Michael B. Jordan is “extremely happy” with Lori Harvey

Speaking about his and Lori’s decision to confirm their romance earlier this year, he told People magazine: “I’m still private, and I want to protect that, but it just felt like it was a moment of just wanting to put it out there and move on. I am extremely happy.

“I think, when you get older, you feel more comfortable about the [public nature] of the business that we’re in.

“So for me, it was a moment to, I guess, take ownership of that and then get back to work.”

A source also told the publication the couple have “gotten serious quickly”, and want to spend all their time together.

They explained: “They have gotten serious quickly. It’s obvious that they don’t want to be apart.”

Meanwhile, Lori’s father Steve Harvey recently revealed he "tried not to like" the 33-year-old actor when he first began dating the ‘Family Feud’ star’s youngest daughter.

Steve said: “You know what, I have tried not to like him. I have tried to find something wrong with him.

“Because I got rid of all of them. All of them.

“Some of them snuck in through the back door and lasted a lot longer than I wanted.”

But ultimately, the comic has found the 'Creed' actor to be one of the "nicest guys" he's ever met and he hopes his relationship with Lori works out.

He added: “This guy is such a good guy. He is one of the nicest guys.

“I met his father, I sat up with him, we’ve talked for hours. I just can’t find nothing wrong with him.

“I’m hoping this lasts because this is a really, really good guy… And I can’t whoop him!”
