Steve Harvey commented on his stepdaughter’s public romance with "Black Panther" star Michael B. Jordan.
The comedian and media personality, 64, spoke about Lori Harvey and her new beau during a Friday broadcast of "The Steve Harvey Morning Show" on iHeartRadio.
"I like this one. I still got my eye on him. I mean I like him, but like I say to all of 'em, 'I might like you, I might approve of you, but I got a thumb-size section of my heart filled with nothing but pure hatred for your a--. Just in case I need it,'" Harvey joked on his show. "Like right now? Nice guy. But I got this little section partner, where all I gotta do is click a switch and I can hate your a--."

The comedian doubled down on his jest by referencing Jordan’s "Sexiest Man Alive" cover for People magazine, which debuted in November 2020.
