I've Tried Not To Like Him — Steve Harvey On Michael B. Jordan Dating His Daughter

Popular talk show host Steve Harvey approves of his daughter's relationship with actor Michael B. Jordan and has revealed how his efforts to fault the Black Panther star have been futile.

Harvey made an appearance on Monday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show and opened up how Jordan compares to his daughter Lori's exes.

"You know, I have tried not to like him", the 64-year-old said. "I have tried to find something wrong with him that I could dig in and go. 'Cause I done got rid of all of them. All of them.

"Some of them that snuck in the back door on me and lasted a lot longer than I wanted it to."

Even though Harvey intentionally didn't mention the exes he was referring to, they obviously include the likes of rapper Future, music mogul Diddy, and his son Justin Combs, who were all romantically linked to Lori.

Speaking further, Harvey said of the Creed actor: "This guy is such a good guy. He is one of the nicest guys, man. I've met his father. I've set up with him, we've talked for hours. 

"I just can't find nothing wrong with him. Between you and me, I'm hoping this lasts 'cause this is a really, really good guy, man."

He joked, "I can't whoop him. Most guys, I say I can jump on them and take them out. But he just looks like a real ass-whooping in the making. So, I'm just hoping they make it."

The dating rumours revolving around Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey first began to fly late last year when they were both spotted traveling together on November 25, 2020.
