Lori Harvey and Damson Idris went Instagram official with their romance after weeks of speculation, when Damson posted a shot of him kissing Lori on his Instagram story with the caption“Happy Birthday, Nunu,” accompanied by red heart. The two set the internet ablaze as he also shared a photo of her seemingly on the set of Snowfall, with her posing with a ton of prop money. The confirmation comes almost a month after Damson and Lori sparked dating rumors when the two had dinner together in Los Angeles. It is no secret that Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan parted ways in June leaving fans thinking that Lori cheated, but the model/socialite who has been linked to several high profile men is moving on. So just who is her new beau?
He grew up in Peckham, a neighborhood in South London, where his Nigerian mother raised six children on her own. “I remember it was always loud in the house. People were always having conversations, people were always playing music,” the actor told GQ in 2022. “We were poor, but [if] things are always happening, you didn’t really know that you were poor.”
Initially, he wanted to play football or soccer, but one of his sisters encouraged him to study drama at college. Damson appeared at the West End’s Arcola Theatre at age 21 in Pandora’s Box in 2012. “I still remember the first laugh I got from the audience when I knew—I’m gonna do this,” he told GQ.
