Harvey and Idris say their "individual paths require full attention and dedication", but they will stay friends
Damson Idris and Lori Harvey have ended their relationship to focus on their own lives, the couple have said.
Snowfall actor Damson dated model and entrepreneur Lori for about a year in a high-profile relationship.
In a joint statement to The Hollywood Reporter, the pair said they were "at a point in our lives where our individual paths require full attention and dedication".
They added that they would remain on good terms.
"We part ways remaining friends, with nothing but love and respect for each other and the time we shared together."
The news comes following days of speculation - after the pair removed images and unfollowed each other on their Instagram pages.
BBC News has contacted representatives of both stars for comment.
The couple reportedly started dating around December 2022, later confirming that they were together.
In February, when asked by Rolling Stone about about his experience of dating another celebrity, Damson said: "I think my advice to anyone who walks down that path is to just keep it as regular and normal as possible and really, really connect to each other and not the outside forces around."
Lori, 26, is the step-daughter of US entertainer Steve Harvey - who later became her adoptive father. She has attracted media interest with a string of high-profile relationships, including with actor Michael B Jordan and rapper Future.
Damson, one of many black British actors who found their breakout roles in the US, won best actor at the BET Awards this year.
The 32-year-old is set to star alongside Brad Pitt in an untitled film about Formula 1. The pair were seen in July filming at Silverstone for an Apple film which Lewis Hamilton hopes to produce.
