Though it's not immediately known when the two met, William "Big Boom" Freeman has been in Steve Harvey's life for many years. As his longtime bodyguard, Freeman has seen Harvey through many stages. Therefore, when Harvey first began dating the woman who would be his future wife, Marjorie Harvey, Freeman knew she was the perfect woman for his friend.

"He told me, 'Look, the only time I've ever seen you happy was when you were with that woman Marjorie. Now, before you go and do something stupid and marry another woman, I'm calling her,'" recalled Freeman during a May 2016 interview with People.

It's clear that Freeman was correct about the couple. Marjorie and Steve Harvey remained together even during his money troubles, which included a corrupt accountant who stole many of his tax payments. Gladly, his hard times did not last long. In 2009, he penned his New York Times bestselling relationship book, "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man," which was adapted into a movie in 2012. He was hired in 2010 to host "Family Feud," a position he still holds today, in addition to his popular "Steve Harvey Morning Show."
