Everything Steve Harvey has said about his daughter Lori and Michael B. Jordan's relationship

The pair went Instagram official in January 2021 after two months of dating but have avoided posting frequently about their romance.

"I think we're both very private people naturally. So we just decide, if we take a picture or whatever it is, do you want to post this? Do we not?" Lori told Bustle in June 2021.

"We know there are people that love and support us and want to see us. So [we want to] give just enough, but keep the majority of it just for us. We're trying to find a balance."

Appearing on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in March 2021, Steve said: "I have tried not to like him. I have tried to find something wrong with him that I can dig in ... 'cause I done got rid of all of them."

"This guy is such a good guy, man. He is one of the nicest guys, man," he added. "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 ... I'm hoping this lasts, you know, because this is a really, really good guy."

Steve first discussed Harvey and Jordan's relationship in September 2021. He told "Entertainment Tonight" that "this guy is not a representative. He is genuinely who he looks like he is. It threw me off at first because he was so kind."

"You know, I figure, 'OK, this is the game right?,'" Steve said. "But it wasn't, man, this dude was sincere and he's proven to be a really, really good, good guy. I'm pulling for him, you know, for them."

"I mean, look man, being in a relationship in Hollywood is hard. It's really, really hard, there are so many traps and pitfalls in it," he continued. "Especially the younger you are. It's hard if you old. But when you young, it's really, really tough, but they're doing well."

"I don't speak publicly about this type of stuff, but I'm happy for my daughter right now," Steve explained to People. "I really am. It's the first time I've been happy for her [in a relationship]. And it's the first time she's been happy.

"He's just a good guy. If he wasn't, get him out of here, 'cause I have ways," he said. "But I can't say nothing bad, man. He's just got a great family, man. He's a spiritual guy."

In 2020, People voted Jordan its Sexiest Man Alive. "He's not the sexiest man alive to me, at all," Steve joked. "I haven't seen it. I haven't seen anything sexy yet.

"But I'm a father. I don't give a damn if you [are] cute. I just want somebody to treat my princess the way I treat her."

After DeGeneres showed Harvey an intimate photo of Lori sitting on Jordan's lap, he said, "I've never seen that picture before. I'm very uncomfortable with that picture right now. I'm not really feeling that picture."

DeGeneres asked if the "Black Panther" star is a good gift-giver. "Hell yeah. That's why I like him," Steve replied.

"That boy come through. He trying to impress the family ... You know, I'm her father, so he bought me this big 100-cigar box of the most hard-to-get cigars. One hundred of them in this big box, and he gave that to me."

"He gave my wife some skis. Who do that? Only way you give your potential mother-in-law some skis is because you want her to be your mother-in-law," he continued.

"I'm pulling for him because he's a really good guy, man comes from a good family, you know. That's why I'm kind of pulling for him. But at the same time, I'm just — I got my eye on him, you know. I can't whoop him, but if he ever turn around, I'mma knock his ass out."
