However, the streets are whispering that the pair have officially split and fans on social media are sharing their observations of the breakup.
After rumors persisted online in 2022, Lori Harvey and Damson Idris made their relationship Instagram official at the top of this year. From there, the couple showcased their moments together via their respective Instagram pages. Idris also shared a birthday Instagram Story picture and post with Harvey, calling her “Nunu” in the message.
Beyond photos and the like, Harvey and Idris didn’t speak much about their relationship, opting to keep much of their dating life private. That said, both of the stats attracted a flurry of attention whenever a hint of them together online appeared with their fans rooting for this relationship to last.
The Hollywood Reporter obtained an exclusive joint statement from Harvey and Idris, which we’ll share below.
From THR:
“We are at a point in our lives where our individual paths require our full attention and dedication. We part ways remaining friends with nothing but love and respect for each other and the time we shared together.”
As expected, the news of the breakup has folks dropping all manner of comments. Some are applauding Harvey for choosing herself while others are making light of Idris and his feelings.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans are reacting to the news of Lori Harvey and Damson Idris breaking up. The reactions are all over the place and we’ve featured some of them below.

Lori Harvey and Damson Idris were celebrated just months ago as the newest young “it” couple, with many fans of the two loving their romantic connection. However, the streets say the pair have broken up and the reactions from the failed relationships segment of Twitter are out of control.
Lori Harvey, 26, and Damson Idris, 31, first made their relationship official on Instagram at the top of the year. Late last year, Harvey split with Michael B. Jordan after an intense romance between the pair went to the wayside. For Idris, the showy declarations of love and the like were just as noticeable as it was with Jordan and Harvey herself joined in on the display with photos sealing the deal.
News of the breakup came by way of a source who spoke to Media Take Out and the outlet took notice of the fact that recent public appearances of Idris feature him without Harvey on his arm. That doesn’t necessarily confirm the rumors of the breakup but it definitely has folks online talking.
As it stands, fans are making their own assumptions about what happened, even though the source that spoke with Media Take Out said there are no issues between the two and the split was amicable. Further, those same fans are taking shots at Idris over his sex scene with Chloe Bailey in the Amazon Prime thriller series, Swarm.
Yeah, we know that doesn’t make sense.
At any rate, the reactions are starting to bubble up and this latest high-profile relationship examination inspired some cringeworthy and frankly mean-spirited reactions on Twitter. We’ve got the best of the worst below.

Lori Harvey, daughter of comedian Steve Harvey and the woman who lives rent-free in the heads of men who are threatened by women with active dating lives (I’m looking at you, Boosie Badazz), has recently made her red carpet debut with her new boo, Snowfall star Damson Idris.
Harvey and Idris announced that they were officially a couple last month, several months after Lori’s very public split with Michael B. Jordan. On Wednesday, the new couple was spotted together in Los Angeles while attending the premiere of Snowfall‘s finale season, according to E News.
From E News:
Making their red carpet debut as a couple, 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.
At one point in the evening, Damson—dressed in a dapper navy blue suit—leaned over and sweetly gave the model a kiss on the head.
Their glitzy date night comes weeks after Lori’s 26th birthday, which she celebrated with Damson and friends at Lavo Ristorante in L.A. At the time, an looker told E! News that the pair “looked so happy.”
Aaaah, young love.
Listen, we all know Lori can’t step out for a glass of wine with a man without everybody getting all up in her business, but it’s nice to see that she doesn’t let all of that scrutiny (and misogynoir, if we’re being honest) stop her from living her best life with any male companion she wishes to spend her time with.
So, good luck to Lori and Damson, and may they both continue to excel together and individually.

Michael B. Jordan is shedding more light on his public breakup with Lori Harvey, citing work as a healing balm.The Creed 3 actor and director opened up about the split during an interview Wednesday (Feb. 8) with CBS Mornings cohost Gayle King. While in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey, Michael B. Jordan spoke about how his work schedule has helped him deal with the breakup with Harvey.
King brought up his SNL monologue from his hosting stint two weeks ago where he cracked jokes about the situation, claiming he was on a membership-dating app and learning a new language. “Estoy en Ray,” he quipped. He’d go on to say he was joking to King, but she asked: “You’ve been through a very high-profile breakup. How do you deal with that?”

“I think for me it’s just I was lucky enough to have a lot of work,” he replied. “I’m a firm believer in what’s for you is for you, and coming out of that situation — not to give it any energy and kind of move from that … it was an experience for me to grow, you know, and learn.“
The pair split up last June after dating each other for a year and a half. Lori’s father, entertainer Steve Harvey, confirmed the breakup on his radio show at the time. Harvey is now currently dating Snowfall lead actor Damson Idris. For Jordan, he feels that now is a prime time for him in terms of growth.
“I’m in my light right now. This is my Jordan year, I mean that,” the 35-year-old told King. “This is my year. There’s so much going on, so many blessings, so many great things.” In addition to discussing the upcoming Creed 3 featuring costar Jonathan Majors, the interview also shined a light on Jordan’s work with HBCUs, touching on his sponsorship of last weekend’s Legacy Classic basketball tournament at the Prudential Center in Newark.

The sixth and final season of Snowfall will return to FX on February 22 at 10 p.m. But, before Franklin Saint returns to the small screen–actor Damson Idris has broken the internet with pictures that seem to confirm that he is dating socialite and beauty entrepreneur–Lori Harvey.
The photos were featured in the actor’s Instagram story and show one of the two cuddling with Idris kissing Harvey who is smiling. A second photo is of Harvey on what appears to be the set of Snowfall–according to Bossip.
The photos coincide with Harvey’s 26th birthday, January 13th. She also shared the same photos in her IG story.
Harvey, who was recently featured on the cover of Essence Magazine, is the Founder and CEO of SKN by LH–a skincare line that features a five-step beauty regimen. Harvey had previously been linked to actor Michael B. Jordan. The hot couple dated for over a year before calling it quits.
In her Essence feature, she shared, “I know my worth, and I know my value. I’m not going to compromise that, or settle, or accept anything less than what I know I deserve,” she shared of her self-worth and not settling in a relationship. “That’s where I’m at in my life right now. I’m not compromising my peace and happiness for anything or anybody.”
The release of the new photos of Harvey and Idris have elicited mixed responses on social media.
The comments weren’t all great. There was definitely some shade, even by some celebs who were quickly reminded of their past comments.
