Lori Harvey and Damson Idris, previously evasive about their relationship, were beaming with joy after confirming their romance.
In December 2022, speculations about their love connection began to surface as the couple was frequently seen together following Harvey's breakup with Michael B. Jordan. A month later, Harvey publicly declared their relationship on Instagram.
"If you missed it, I sympathize with your unfortunate absence," she wrote alongside a collection of photographs showcasing her birthday celebration. Among the uploaded images was a snapshot capturing Harvey confidently posing on the lap of the esteemed British actor.
As their relationship evolved, the duo's bond flourished, as confirmed by a reliable source in May 2023. "Lori has her sights set on becoming the next influential couple in Hollywood," the insider revealed. "Lori greatly admires Damson, and the feeling is mutually reciprocated."
Just a few months prior to her announcement of her relationship with Idris, Harvey revealed her criteria for a partner on Bumble's Luv2SeeIt YouTube series: "transparency, openness, and communication," she stated.
"In the past, I didn't really have a clear sense of self or know my preferences. It felt like I hadn't truly experienced life," she reflected in August 2022, referring to a previous relationship that she didn't specify. "So, at that point, I made the decision to date on my own terms. I would pursue whatever I wanted and do whatever felt right for me. And if something no longer served me, I would let it go and move forward."
