Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan recently ended their relationship. According to PEOPLE magazine, the Hollywood heartthrobs have ended their year-plus long relationship, and both are completely heartbroken.

On his podcast, Shaq said, “his heart is not broken but sometimes for things to happen early is a blessing. Sometimes you don’t want to bring the ice cream home and before it has melted.. spoilt. Let me start off by saying this. The world is different. I don’t like people that get in other people’s business if miss Harvey wants to date other people. She should be free”.

Further, Harvey’s mother also took to social media to talk about the issue. She shared a cryptic video message from actress Jennifer Lewis on her Instagram Stories, two days after news surfaced, that her daughter Lori had split from Michael B. Jordan after more than a year of dating. The post said “You sit in s**t too long, it stops smelling,” Jennifer said in the six-second clip. “So come the f**k outta there.”
