Steve Harvey's Daughters Weren't Happy About His Romance With Marjorie In The Beginning
John Castro Something sweet about Steve Harvey and Marjorie Harvey's relationship is that they dated in the past before going their separate ways. Steve's bodyguard is actually the one that brought them together again. Although they loved each other very much, their children's concerns made things harder. Steve and Marjorie talked about the difficulties of combining families in a 2016 interview with People.
When their children voiced concerns about the relationship, Harvey said something similar to what he told Shannon Sharpe. Harvey told the outlet, "I said, 'Look, you don't like it? Deal with it. I don't need y'all's permission.'" Marjorie said, "When you're dealing with a blended family, everyone is coming from a place of broken." However, she and Steve were aware that they were meant to be together, so she tried to help their children understand: "But I just told them, 'Everyone is included. Everyone has access to their parents. Whatever you didn't have before, don't let that interfere with what you can have now.'" Marjorie added, "Now, we're Mom and Dad to everybody."
The Harveys are also grandparents to seven grandchildren. However, there was some speculation that Steve's family life was getting too complicated in 2022.
