TheBlack Pantherstar posted two portraits of him and Harvey, whose father is Steve Harvey, including one photo of the pair smiling at one another in a close embrace.
In November, Jordan told PEOPLEwhat he was looking for in a romantic partner.
“A sense of humor, true understanding, because [an actor’s] life is not conducive to a relationship—it’s really not,” he said, revealing the personality traits he thinks are most important for a successful relationship.
“Somebody that’s nurturing. I’ve got a list. That’s probably why my ass is still single, but yeah, it’s a list,” Jordan added.
As for the perfect date night, theCreedstar said: “The freedom to go wherever I wanted in public, not worry about paparazzi. Enjoy somebody’s company. Go for a drive, dope playlist. Drive somewhere just for dessert. I’m definitely a movie guy, and then I’d ride the vibe for the rest of the night.”
