Michael B. Jordan is bringing the laughs and throwing some light shade at Steve Harvey, who is the adoptive stepfather of his former lover, Lori Harvey. Michael B. Jordan, the man who brought Erik Killmonger to life, playfully roasting Steve Harvey, the king of hosting Family Feud.
Steve Harvey and his beloved wife, Marjorie Harvey, they first met in 1990 at a Memphis comedy club called The Comedy Zone, where Steve was performing. The pair tied the knot in 2007, and their blended family includes their seven children: Brandy, Carly, Broderick, Winton, Morgan, Jason, and Lori. This Hollywood romance is filled with twists, turns, and a healthy dose of real-life charm. The two have been seen as a power couple for years; they've weathered storms, and Steve even penned a book on relationships called "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man." But it seems like every rose has its thorns.
Marjorie isn't just Steve's wife; she was also a dear friend before the romantic journey began. Their friendship laid the foundation for what would eventually become a strong and unbreakable bond. But rumor has it that Marjorie cheated on Steve a while back with their former bodyguard, Big Boi, and a personal chef. It was also rumored that Marjorie is seeking a $200 million divorce settlement, but none of this has been confirmed.
Before I get started, just let me say I'm fine. Yeah. However, Marjorie was more direct than an Instagram post. How to handle being lied about? In the caption, she wrote, "My husband and I don't usually stop to address all the foolishness and lies that have been spread about us. However, to whom much is given, much is required. I understand that with my platform comes some sort of responsibility to those who may not be as strong as we are. Read and share this with your loved ones who may not know how to properly cope. God bless all of you."
Michael B. Jordan began dating Steve Harvey's stepdaughter, Lori, in 2021, and sparks flew. The paparazzi had a field day, and let's not even get started on how everyone's heart skipped a beat seeing those red carpet pics. Michael and Lori have been known to keep all of their previous relationships private, but both of them, Lori, who herself has had her fair share of public relationships, including Dutch football all-star Memphis Depay, singer Trey Songz, rapper and music executive Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, his son Justin, and rapper Future, the two seem to be smitten with each other and were not afraid to show it publicly with swarms of Instagram dedications. The two seem to be growing from strength to strength.
In June of 2022, news broke that the two had ended their year and a half relationship, but the details surrounding the split have never been confirmed. A source told People magazine,
"Michael's matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. 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."
The source also added that Lori wasn't ready to commit and is very focused on her career.
In August of 2022, Lori appeared on the "Love to See It" online video series hosted by Tiana Taylor, where she opened up about her outlook on dating. She spoke about her obstinate way of dealing with dating following her breakup with Michael B. Jordan. Harvey said,
"I'm very much in a space right now where I'm not doing anything that's going to compromise my peace and happiness. Don't give your power away to anybody. I think I'm just going to make sure I know what I want. Yeah, I think that the meter for maturity changes as you get older, right? Yes."
Harvey began the interview by highlighting some of the red flags that she looks out for in potential partners. She shared that she is always mindful of people who are too close to an ex, and she also elaborated on some of the things she values, such as communication and transparency. Harvey admitted that in past relationships, she had not been the best communicator.
Shady public banter between Steve Harvey, the Harveys, and Michael B. Jordan, it all started when rumors began swirling that Steve Harvey might not have been as thrilled about this relationship as he let on privately. Some whispers claimed that Steve had reservations about Michael dating his daughter, while publicly, he was all smiles and support.
In a 2021 interview with Ellen, Steve playfully let it be known that he tried hard not to like Michael B. Jordan.
On November 6, 2022, Michael B. Jordan introduced Drake and 21 Savage at their fake SNL performance. Michael said the title of the duo's collaborative album, "Her Loss," was relatable. But let's be real, can you blame him? I mean, Steve has had his fair share of comments on the relationship.
Between these two, or is it all in good fun? We may never know for sure, but one thing's certain: the internet absolutely loved this exchange. It had fans, critics, and meme-makers buzzing like the Beehive. The fans are all about having a good laugh, and it's clear that Michael's comment was all in good fun. Or was it?

The comment section exploded like fireworks, and fans from all corners chimed in with hilarious memes, gifs, and some seriously witty comebacks. It's like they turned into overnight comedians. Steve would be proud.
It's incredible how a little bit of celebrity banter can turn the internet into a frenzy. But hey, that's the beauty of this digital age: instant reactions, instant laughs.
