Michael B. Jordan is once again the center of dating rumors, this time with singer RAYE, after the two were spotted together on rides at Six Flags Magic Mountain in early August. A source close to RAYE says the two “really like each other” and have already been on several dinner dates before their theme park outing went public. Given how private Jordan has historically kept his love life, any new name attached to him is enough to send fans into a frenzy, and his dating history is a lot longer and more interesting than most people realize.
Jordan’s earliest known romantic link dates back to January 2014, when he was spotted with social media personality Catherine Paiz in Miami Beach. Neither party ever confirmed anything came of it, and Paiz later went on to marry Austin McBroom.

The following year, in 2015, Jordan was romantically linked to Kendall Jenner after the two were seen together on multiple occasions. Jordan directly addressed the speculation in a GQ interview, pushing back on backlash from fans who felt he should be dating a Black woman, saying plainly that it was 2015 and people should be allowed to like each other regardless of background.

In 2016, Jordan was connected to real estate agent Gisselle Meneses-Nunez in what she later described as a situationship, though the two reportedly remained friends and even continued speaking about real estate years later. By January 2019, rumors linked him to his “If Beale Street Could Talk” costar Kiki Layne, with the two later spotted spending an entire night together at Tao Nightclub in Utah during Sundance Film Festival, including reports of them kissing on the cheek before leaving in the same car. Around the same period, Jordan also sparked speculation with his “Black Panther“ costar Lupita Nyong’o after the two were seen getting flirty together, though nothing was ever confirmed.
May 2019 brought another rumored connection, this time with French model Cindy Bruna, after the two had dinner together in New York City. That same year, fans speculated about a possible romance with singer Snoh Aalegra after Jordan appeared in her steamy music video for “Woah,” though he later downplayed his dating life in general during an interview with WSJ Magazine, joking that Los Angeles was not exactly the easiest place to date.

Everything changed in late 2020, when Jordan was first spotted with Lori Harvey, Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter, at an Atlanta airport around Thanksgiving. The two made their relationship Instagram official on January 10, 2021, marking the first time Jordan had ever publicly confirmed a romance. Their relationship became his most high-profile to date, lasting nearly a year and a half before the two split in June 2022. Reports at the time pointed to their ten-year age gap as a factor, with Harvey reportedly not ready to settle down while Jordan was said to be interested in starting a family. After the breakup, fans noticed Harvey had quietly removed all photos of Jordan from her Instagram, and briefly posted, then deleted, a since-talked-about story referencing a car plate that read “DUMPHIM,” widely interpreted as shade aimed at her ex.

After Harvey, Jordan largely returned to keeping his love life private, though reports surfaced that he had started seeing UK-based model Amber Jepson, described as being in the early stages of a relationship at the time. The two were said to have connected around Jordan’s investment in English football club AFC Bournemouth. During the most recent awards season, Jordan notably brought his mother as his date, further reinforcing just how guarded he has remained about his personal life, all while telling outlets directly that he is ready to start a family.
Now, with RAYE entering the picture, fans are watching closely to see whether this becomes something more serious or simply another rumored connection in a long list of them. Given Jordan’s track record of staying quiet until a relationship is truly ready for the spotlight, it may be a while before fans get real confirmation either way. But if his past is any indication, whatever happens next will likely stay mostly behind closed doors until Jordan himself decides otherwise.
