Appearing virtually onJimmy Kimmel Live!Thursday, the 64-year-oldFamily Feudhost shared his approval of his stepdaughter’s romance with Jordan, 34, and poked fun at the actor’s reigning title as PEOPLE’s2020 Sexiest Man Alive.
“First of all, let’s be clear about something. He is a nice guy,” Steve told hostKimmel, jokingly adding, “He is not the sexiest man alive to me. At all.”
Steve also cracked some jokes about Jordan renting out anentire aquariumas a Valentine’s Day gift to Lori, 24, earlier this month. (Jordan also treated the model to a luxurious private dinner in one of the underwater tunnels).
“Yeah, well good luck homie ‘cause Valentine’s come every year,” Steve joked. “So I don’t know if you know how this works or not, but I don’t know how you gonna top that, but good look partner.”

“It was really nice what he did, I’m happy for him,” he continued. “He’s a great guy. I met his father and everything but that was a lot, I don’t know where he’s going from here so hopefully maybe he’ll makeCreed4, 5 and 6.”
Fallon then asked Steve if he would prefer that his daughters’ suitors, Jordan included, read hisrelationship advice books. “I think it’s better if my daughters would read the damn book. That would be the smarter move,” he jokingly responded.
“Look man, when your kids grow up they can make decisions on their own,” said Steve. “I’m just happy that I can at least approve of one.”
