Born on January 13, 1997, in Memphis, Tennessee, Lori was raised primarily by her mother, Marjorie Elaine Harvey. Marjorie married Steve Harvey in 2007, and he has since played an active role in Lori’s upbringing. Lori has two biological siblings, Jason and Morgan, and four step-siblings from Steve Harvey’s previous marriages: Brandi, Karli, Broderick Jr., and Wynton Harvey.

Lori initially attended traditional school until the seventh grade before transitioning to homeschool. Later, she graduated from a high school in Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout her early years, Lori was a competitive equestrian and aspired to compete at a professional level. However, a serious accident while training in Florida left her with a broken back and a torn cruciate ligament, ending her horseback riding ambitions.

Modeling Career

Following her injury, Lori shifted her focus to modeling. She made her debut in the fashion industry in 2015, quickly gaining attention for her poise and style. Lori has been featured in advertising campaigns for several high-end brands and has walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana at both Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks.

In addition to runway appearances, she has graced numerous magazine spreads and has cultivated a strong presence on social media, which has contributed significantly to her rising prominence in the fashion world. In 2017, she also appeared on her stepfather’s daytime talk show, further introducing her to a broader television audience.

Relationship with Memphis Depay

In February 2016, Lori’s relationship with Dutch professional footballer Memphis Depay became public when he posted a photo of the two embracing near the Eiffel Tower. In July 2017, Steve Harvey confirmed the couple's engagement via Twitter. However, by March 2018, it became apparent that they had parted ways, as Lori was seen without her engagement ring and neither party addressed the status of their relationship publicly.

Media Attention and Public Appearances

In August 2019, Lori drew public attention once more when paparazzi photos surfaced of her vacationing in Italy with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and members of her family, including Steve and Marjorie Harvey. The gathering prompted widespread speculation, especially since Lori had previously been linked to Diddy’s son, Justin Combs. While neither party officially confirmed a relationship, sightings of Diddy and Lori spending time together in New York City and abroad fueled ongoing media intrigue.
