The One That Got Away? Lori Harvey Spotted In LA As Ex Michael B. Jordan Becomes An Oscar King… Does She Regret Breaking His Heart? (PHOTOS)
Media Take Out has some exclusive shots of the “It Girl” herself, Lori Harvey, looking snatched and unbothered in Los Angeles yesterday, March 28, 2026. Clad in her signature high-end gym gear, Steve Harvey’s daughter was seen leaving an elite workout session, but fans couldn’t help but notice the timing.
Just two weeks ago, her most famous ex, Michael B. Jordan, officially leveled up to Hollywood royalty, taking home the Academy Award for Best Lead Actor for his dual role in Sinners. As Michael stands on top of the world, the internet is looking back at the woman who allegedly walked away when he was ready to put a ring on it.
The Marriage Ultimatim: Why Lori Said “No”
As Media Take Out broke first back in 2022, the split between the “Sexiest Man Alive” and the skincare mogul wasn’t about drama—it was about a deadline. Insiders told us at the time that Michael, who is 10 years older than Lori, was ready to “settle down” and move into the marriage phase of their relationship.
But Lori, who was only 25 at the time, wasn’t ready to trade her “fun and free” lifestyle for a picket fence.
“Michael was all in,” a source told Media Take Out. “He wanted that ‘forever’ kind of love. But Lori felt she was too young to be anyone’s wife just yet. She broke his heart because she chose herself over a wedding date.”
The New Era: Damson Idris vs. The Oscar Winner
Fast forward to 2026, and Lori is currently “locked in” with another UK heavy hitter, Snowfall star Damson Idris. The two have been heating up the red carpet circuit—most recently at the Golden Globes—and they look incredibly happy.
But with Michael B. Jordan now an Oscar winner and arguably the biggest star in the world, the “fumble” comments are reaching a fever pitch.
- “Lori really let an Oscar winner slip through her fingers for a gym membership,” one viral tweet read.
- “She’s dating Damson now, but Michael was the one who was ready to give her the world,” another fan added.
No Regrets? Lori Stays Winning
Despite the noise, Lori’s camp insists she doesn’t live in the past. She’s built a massive brand, a skincare empire, and has become the blueprint for how to date on your own terms in Hollywood. While Michael may have the Oscar, Lori has the “Peace of Mind” that comes with not being rushed into a commitment she didn’t want.
Still, seeing your ex-boyfriend give a tearful acceptance speech while the whole world cheers is enough to make anyone have a “What If” moment.
Do you think Lori Harvey “fumbled the bag” by leaving Michael B. Jordan right before his biggest win, or is she the real winner for staying true to her own timeline? Let us know in the comments!
