Jordan's Pregnancy: Best Man's Surprise

Jordan Armstrong is a character in the classic dramedy franchise The Best Man. In the series, Jordan is an accomplished executive at MSNBC who struggles with managing her stress and self-care. Her work-life balance is so disproportionate that she never found a long-term romance. It took a near pregnancy for her to learn that she had to prioritize herself, leading her to leave her job to focus on self-improvement. In the final moments of the series, Jordan is seen to be close to Harper, but it is unclear if they end up together.

Jordan and Harper's relationship

In *The Best Man: The Final Chapters*, Harper and his wife, Robyn, are going through a divorce. This, along with a drunken night involving a kiss between Jordan and Harper, sparks speculation about a potential romantic future for the pair. However, Jordan makes it clear to Harper that she can't be his "soft place to land" and that he won't get over his divorce any time soon. She leaves any possibility of a relationship between them up to fate, sealing the notion with another kiss.

In the final moments of the series, two years have passed, and the group of friends have gathered to celebrate Harper's latest achievement as a writer. Although Jordan and Harper appear to still be close, there is no indication that they have finally become a couple.

Jordan's work-life balance

Jordan is an accomplished executive at MSNBC who struggles with managing her stress and self-care. Her work takes up so much of her life that she has never found a long-term romance. Jordan's work-life balance is so skewed that it took a near-pregnancy for her to learn that she had to start prioritising her own needs. This realisation led Jordan to leave her job at MSNBC to focus on herself.

Jordan's ex-boyfriend from college

Jordan, played by Nia Long, is an accomplished executive at MSNBC who struggles with managing her stress and self-care. Her work-life balance is so disproportionate that she has never found a long-term romance. It takes a near pregnancy for her to realize that she needs to prioritize herself, leading her to leave her job and focus on self-improvement.

In the final moments of the series, it is revealed that Jordan and Harper (Taye Diggs) do not end up together. Two years later, the crew (sans Robin) gathers to celebrate Harper's latest achievement as a writer, and although he and Jordan remain close, there is no indication of a romantic relationship.

Jordan's near pregnancy

In the series "The Best Man: The Final Chapters", Jordan Armstrong, played by Nia Long, is an accomplished executive at MSNBC who struggles with managing her stress and self-care. Her work-life balance is so disproportionate that she never found a long-term romance. It took a near pregnancy for her to learn that she had to prioritize herself, leading her to leave her job to focus on herself.

Jordan's character in the series ironically reflects Long's personal life. Long's partner, former Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka, was exposed for cheating on her with a married woman. Similarly, Jordan Armstrong in "The Best Man: The Final Chapters" was involved with Harper, a married person.

Jordan's career

Ironically, Jordan's departure from her role may benefit her career in the long run. As a mother, she may have been able to reduce her workload and successfully juggle both executive responsibilities and parenthood.
