Following his stepdaughter flaunting her new man on social media, Steve Harvey has finally broken his silence on Lori’s love interest in ‘Black Panther’ movie star Michael B. Jordan. He spoke about this on his syndicated radio talk show, ‘The Steve Harvey Morning Show’.
The 64-year-old Family Feud host issued playful warnings as most fathers would and said he had his eyes on Jordan. In the past, Harvey has only ever commented on one of Lori’s flamboyant relationships and that was with Memphis Depay, the Ghanaian-Dutch soccer player.
“I like this one,” Harvey said of the Hollywood actor. “I still got my eye on him. I mean I like him, but like I say to all of ’em, ‘I might like you, I might approve of you, but I got a thumb-size section of my heart filled with nothing but pure hatred for your ass. Just in case I need it.’”
There is a thin line between love and hate and Harvey is not taking any chances with his adoptive daughter and declares he can “hate” Jordan if need be for his baby girl.
“Like right now? Nice guy,” the comedian continued. “But I got this little section partner, where all I gotta do is click a switch and I can hate your ass.”
Reacting to being named People’s 2020 Sexiest Man Alive, the “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” author mentioned and mocked Jordan’s title while recording his syndicated radio program
“Cause, you ain’t the sexiest man in the world to me!” he said “Let’s be clear about that.”
Harvey adopted the 24-year-old and her two biological siblings when he married his third wife, Majorie Elaine Harvey in 2007. Sources revealed the Lori and Jordan decided to keep their relationship under wraps and get to know each other in private, unlike her previous relationships which were in the limelight from the onset.
“It seems they have wanted to get to know each other in private,” a source told PEOPLE of the couple’s initial decision to keep their love out of the spotlight. “They have been careful about being photographed together.”
Lori was previously engaged to Depay and was rumored to have been romantically linked with musicians Future, Trey Songz, and Diddy.
The couple both posted photos of each other on their Instagram handles on January 10 which confirmed rumors of their relationship. The 33-year-old Black Panther star spent most of the holidays in November and December with Lori.
They were seen spotted celebrating Thanksgiving together in Atlanta, which sparked speculations about their romance and indicates they might be romantically linked for a few months now.
