Steve Harveysays his daughterLori Harveyis “in a really good place in her life right now"after her splitfromMichael B. Jordan.
On Tuesday, Steve, 65, said during hisappearance onToday with Hoda and Jennathat while he is “not allowed to talk about anything” regarding his daughter’s personal life, he’s confident that Lori, 25, has “done a really good job of figuring it out and getting it right.”
“I’m not allowed to talk about anything. I’ve given her advice quite a few times but you know, it’s difficult ‘cause she’s 25,” Steve continued. “She’s growing up as a public figure. She doesn’t get to make her mistakes like everybody else. Everybody else gets to make their mistakes in the cloak of darkness at your house. Hers gets publicized.”
“But she’s done a really good job of figuring it out and getting it right,” he added. “And I think she’s in a really good place in her life right now. I think she’s content with Lori and I think that’s a great place for her to start from.”
AfterTodaycohostHoda Kotbpraised Lori forasserting she’s “being a little selfish right now"in her recentEssencemagazine cover story, Steve asserted that the best relationships come “when you get the best out of yourself.”
“If you come into a relationship wanting, needing, empty — when you come in empty, a person can pour into you whatever they want,” Steve said onToday. “But if you come in full? I’m already full so now I need you to make additions.”
“I don’t need you to pour anything in me,” the comedian added, wrapping up his advice. “That usually don’t work out.”
