A day after news broke that Michael B. Jordan had broken up with Lori Harvey — the “special” woman who made him realize “what love was” — the actor turned up courtside at Chase Center Sunday to watch Steph Curry, Jordan Poole and the rest of the Warriors defeat the Boston Celtics 107-88 in Game 2 of the 2022 NBA finals.
Perhaps the 35-year-old “Creed” star was looking for a temporary distraction from his heartbreak, as his post-breakup feelings were described by People magazine, which was the first to confirm the couple had split.
Jordan, who was People magazine’s 2020 Sexist Man Alive, attended the Warriors game with his good friend, the rapper Cordae, TMZ reported. Not surprisingly, the Hollywood heartthrob was recognized by the media and others in the crowd, and the Chase Center Twitter account gave him an official welcome.

Also not surprisingly, fans on social media were trying to guess his mood, so soon after his breakup from Harvey, the 24-year-old model/influencer whom he had been dating for more than a year. Fans on social media discussed whether his eyes look “watery” or whether his usual mega-watt smile wasn’t as bright as it normally is, according to TMZ.
Both Jordan and Harvey, the daughter of comedian and “Family Feud” host Steve Harvey, were left “completely heartbroken” by the breakup. “They still love each other,” the source said.
For reasons yet to be revealed, the romance wasn’t meant to be. According to People, there is some suggestion that Jordan was ready to take the next, big step in the relationship, while the younger Harvey wasn’t quite so ready to commit.
“Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term,” a source told People. “He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time.”
Jordan’s love for Harvey prompted the usually private star to open up on social media and in interviews about his feelings for her. Jordan very publicly celebrated their one-year anniversary of dating in November by posting a gallery of photos of the two of them looking happy and in love, People reported.
In December, Jordan talked to the Hollywood Reporter about his prior reluctance to say too much about his private life. The Reporter noted that the actor, “known for his thirst-trap appeal,” had spent years “of mostly staying silent in the face of speculation about his romantic life.”
“When I was younger, I don’t know if I could have handled the onslaught of opinions and being picked apart, and also being conscious of what the other person’s going to go through,” Jordan said.
Jordan suggested to the Hollywood Reporter that his relationship with Harvey made him more comfortable being open to such public scrutiny. “It takes a special person to deal with that,” he said.
In an interview with E! News, Jordan also suggested that the love he felt for Harvey inspired his performance in the 2021 romantic drama, “A Journal for Jordan.”
“I wanted to experience love in a relationship in a way that I could pull from,” he explained at the time. “And now where I’m in a time in my life where I have that, it felt like the perfect time to dive into this project.”
Meanwhile, Harvey gushed in an interview in September on The Real about why Jordan was such a great boyfriend. She said that he is “so sweet, very attentive; he listens to me and the things that I say that I want, and he really makes an effort.”
More recently, Jordan posted a photo of Harvey on Instagram and declared “I love her.” The following month, he and Harvey made their red carpet debut as a couple by attending the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Rumors of trouble began to swirl after Harvey didn’t have Jordan with her when she walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, People said, instead walking it solo.
