NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE

Model Lori Harvey is tired of being known only for her looks and who she's dating

- MELON RADEBE

SHE has a list of accomplishments as long as her slender arm: sought-after model, successful social media influencer, skilled businesswoman, ambitious S entrepreneur...

Yet it seems every time Lori Harvey makes headlines it has more to do with what's happening in her love life than anything she does professionally.

And recently this was the case once again when she stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday on the arm of her new man, hunky British actor Damson Idris (31).

The couple went public with their relationship six months after she broke up with Michael B Jordan (36), the Without Remorse star she'd dated for more than a year.

Sources say Michael was ready to settle down and get more serious, but Lori just wasn't quite there yet. He even went so far as splurging $12 million (R203m) on a mansion he hoped would be their forever home. But alas, it wasn't to be.

"Lori still wants to have fun and be free, an insider says. "Michael is a great guy. She's sad that their relationship didn't work out, but she's moving on.

The news of her latest romance sparked a backlash with fans questioning how she could hop from man to man - and how indeed she could dump poor Michael, one of the hottest hotties in Hollywood.

But Lori is used to people having an opinion about her love life. "It can be tough at times, especially because I'm a super-private person," she admits.

Still, she isn't about to apologize for taking charge of her life and says she won't settle for anything less than she feels she deserves.

"But what I'd love for people to know is that I'm a young woman just trying to figure it out," she says.

Here's everything you need to know about the person behind the beauty who's setting tongues wagging.
