Lori Harvey is THAT girl.
Damson Idris confirmed that he and Harvey are dating on Jan. 13 by sharing a photo of himself kissing the model on the cheek. For those who have been following Harvey’s journey, the hard launch of her latest relationship with the actor is not the first time she’s dated one of the most sought-out bachelors in the entertainment industry.
Harvey called it quits with Michael B. Jordan in June 2022, after a year and a half of dating. At the time, there were reports that the reason for the breakup was that she wasn’t ready for a serious commitment.
Since beaming into the public eye and making a name for herself outside of being Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter, Lori has been romantically linked to some of Hollywood’s most desirable men including Memphis Depay, Trey Songz, Jordan, and more.
While Harvey has remained tight-lipped about the reasons behind her breakups, she did explain her dating mindset during an interview with Essence published last month. “I know my worth, and I know my value,” she told the magazine. “I’m not going to compromise that, or settle, or accept anything less than what I know I deserve. That’s where I’m at in my life right now. I’m not compromising my peace and happiness for anything or anybody.”
With all the chatter in the media, including the rumor that she once dated both Diddy and his son Justin Combs, Harvey is unbothered. She continues to live her best life. And with that said, here’s a timeline of Lori Harvey’s relationships, so far.
Memphis Depay
When: 2016
Harvey and Depay began dating in 2016, and a year later, the international soccer player asked for his then-girlfriend’s hand in marriage. She was 20 years old at the time of the proposal. Steve Harvey immediately took to Twitter to share his and his wife’s excitement about the proposal. “Marjorie and I are proud to announce the engagement of our youngest daughter Lori to Memphis Depay, this young man is a good one! Congrats!” the comedian wrote.
The couple never had the opportunity to walk down the aisle, though, calling it quits in 2018. During a sit-down with Teyana Taylor on an episode of Bumble’s Luv2SeeIt, Harvey reflected on almost getting married at such a young age. “I almost got married very young,” she revealed. “I felt like I hadn’t really experienced anything. I didn’t really know myself, I didn’t really know what I liked, or what I didn’t like. I just feel like I hadn’t really experienced life.”
Trey Songz
When: 2018
A few months after Harvey and Depay called off their engagement in 2018, the model began dating the R&B singer. Meek Mill seemed to confirm the then-couple’s relationship when he opted to stop rapping about wanting Lori on his “wishlist” when performing his song “Going Bad.” Explaining in a tweet, the rapper said, “That’s my dawg I take her off sometimes. Trey my guy I can’t just be reckless, ya know.”
By February 2019, Harvey wiped all traces of Songz from her Instagram account. Fans speculated that the pair’s split had something to do with Songz fathering his son Noah with someone else three months later. However, Harvey showed no signs of animosity toward the situation.
“Awww that little foot ? happy for you T!!! ❤️,” Harvey wrote underneath a photo Songz posted of his baby boy.
Diddy
When: 2019
In July 2019, rumors of Harvey and Diddy’s romance swarmed the internet after the two were spotted taking a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They also took a trip to Italy, where they were captured having lunch with the model’s parents. While the two never made any public statements about whether they were in a relationship, Diddy’s son Justin Combs gave insight during a red-carpet appearance. "They [are] good. They’re just being…private time,” he said. Harvey and the Bad Boy Records founder are believed to have called things off around October 2019.
In January 2023, Harvey appeared on E! News, and spoke with host Adrienne Bailon regarding the misconceptions about her relationships. The model added that she’s heard false rumors that she’s dated “a father and son.” Fans assumed that Harvey was addressing speculation that she dated both Diddy and Justin, whom she was allegedly connected to in 2018.
Future
When: 2019
It seemed like the “Toxic King” met his match when he began dating Harvey in late 2019. The pair enjoyed several outings together during their time together, like a birthday trip to Jamaica and several shopping sprees. Future seemed particularly fond of Lori, and praised his girlfriend in his song “Accepting My Flaws," rapping Give me glory, give me Lori, that's victory."
However, when their romance fizzled out in the summer of 2020, Future was quick to show that he was over his ex-girlfriend, and dissed her in a song titled “Maybach.”
“Tell Steve Harvey I don’t want her,” Future rapped. “One thing I never seen was a b—h leave/Must’ve forgot to tell her daddy she begged me not to leave…put baguettes on ya ankles damn near up to ya knees / She didn’t have a choice, but to go f**k a lame after me.”
Michael B. Jordan
When: 2020
Two months after TMZ released photos of Harvey and Jordan together in Atlanta in November 2020, the two went Instagram official with adorable couple Polaroid photos. Throughout the year-and-a-half duration of their relationship, fans got an insight into MBJ’s romantic gestures, like the time he rented out an aquarium for himself and Harvey to have a private Valentine’s Day dinner.
While some believed the relationship was staged for public relations purposes, that didn’t stop the two from pouring their love and affection for each other on display through social media. They coined the nicknames “Turtle” and “Nugget” for each other, and often shared photos of themselves together. This was a departure for Jordan, who has generally kept his romantic relationships out of the public eye.
In June 2022, news broke that the couple had called it quits. A source told People that Harvey wasn’t ready for commitment. "Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term,” the insider said. “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."
While Harvey didn’t directly say anything about their split, she revealed what her relationship red flags are on Teyana Taylor’s show Luv2SeeIt. “If you’re too close to your exes, that’s a red flag,'” Harvey revealed to Taylor. “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.”
Damson Idris
When: 2023
On Jan. 13, Harvey received an outpouring of social media tributes on her birthday. The one that had everyone buzzing came from none other than Snowfall actor Damson Idris. In a photo posted to his Instagram stories, Idris showed himself kissing Harvey on the cheek with the caption, “Happy Birthday Nunu.”
A few days later, Harvey shared photos from her star-studded birthday party at Lavo Restaurant in West Hollywood. In one photo, Idris is seen kissing Harvey’s hand as she gazes at him. In another, Harvey gives Idris a kiss on the cheek. The new couple appeared to enjoy each other’s company as they partied alongside their friends including Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Offset, and Daniel Kaluuya.
