Lori Harvey is putting breakup rumors to rest in the cutest way!
The stunning model got her famous surname after the comedian Steve Harvey adopted her following his marriage to her mother, Marjorie Harvey. Now, the caramel-toned beauty is one of the "Family Feud" star's most recognized children.
When she is not turning heads on red carpets, the 26-year-old makes headlines for her relationships. Following her high-profile separation from Michael B. Jordan, fans have wondered if her new man, Damson Idris, would be another failed romance.
Here's what the bombshell had to say about her lover!
Believe It Or Not, Lori Harvey And Damson Idris Are Here To Stay
Following the debut of her relationship with the "Snowfall" star, the public has doubted the affection between the lovebirds. After being shrouded in breakup rumors, the SKN by LH founder finally addressed the situation.
In an Instagram Story update, the Memphis native shared a sweet picture of her boyfriend dressed in an all-black ensemble. The outfit consisted of a sweater designed with the American flag paired with trousers and matching black shades.
Idris was captured in the driver's seat of a black car with the hood down, flashing a smile at his girlfriend, who took the adorable shot. "MY FINE ASS UBER DRIVER," the media personality captioned the snap alongside a ROTFL and heart-eye emojis.
This simple post confirmed there were no problems in the couple's paradise despite the speculations about their separation. Per reports, the entrepreneur was rumored to have split from the actor after a three-month fling. Their alleged breakup was shared by Harvey's unnamed friend, who told sources that the duo's chemistry had died out.
"They were dating, and it was great, but they're no longer around each other like that," the insider claimed. The individual explained that the pair parted on mutual terms, hinting that their separation came from different life goals. "There's no beef, no cheating, nothing like that. They're just doing their own thing right now," the source said.
Although the lovebirds did not confirm their alleged split, fans mourned the end of their relationship on social media. Others were not quick to believe the news, with a few claiming that the pair were spotted attending SZA's recent concert as an item.
Harvey and Idris first confirmed their relationship in January during the runway alum's 26th birthday. For the event, the Hollywood sensation reportedly posted a picture of himself kissing the socialite on the cheek and captioned it, "Happy Birthday Nunu."
Before the birthday tribute, the "Outside the Wire" star and the media personality stirred up relationship rumors in December 2022 after the entertainers were spotted attending a dinner date in West Hollywood.
This outing marked the first time the socialite had been romantically linked to another man after ending her relationship with the "Black Panther" star. Harvey and Jordan separated after a two-year romance in June 2022.
Fans Aired Their Suspicions About The Power Couple After Their Red Carpet Debut
Last month, the lovebirds were subjected to a similar fate of fans doubting their romance. Fans on social media turned into a detective platform following Harvey and Idris's first red carpet appearance. The lovebirds stepped out in their evening finest to attend the premiere of "Snowfall's" sixth season.
However, pictures and clips from their red carpet debut raised eyebrows as the duo seemingly lacked chemistry. Naturally, the buzz went down on Twitter as fans shared various reactions to the couple's awkward moments.
A video from the event showed the pair keeping a little distance from each other as they posed for pictures, looking like two co-workers trying not to start dating rumors.
"They standing as if, if this don’t work out, they can crop each other out the picture and still keep it," basketball player Kofi Joseph teased, inciting others to point out the apparent lack of chemistry in the footage.
"Why is Damson holding Lori like a rental that he has to return after the event?" another person wondered while a third chimed, "Why tf does all her relationships look ‘business savvy’ like when is she gonna find real love? I could be wrong tho."
These criticisms did not go unnoticed as Harvey responded to the couple's awkward posing underneath a fan's post. The 26-year-old claimed that she might have warned Idris not to stand close to her because she wore body makeup and did not want to ruin his suit.
