“I don’t want you all to have beef because that’s messy.

“How would you feel, are you cool if I’m still cool with my exes?”

Teyana Taylor agreed with Lori as she suggested people who remain close with each other after a break-up should try to work out their relationship, instead of dating someone new.

Talking about what makes her feel powerful when dating, Lori explained that she likes to not compromise on her standards and values.

Lori said: “There are some superficial requirements that we can kind of compromise because they aren’t important, if they are someone who cares about you and has your best interest at heart.

“I feel like we can compromise on some of those things, but as long as you’re not compromising on your core values and beliefs.

“I’m very much in a space right now where I am not doing anything that is going to compromise my peace and happiness.”

Lori admitted that her communication has improved since her most recent relationship, while adding that she isn’t looking for the same things when dating now as she was four years ago.

Teyana encouraged her to live her life without any regrets as Lori claimed there isn’t anything that she knows now that she wishes she had known sooner.

Before dating Michael B. Jordan, who is a decade her senior, Lori had high profile relationships with musicians Diddy and Future.

A source told People that while Michael was ready to commit long-term, Lori wants to continue focusing on her career and having fun.
