She was first rumored to be with Jordan in November.
The pair's decision to go Instagram official was a long time coming. Jordan and Harvey were first spotted together just before Thanksgiving.

The couple also apparently spent New Year's Eve together, as The Sunobtained photos of Harvey and Jordan arriving in Salt Lake City. Both reportedly posted photos and videos of their snowboarding trip to Instagram, although they didn't tag or post about one another.
She's been linked to high-profile celebs before.
This isn't Harvey's first time dating in the spotlight. She was previously linked to Sean "Diddy" Combs' son, Justin, according to Us Weekly, as well as rapper Trey Songz. In the fall of 2019, Harvey was rumored to be with Future before parting ways in August 2020. Back in June 2017, she was engaged to Dutch soccer player Memphis Depay, which Steve posted about on Instagram. But the pair reportedly split in 2018.
She's the stepdaughter of Steve Harvey.
Harvey was born in Memphis, Tennessee and grew up in both Atlanta and Chicago, as reported by Vogue. Her mother, Marjorie, met the Family Feud host in 1990, and they married in 2007, according to Good Housekeeping. (Steve reportedly adopted Lori after marrying her mother.) "My parents did a good job of keeping us out of the spotlight and letting us have a normal childhood so we could be kids and not live life under a microscope," she told Vogue.

"I feel like you don’t see a lot of color in the fashion industry in general. You just don’t. I think I was one of five girls backstage at the show that was African-American," Harvey told BET of her modeling career. "Of course it was an honor, but it also shows girls that look like me that you can do this too, you can break into this industry and play a huge role in it. It’s very achievable, it’s very possible. So, I think it’s very important to hold open the door for the next person and the next generation of girls that see me and are like, okay, I can do that."
She previously wanted to be an equestrian.
Prior to modeling, Harvey was an accomplished horseback rider and planned on pursuing the sport professionally. "I wanted to be a professional equestrian," she told Voguein 2018. "But I got injured badly a few years ago, so now I only ride leisurely." According to the outlet, Harvey's passion for beauty began at age 13, when she began attending events with her mother. "I'd sit, watch, and ask the makeup artist questions," she explained to Vogue. "Then I'd go in my bathroom and try to recreate those looks."
