Bolu Babalola is a testimony of how the universe works when we speak things into existence and being in the right place at the right time. The 27-year-old London journalist tweeted a photoshopped picture of himself and the Creed II star right before Thanksgiving. She told Buzzfeed her friend had actually photoshopped the picture to poke fun at her crush for him.
“I met this guy on holiday this summer,” she jokingly captioned the photo, “we had a such a great connection but I changed my number and we lost touch. Twitter do your thing.”

It’s upsetting me and my homegirls that people think this is photoshop. Please have some respect and stop being so cynical. Respect romance and stop trying to interrupt the course of true love. 🙏🏿 what’s understood don’t need to be explained❤. 📸 @FUERTESKNIGHT

Eventually, Babalola did see Jordan during a Creed II Q&A session in London.
I stood up& asked a question about tenderness&romance in the film despite the brutality (💅🏿)&then I was like “um so speaking of romance” and then I was ended up being like “remember last summer” and explained but he KNEW& THEN HE SAID “you know we have to get a pic right?” And I pic.twitter.com/8L4Kje6pGW

The actor responded to her question and suggested they should take a real picture. Babalola posted the real deal on her Twitter Wednesday [Nov. 28] with the caption, Ms. Steal Your Man. Case Closed.” The photo has gotten over 4,300 retweets.

Jordan later retweeted her original photoshopped picture, saying “Happy Twitter did it’s thing – Great meeting you (for the second time)”
