Steve Harvey is a huge fan of Michael B. Jordan despite his best efforts. On Monday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 64-year-old TV personality reveals how he really feels with his daughter’s boyfriend, Lori Harvey. Steve adopted Lori after he married her mother Marjorie Bridges in 2007.
« I tried not to like him. I was trying to find something wrong with him to delve into, » admits Steve. « Because I got rid of all of [Lori’s previous friends]. All of them. Some of them snuck in the back door and were taking a lot longer than I wanted them to. »
« He’s one of the nicest guys, » says Steve. « I met his father. I sat up with him. We talked for hours. I just can’t find anything wrong with him. »
« That’s a really, really good guy, man, » he says before he jokes about the main reason he wants Lori and Michael’s relationship to continue.
« I can’t beat him up. Most of the people I say I can jump on and take out of, but him looks like a blast, « he jokes. « I just hope they make it. »
While at Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, Steve joked about how Michael had prepared for failure when he surprised Lori by opening an entire aquarium on Valentine’s Day rented.
« Good luck, homie. Because you know Valentine’s Day comes up every year, » he said. « I don’t know if you know how this works or not, but I don’t know how you will surpass it. »
« But good luck, partner, » he added. « I mean, it was really nice what he did … That was a lot. That was a lot. I don’t know where you’re going from here … Michael B. Jordan, good luck homie. » « < Michael and Lori first sparked romantic rumors in November before publicing their relationship in January. Shortly after posting photos of each other, a source told ET that they have actually been together for several months but have been friends for years .
« Michael B. Jordan’s family likes Lori and vice versa. Lori is everything Michael’s family could have hoped for. She’s gracious, respectful, and a perfect fit, « said a second source. » Her friends think he’s great for them, too. Everyone around her is okay with their relationship. Things got serious quickly, but there were no red flags. «
« They are both totally invested, » added the source, « committed and very happy. »
