The rumor mill has been on overdrive lately with allegations that Steve Harvey and his current wife Marjorie Bridges are mulling a divorce.
Apparently, this isn’t the first time the television host cum comedian (whose full name is Broderick Stephen Harvey Sr.) is facing divorce gossip. Similar claims have popped up on major tabloids in the recent past, including one suggesting that the accomplished comedian was cheating on his wife with fellow reality television star – Kris Jenner.
However, it appears that those who’ve been waiting with bated breath to see the blended couple split up may be in for a rude awakening.

Steve Harvey and Marjorie Bridges seem to enjoy marital bliss despite all the gossip that Bridges is seeking divorce from her husband on infidelity grounds. Although the couple doesn’t reveal much about their private life to the public, the little they’ve disclosed points to a loving pair.
In a 2012 interview with People, Harvey heaped praises on his wife for transforming him into a real man. He said, “Marjorie changed the way I existed. I’d never been in a healthy adult relationship. I’d never been loyal, I’d never been fully respected.”
The feeling, it appears, was mutual between the two love birds. Marjorie backed up her husband’s sentiments saying, “We’re best friends. It’s the first time either of us has had someone we can talk to about everything.”
Steve Harvey and Marjorie Bridges are undeniable heads over heels with each other. That explains why they’ve been so confident in shutting down the rumors about their impending divorce.
This is what Harvey had to say to an audience at Invest Fest in Atlanta in response to the divorce allegations, “[My] marriage is fine. I don’t know what y’all are doin’, but find something else to do cause we fine, Lord have mercy.” In a show of solidarity with her husband, Marjorie made an Instagram post later that day terming the divorce rumors as “foolishness and lies.”
