Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey celebrated the Fourth of July weekend with a tropical getaway.
The social media star shared several Instagram Stories on Saturday, July 3 and Sunday, July 4, showing off her tropical location and her traveling buddy. “Vacation mode starts now,” she wrote over a video of lounge chairs overlooking an infinity pool and the ocean.
As the weekend went on, Harvey posted more snaps from her “baecation,” showing off how incredible she looks in a string bikini before panning over to her boyfriend, who has spent the whole weekend eating. She also let fans see some of their more intimate moments, sharing a kiss with Jordan in one snap and a peek at his hand resting on her thigh in another.
While the couple made their relationship public on Instagram back in January, it wasn’t a decision they made lightly.
“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?” Harvey told Bustle last month. “We know there are people that love and support us and want to see us. So [we want to] give just enough, but keep the majority of it just for us. We’re trying to find a balance.”
Just last month, Lori’s social media sharing got Jordan into some hot water, when her congratulatory message revealed the name of his new rum brand, J’Ouvert, causing fans accuse him of appropriating Caribbean culture. Even Nicki Minaj called out the Black Panther actor, joining in on the consensus that he should name his rum brand something else.
On June 22, he issued an apology on social media, insisting he would change the name while thanking those who brought the issue to his attention.
“I just wanna say on behalf of myself & my partners, our intention was never to offend or hurt a culture(we love & respect) & hoped to celebrate & shine a positive light on,” he wrote on his Instagram Story at the time. “Last few days has been a lot of listening. A lot of learning & engaging in countless community conversations...”
“We hear you. I hear you & want to be clear that we are in the process of renaming,” he continued. “We sincerely apologize & look forward to introducing a brand we can all be proud of.”
