Lori Harvey is the daughter of Marjorie Harvey (née Bridges).[1][2] The identity of her biological father is not public knowledge.[3] In 2007, her mother married comedian Steve Harvey, who later adopted her.[4][5] She was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia.[6] Harvey was a competitive equestrian, and aspired to compete at the Olympic Games.[7] She later attended college in Florida, before dropping out due to an injury, which prevented her from continuing her work as an equestrian.[8]
In 2015, she began a career in modeling,[9] signing modeling contracts with LA Model Management agency in the United States, and Select Model Management in Europe.[10] Harvey has walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana's 2017 Spring/Summer collection;[11] and has appeared in campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana,[12] Michael Kors,[13] Valentino,[14] Pat McGrath's Beauty Lab,[15] and Burberry.[16] In 2019, Harvey made a cameo in the music video for "Motivation" by singer Normani.[17][18] She has also been featured on the covers of Instagram's The Zine[19] and Wonderland.[20]

The video faced criticism from health experts who warned of the potential dangers that participating in the diet could cause someone.[23][24] In June 2022, Kim Kardashian faced backlash after she announced the launch of a skincare line named SKKN by Kim, which some Twitter users felt was too similar to Harvey's company name.[25] The following month, it was announced that Harvey signed a modeling contract with IMG Models and William Morris Endeavor (WME).[26]

She was also linked with the rapper Future; the pair confirmed their relationship in January 2020, and broke up in August of that year.[32] Future later took aim at Harvey on his featured verse on the song "Maybach" by 42 Dugg, with the lyrics "Magic City, I'm the owner. Tell Steve Harvey, I don't want her".[33]
In November 2020, Harvey began dating actor Michael B. Jordan.[34] In December 2021, Jordan declared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, that he "finally found what love was" with Harvey.[35] In June 2022, it was reported that the couple had ended their relationship.[36]
