Steve Harvey, the renowned American comedian, TV host, actor, and author, has been married to Marjorie Harvey since 2007.
Marjorie, born Marjorie Bridges on October 10, 1964, in Memphis, Tennessee, has become a significant figure in her own right, known for her fashion sense, philanthropy, and role as a supportive partner and mother.
Early Life and Career
Marjorie grew up in Memphis and briefly attended the University of Memphis before deciding that a college degree wasn’t necessary for her career aspirations. Instead, she pursued her passion for fashion and travel, attending fashion shows globally from Hollywood to Paris.
This passion eventually led her to become a social media influencer with over 3 million followers on Instagram, where she shares insights into her fashion endeavours, family life, and charitable activities.
Meeting Steve Harvey
The story of how Marjorie met Steve Harvey is almost cinematic. In 1990, while Steve was performing at a comedy club in Memphis, Marjorie walked in late. Steve, struck by her presence, stopped his routine to stare at her, later humorously declaring to the audience that he would marry her.
Despite an initial connection, they parted ways after a brief dating period due to Steve’s focus on his career and financial stability. However, fate brought them back together in 2005, and they married in 2007.
Family Life
Marjorie and Steve have a blended family of seven children. Marjorie has three children from her previous marriage into the relationship: Morgan, Jason, and Lori, all of whom Steve adopted after their marriage.
Steve also has four children from his previous marriages: Brandi, Karli, Broderick Jr., and Wynton. The couple has worked diligently to create a harmonious family environment, with Marjorie often sharing their family moments on social media, showcasing their close-knit bond.
Together, Steve and Marjorie founded The Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation in 2010, aimed at providing youth outreach services to under-resourced communities.
Marjorie plays an active role in the foundation, particularly through her initiative “Girls Who Rule The World,” which focuses on mentoring young girls to develop positive self-esteem and succeed in education.
Public Life and Controversies
Marjorie Harvey has been in the public eye not just for her marriage but also for her stylish influence and active social media presence. Recently, she and Steve have had to address rumors about their marriage, particularly allegations of infidelity.
Both have publicly dismissed these rumors, with Steve stating at an event, “I’m fine. Marjorie’s fine,” and Marjorie sharing posts on social media to counter the gossip, emphasizing their unity and strength as a couple.
