recently announced that Dreamville, the J. Cole-led rap collective, will executive produce Creed III‘s soundtrack.

What do you think of Michael B. Jordan’s reportedly dating again after his split from Lori Harvey? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest celebrity gossip and relationship rumors.

Jason Lee Asked Lori Harvey About Michael B. Jordan Cheating Rumors

The pop culture world again speaks on Lori Harvey and her dating past. As the socialite celebrates her 26th birthday, she also seemingly confirmed reports that she is now dating Damson Idris. The Snowfall star uploaded a photo of himself kissing Harvey on the cheek, sparking a wave of reactions on social media. The Breakfast Club joined the conversation, along with guest host Jason Lee, the founder of Hollywood Unlocked.

“Stop policing her vagina,” Lee began. “Let her do what she wanna do. If she wanted to be the Future of the industry, let her be the female Future of the industry.” He also said he “loves Lori Harvey,” adding, “I think she gave Michael B. Jordan a lot of grace in that break-up because I heard what the streets was saying about that.”

Lee hopes that one day, Harvey will sit with him for an in-depth interview.

“[The streets were saying] Michael B. allegedly was cheating on her,” Lee continued. “She didn’t really say nothin’ about that.” When he ran into Harvey at Essence Fest, Lee asked about the rumors of Jordan’s alleged infidelity. Harvey seemed stunned.

“She just stared at me,” Lee said before addressing Jordan. “That man came to the Wakanda 2 premiere with no sleeves, chest out, no undershirt. Nipples was showing on the side. He was looking for a piece. But hey, if I had the body like that, I’d do it, too.”

Charlamagne Tha God joked that Lee would run Jordan “back to white women.” He also said Jordan is “single in these streets.”

Lee quickly replied, “He was single with Lori, allegedly.” Check it out below.

Angela Bassett Is Proud Of Son For Apologizing Over Michael B. Jordan Death Hoax

A new TikTok trend has killed off many of your favorite very-alive celebrities, and Angela Bassett, unfortunately, was caught in the chaos. There are several trends on the popular app that gain worldwide attention, but when people began killing off the rich and famous, some people didn’t appreciate the viral moment. Recently, we reported on Angela Bassett’s 16-year-old son Slater getting caught up in the trend. It resulted in his tearful apology after tricking his mother into believing Michael B. Jordan had died.

As we recall, Bassett and Jordan famously starred together in the Black Panther films. Slater filmed his mother’s shocked reaction to learning that someone she considered family was allegedly no longer alive.

When it was revealed that Slater was pranking the Waiting to Exhale icon, he soon returned with an apology video.

“I apologize to Michael B. Jordan’s entire family, his extended family, and him directly as he is an idol of mine,” Slater said in his clip. “Taking part in a trend like this is completely disrespectful. I don’t wish any bad ramifications upon his family nor my parents, as they deserve none of the backlash.”

While at the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Creative Impact Awards, Entertainment Tonight spoke with the actress about the controversy. It seems as if it’s something that she’s also ready to put behind her and her family.

“We all make mistakes, own up to them, take responsibility. Then hold your head up and move forward,” Bassett said.

Meanwhile, although Jordan hasn’t said a peep about the Bassett controversy, he does have big plans on the horizon. It was announced last week that on January 28, he would act as the host of Saturday Night Live. The musical guest for that episode will be none other than Lil Baby.

‘Saturday Night Live’ Is Kicking Off 2023 With Aubrey Plaza, Michael B. Jordan, Sam Smith, and Lil Baby

Saturday Night Live returns from its winter break with two first-time hosts. Aubrey Plaza will host with musical guest Sam Smith on January 21st while Michael B. Jordan will take hosting duties alongside musical guest Lil Baby January 28th.

Plaza ended 2022 with a bang, luxuriating in Italy for White Lotus and playing a criminal named Emily in Emily the Criminal. Meanwhile, Jordan’s Creed III will hit theaters on March 3rd, so it’s a slam dunk that there will be at least one Rocky sketch on the program. The two couldn’t be more different stylistically — she’s so deadpan that she has fans wanting her to stand on their faces, and Jordan is a classic movie star with a trillion-dollar smile — so it’ll be a fun couple of weeks to see the show shake things up.

In a way, it’s strange that these two haven’t hosted SNL yet. Plaza has an Upright Citizens Brigade background and was even an NBC page. As she shifted from Parks and Rec to movies and weird anti-superhero roles, she would have an been an ideal pick as host. The same goes for Jordan for different reasons. He’s wildly versatile, dangerously charming, and he’s been a bona fide star for almost a decade.

All that to say: these are really fun picks. An excellent way to kickstart the second half of the comedy show’s 48th season.

Sam Smith And Lil Baby Will Perform On ‘Saturday Night Live’ This Month

Saturday Night Live is making its return to our screens next weekend, and they’ve got some promising acts to kick off the midseason. Today, this month’s hosts and performers were revealed via SNL‘s social media accounts.

On the first episode of the month, set to air live on Saturday, January 21, is The White Lotus star Aubrey Plaza, who will host that evening’s episode. The musical guest of the night is Sam Smith, who will be performing a little less than a week before their fourth album Gloria drops.

In an interview with Billboard that took place last August, Smith said the music on Gloria will be centered around queer joy.

“I think joy for me, and for a lot of queer people, is quite a dangerous place,” Smith said. “We’re all masters of pain, and I think it’s actually a very courageous act to step into the queer joy of it all.”’

The following Saturday (January 28), Michael B. Jordan, who stars in Creed III set to premiere in March will host, and rapper Lil Baby will perform.

Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. EST on NBC. The broadcast also streams live on Peacock.

Gloria is out 1/27 via Capitol. You can pre-save it here.
