LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Michael B Jordan is opening up about his relationship status, admitting he’s ‘lonely.’

During his appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast ’On Purpose', the ‘Creed’ star explained that "juggling the balancing act" in work has ultimately left him feeling lonely.

According to the US Weekly, Jordan said, “There’s a loneliness that I have. The responsibility that you have is isolating and the weight is isolating.”

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

Michael B Jordan believes in family

Despite not being ready to mingle, “I go back and forth between wanting partnership and then not knowing what’s the best partner for me," he continued.

The ‘Without Remorse’ star also said, “It’s not just ‘I love you, you love me,’” and noted it “should be enough” to just love your partner. “It’s not quite that simple.”

Jordan said he’s looking for someone to “understand all of me and all that comes with me as well.” His perfect partner would understand his desire for “that balance between wanting to be available and there for that person while I’m juggling everything else.”
