Steve Harvey and Marjorie Harvey (Audience Member)
Steve Harvey first laid eyes on Marjorie Harvey when she walked into a comedy club while he was performing on stage. He allegedly stopped the show to watch her walk to her seat, and when he started his routine again he said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know who this is, but I’m going to marry her.” The feeling seems to have been mutual as Marjorie had said, “I was over the moon for Steve when I first met him.”
The only problem was that Harvey was still married to his first wife, Marcia Harvey. Even though he and Marcia split in 1994, it would be another 15 years before he and Marjorie got married. They dated briefly after his divorce, but ultimately Harvey moved on and was married to another woman, Mary Lee Harvey, between 1996 and 2005. After his second divorce, Harvey and Marjorie finally got their chance and started their relationship. They got married in 2007 and have been happily wed ever since.
