Michael B. Jordan Reveals He Deals w/ ‘Loneliness’ As He Opens Up About How His Career Conflicts w/ His Dating Life: ‘I Gotta Start Living, I’ve Sacrificed & Zoned In For So Long’

Michael B. Jordan is one of the biggest Hollywood stars, but it looks like putting his career first can impact his love life.

In a new episode of the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty,” podcast, the Creed star shared that he’s conflicted about dating right now because he goes “back and forth between wanting partnership and then not knowing what’s the best partner for me.” He pointed to his sole focus on his career as one of the reasons. Michael B. Jordan said, in part, 

“I gotta start living. I’ve sacrificed and I’ve zoned in for so long.”

He explained he’s “not looking” for a relationship but is not against it either.

“It would take a very special to understand and grow with me.”

Regarding what he’s looking for in the dating world, he described someone who “understands all of me and all that comes with me as well.”

Michael B. Jordan broke down his ideal person as someone who understands he’s trying to find “that balance between wanting to be available and there for that person while I’m juggling everything else.”

But the Black Panther actor conveyed that bringing someone into his life “isn’t easy,” especially with his workload and career. He believes dating and love aren’t simple.

“It’s not just ‘I love you, you love me” and while love “should be enough…it’s not quite that simple.”

While Michael B. Jordan isn’t focused on romance right now, he shared that he’s lonely. The actor and film producer shared, 

“There’s a loneliness that I have. The responsibility that you have is isolating and the weight is isolating.”

He added,

“The worst part of that is the feeling like nobody really understands. Sometimes falling into the spaces of being alone, feeling alone.”

Nevertheless, Jordan doesn’t seem to have ruled out romance forever, as he confirmed he does “want a family eventually.”

He teased,

“We’ll see what’s up.”
