Why did Michael B Jordan and Lori Harvey end their relationship?

Michael and Lori were confirmed to have broken up on June 4, 2022, by a source close to the couple. The insider told Entertainment Tonight that their relationship ended after roughly a year and a half of dating because they were reportedly at different stages in their lives and had different expectations from their respective partner. Jordan, who was 35 at the time, had matured significantly and was reportedly ready to commit for the long term and settle down. The source stated that he "let down his guard" with Lori, which made his relationship with her different from those with his exes. Mentioning that Michael was more emotionally invested in the relationship, the insider stated:

"Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken. They still love each other. Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time. They had great times together and brought out the best in each other."

Another source echoed similar sentiments, telling PEOPLE about Lori Harvey's views on the relationship with Michael. On June 6, 2022, they stated that the former couple had divergent life goals. According to the source, Lori, who was 25 at the time, was not ready for the level of commitment Michael wanted from her. She didn't want to settle down yet and wanted to focus on her career and "have fun and be free." Reports indicated that when the duo began planning their future, they realised they were not on the same page. Although they were both heartbroken that the relationship had ended, the split was inevitable. The source was quoted as:

"[Lori] wasn't ready to commit. She is very focused on her career. [She] realised that they weren't on the same page [while they] were making plans for their future. She still wants to have fun and be free. Michael is a great guy. She is sad that their relationship didn't work out, but she is moving on."
