Lori Harvey: Younger Than She Appears

So, Lori Harvey, if you’re ever feeling a little bit like you almost got married, know that it was actually almost never actually that bad in the first place.

Lori Harvey actually almost got married when she was only 20 years old. At the time, she was in a relationship with international soccer player Memphis Depay, who proposed after a year of dating. “I’m 20 and my fiancé is 23 for everyone asking… yes we are young, but when it’s right, why wait?” Harvey announced on Twitter in 2017. “Young and in love @Memphis.”

But the following year, Harvey was spotted without a ring in sight, leading many to believe that the engagement had been called off. There was no formal announcement that they called it quits, but in a 2022 feature on Bumble’s “Luv2SeeIt” YouTube series, the SKN founder confessed that she was too naive when she got engaged. “I felt like I hadn’t really experienced anything. I didn’t really know myself, I didn’t really know what I liked, what I didn’t like,” she admitted. “I just feel like I hadn’t really experienced life.”

And while the relationship failed, it taught her an important lesson. “I grew up a lot and I learned a lot from that relationship,” she told Bustle. “And so, I think just as I’ve gotten older and developed as a woman, I’ve taken that knowledge with me: learning what I like, what I don’t like, and just applying that to where I’m at now.”
