Michael B. Jordan has long been the focus of many a fan's wanting eye, no more so than after he was crowned 'Sexiest Man Alive' in 2020.

In his cover interview with People, which gave the actor the coveted 2020 title, the star detailed what he looks for in a partner. His chosen traits include 'a sense of humour, true understanding, because [an actor’s] life is not conducive to a relationship—it’s really not' and 'somebody that’s nurturing'.

The same month, Jordan was rumoured to be dating model Lori Harvey after the pair were spotted at an Atlanta airport together. They were subsequently photographed together in Salt Lake City a day before New Year's Eve.

The 24-year-old model is the stepdaughter of television host and comedian Steve Harvey, who adopted her after his 2007 marriage to her mother, Marjorie Bridges. She began modelling at the age of three and is currently signed to LA Models and Select Model Management.

Here's a timeline of Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan's romance so far:

Lori was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised between Atlanta and Chicago. ‘My parents did a good job of keeping us out of the spotlight and letting us have a normal childhood so we could be kids and not live life under a microscope,’ she previously told Vogue.

In addition to modelling, Harvey showed off a talent for horse-riding and was a respected equestrian in her youth.
