Michael B. Jordan is single in 2026. The Sinners star, who won Best Actor at this year's Oscars, has not been in a confirmed relationship since he and model Lori Harvey broke up in June 2022 — and no, he did not secretly marry Tessa Thompson. But two stories have his love life trending again this summer: fans caught him liking Instagram posts of Sol from Love Island USA, and a viral post falsely claimed he and Thompson tied the knot. Here's what's actually true.
The Sol Instagram Likes: What Actually Happened
As Love Island USA dominates summer TV, viewers noticed something fun: Michael B. Jordan had liked an Instagram post from current islander Sol — including her birthday post from November 2025, when she turned 24, before she ever entered the villa. Sol herself has mentioned the like, and clips dissecting it have racked up millions of views on TikTok.
So are they dating? Almost certainly not. By all accounts, the two have never met in person. Jordan is also a known reality-TV fan who regularly likes posts from non-celebrities — Sol isn't even the first islander to get his attention. He previously liked a post from Andreina Santos of Love Island USA Season 7. The likes prove he watches the show, not that he's coupled up. Curious about the woman at the center of the buzz?

Did Michael B. Jordan Marry Tessa Thompson? No — Here's the Truth
A post claiming Jordan and Tessa Thompson got married went viral this year, complete with "wedding" photos. It's completely false. Fact-checkers found the images appear to be AI-generated — they don't exist anywhere on either actor's official accounts or in any credible outlet, and neither star has ever announced a relationship.
The confusion is understandable. Jordan and Thompson have played Adonis Creed and Bianca — one of Hollywood's most beloved on-screen couples — across the Creed franchise for a decade. Thompson has joked they're like an "old married couple" and even called Jordan her "work husband" amid Creed 4 chatter. That's affection between longtime co-stars, not a wedding announcement. Off-screen, they are friends. Nothing more.
Michael B. Jordan's Dating History: Lori Harvey and Beyond
Jordan has kept his romantic life famously private, with one big exception. He dated Lori Harvey, model, entrepreneur and stepdaughter of Steve Harvey, from around November 2020 to June 2022. It was his first fully public relationship — the couple posted each other openly — which made the breakup sting for fans. People reported at the time that the two were simply at different stages of their lives; the pair also had a roughly 10-year age gap.
Since then, the trail goes quiet. There was brief, unconfirmed speculation in early 2025 linking him to actress Taylor Russell, but neither ever addressed it. Harvey, for her part, has moved on and has been linked again to British actor Damson Idris as of early 2026. Jordan has said in past interviews that he prefers to keep relationships out of the spotlight after seeing how public scrutiny affected his last one.
Why Michael B. Jordan Is Everywhere Right Now: The Sinners Oscar
Part of why every like and rumor blows up: Jordan is having the biggest year of his career. In March 2026 he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for playing twin brothers Smoke and Stack in Ryan Coogler's Sinners, becoming just the sixth Black man to win the lead actor Oscar. The vampire thriller earned a record 16 nominations, won four statuettes, and grossed around $370 million worldwide. When the newly minted Oscar winner likes a Love Island contestant's photo, the internet notices.
Bottom line: Michael B. Jordan is not married, not confirmed to be dating anyone, and very much focused on his career in 2026. The Sol likes are a fun footnote, and the Tessa Thompson wedding never happened.
