Michael B Jordan Has Big Age Gap With Ex-GF, Lori Harvey, Did It Lead To Oscars 2026 Winner’s Split?

Hollywood star, Michael B Jordan is currently leading the headlines due to his first-time Oscar win on March 15, 2026. He made history by becoming one of only six people of colour to win Best Actor. His performance in Sinners truly impressed fans worldwide, making his 98th Academy Award win well-deserved. As glimpses of the actor from the star-studded event at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre went viral, the spotlight fell on his relationship status, particularly his ex-girlfriend, Lori Harvey, and their age gap.

What is Michael B Jordan and Lori Harvey’s age gap? Did it contribute to their breakup?

Actor, Michael B Jordan, was born in Santa Ana, California, on February 9, 1987, which makes him 39 years old as of March 2026. Michael’s ex-girlfriend, model, Lori Harvey was born in Memphis, Tennessee on January 13, 1997, which makes her 29 years old as of March 2026. Thus, Michael and Lori share a 10-year age gap. Following the duo’s breakup, PEOPLE reported that the age gap contributed to them being at “different stages in their lives”, which ultimately caused their breakup. A source close to the couple confirmed that Michael and Lori had broken up on June 4, 2022. 

At that time, the insider told Entertainment Tonight that Michael and Lori’s age difference played a significant role in their differing expectations from their relationship. Jordan, who was 35 at the time, had matured significantly and was reportedly ready to commit to a long-term relationship and settle down. The source stated that he “let down his guard” with Lori, which made his relationship with her different from those with his exes. Mentioning that Michael was more emotionally invested in the relationship, the insider stated:

“Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken. They still love each other. Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time. They had great times together and brought out the best in each other.”

Another source told PEOPLE on June 6, 2022, about Lori Harvey’s views on the relationship with Michael. According to the source, Lori, who was 25 at the time, was not ready for the level of commitment Michael wanted from her. She didn’t want to settle down yet and wanted to focus on her career and “have fun and be free.” Reports indicated that when the duo began planning their future, they realised they were not on the same page. Although they were both “heartbroken” that the relationship had ended, the split was inevitable. The source was quoted as saying:

“[Lori] wasn’t ready to commit. She is very focused on her career. [She] realised that they weren’t on the same page [while they] were making plans for their future. She still wants to have fun and be free. Michael is a great guy. She is sad that their relationship didn’t work out, but she is moving on.”
