American actor Michael B. Jordan is taking some time to focus on himself before diving back into the dating scene.
In a recent episode of the podcast “On Purpose with Jay Shetty,” Jordan opened up about feeling lonely due to the responsibilities and pressures of his work.
The actor admitted that his busy schedule and constant juggling act have left him feeling isolated at times. “There’s a loneliness that I have. The responsibility that you have is isolating and the weight is isolating,” Jordan shared. “The worst part of that is the feeling like nobody really understands. Sometimes falling into the spaces of being alone, feeling alone.”
Despite grappling with loneliness, Jordan confessed that he is unsure about what he wants in a partner at the moment. “I go back and forth between wanting partnership and then not knowing what’s the best partner for me,” he revealed.
Jordan also reflected on the complexities of love and relationships. He acknowledged that while saying “I love you” is important, it takes more than that to make a relationship work. The “Creed” star emphasized the need for understanding, growth, and shared experiences in a meaningful partnership.
Part of Jordan’s struggle stems from his intense focus on his career, which has left little room for other aspects of life. He acknowledged that he hasn’t had the chance to truly explore and enjoy life outside of work. “There’s also a part of me that really hasn’t lived life yet. … I haven’t traveled for fun,” he admitted. “I gotta start living. I’ve sacrificed and I’ve zoned in for so long.”
Despite his current stance on dating, Jordan expressed his desire to start a family in the future. He emphasized the importance of finding a special person who can understand and grow with him as he navigates his personal and professional life.
While Jordan has been linked to high-profile celebrities like Lori Harvey, Kendall Jenner, and KiKi Layne, he seems to be taking a step back from the dating scene for now.
The actor, who was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2020, is prioritizing self-discovery and personal growth before embarking on his next romantic relationship.
