Whether he’s demanding attention on-screen or flashing that devastating smile off it, Michael B. Jordan and his real-life romances have been the subject of just as much fascination as his characters’ entanglements. Now, thanks to his electric turn in Sinners — where the chemistry with his co-stars is almost too convincing — the Michael B. Jordan girlfriend search has officially broken the algorithm.
From headline-grabbing flings and palpable co-star connections that have fans hanging off every red carpet interaction, to his romance with Lori Harvey and the lowkey whispers swirling around Taylor Russell, we’re breaking down every girlfriend, every rumour, and every moment that had the internet spiralling.
After setting our pulses racing in Sinners (seriously, the chemistry with Hailee Steinfeld and Wunmi Mosaku deserves its own Oscar), fans need something to sink their teeth into and we’re more than happy to oblige with a deep dive into the actor and producer’s relationship history – past to present.
Michael B. Jordan Girlfriend & Dating History Timeline
2025: His Sinners Co-Stars
Playing identical twins Smoke and Stack in Ryan Coogler’s (Black Panther) gothic vampire film Sinners, he stars opposite Hailee Steinfeld and Wunmi Mosaku, and the pairing is… palpable, to say the least. With Steinfeld, there’s a slow-burn magnetism that feels almost too real; with Mosaku, an intense push-pull dynamic that practically sizzles off the screen.
It’s no wonder that “Michael B Jordan girlfriend” searches have skyrocketed since the film’s release. While there’s no official off-screen romance with either actress (Hailee is engaged to NFL player, Josh Allen), the Sinners press tour has only fuelled speculation, thanks to lingering glances, playful banter, and one particular red carpet interview where Jordan was left visibly blushing.
Don’t get us wrong, we love a co-stars to couple storyline as much as the next person, but this one will have to stay on-script – at least for now.
2025: Taylor Russell
Rumours first started swirling that Michael B Jordan might be dating Bones and All actress – and soon-to-be co-star in The Thomas Crown Affair – Taylor Russell earlier this year.
After they were spotted leaving the same New York hotspot (and following each other on Instagram, might we add), fans immediately began connecting dots.
But it wasn’t until a recent sighting on the streets of London, where the pair appeared casually comfortable with each other, that the Internet really started speculating.
Though neither has confirmed the relationship, if true, it’s a pairing that makes perfect sense: both actors are talented, stylish, and notoriously lowkey when it comes to their private lives. And honestly, after Russell’s headline-making romance with one of the world’s biggest pop stars, we don’t blame them for wanting to keep things quiet.
2020-2022: Lori Harvey
Michael B. Jordan quietly began dating his then-girlfriend Lori Harvey in late 2020, and by early 2021 the lovers were Instagram official.
“There’s a premeditated planning of staying out of the way [of the public eye] that sometimes kills spontaneity and intimacy,” Jordan told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. “I wanted to take that away and give this the best chance it had, in this weird world that we live in, to be somewhat normal. Long story short, I think it’s just the timing of everything. It was the right time for me. Yeah. I’m happy.”
Fans were obsessed – and not just because they looked ridiculously good together, but because Jordan, famously guarded about his personal life, was visibly in it. They made red carpet appearances together, posted loved-up Valentine’s Day tributes and even survived multiple rounds of engagement rumours.
Their secret to staying strong throughout it all? Communication and balance: “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? We have a conversation about it, like, ‘You want to post this or we keep this to ourselves?’,” Harvey shared with Bustle in June 2021.
“We know there are people that love and support us and want to see us,” she added. “So [we want to] give just enough, but keep the majority of it just for us. We’re trying to find a balance.”
Unfortunately, by June 2022, the pair had reportedly broken up. Sources claimed “they weren’t on the same page” with Harvey allegedly not ready to settle down, while Jordan was “making plans for their future.” The breakup was heartbreak-level news and even included Lori’s famous television host father, Steve Harvey, entering the chat. “Things happen,” he admitted at the time. “It’s hard to be young and in the limelight and have a successful relationship. Look, as long as everybody can walk away in peace, be friends… I ain’t heard nobody say they busted no windows or nothing.”
2019: Kiki Layne
After being spotted getting cozy with If Beale Street Could Talk star Kiki Layne at a Sundance Film Festival afterparty, fans thought a romance might’ve been brewing. But again, there’s was no hard confirmation. Jordan kept it moving – and kept his private life to himself.
2015: Kendall Jenner
In 2015, TMZ snapped Jordan leaving a Met Gala afterparty with model Kendall Jenner, setting the internet ablaze with mixed opinions.
“It’s the world we live in,” Jordan said of the hostile response at the time. “They see white and black. I don’t. Kendall’s a friend of mine, you know. I don’t know her, like, that well, but I know her enough. People’s perspective on that is what it is… I don’t live my life to make other people happy. It’s so weird, though, right? A lot of black fans were feeling like, ‘Oh, my God, he should have been with a black woman’ and that whole thing. I get it, but on the other hand it’s, like, relax. You know—it’s 2015. It’s okay! People can like one another, not necessarily from the same history or culture or whatever the fuck it is. It’s just the new world, you know what I mean?”
While he quickly shut down dating speculation, it proved what we all now know – interest in the Friday Night Lights actor’s dating life has always courted attention.
Whether he’s breaking hearts on screen or off, Michael B. Jordan’s love life never stays out of the spotlight for long. With Sinners sparking fresh dating rumours (and, let’s be honest, some wishful thinking), it’s clear fans aren’t letting the Michael B. Jordan girlfriend mystery go anytime soon. And honestly? Neither are we.
