Steve Harvey, the charismatic 66-year-old television presenter, found himself overcome with emotion while discussing his spouse at TheGrio Awards over the recent weekend. The occasion marked his receipt of The Television Icon Award, and amidst expressions of gratitude, he directed heartfelt words toward his life partner of 16 years, Marjorie Harvey, who was seated in the audience.
In a poignant acceptance address, the seasoned humorist articulated, “That woman over there has stood by me like four flat tires.” Harvey didn’t opt for subtlety; he was unabashedly sincere, a trait consistent in both his comedic and amorous pursuits.
“Eighty-five percent of the topics you all are presenting to me unfolded after I joined in matrimony with that lady right there,” he shared, attributing his triumphs to the influence of Marjorie. The audience, warmed by Steve’s candidness, responded with audible gasps and chuckles, while the camera panned to capture Harvey’s wife, situated amidst the spectators.
Harvey, a recipient of seven Emmy Awards, emphatically detailed the resilience of his union with his spouse spanning the past 18 years, emphasizing its enduring strength. Concluding his oration, Steve directly addressed his wife: “I extend my love to you, Marjorie Harvey. I am grateful for your unwavering companionship.”
Notably, amid recent gossip surrounding Marjorie’s alleged infidelity, Steve took a moment to address the rumors head-on. The couple emphatically dispelled the circulating speculations. “We’ve weathered 18 years of challenges… I am uncertain about the motives behind your endeavors, but rest assured, we stand firm,” he declared.
The duo recently commemorated their 16th matrimonial anniversary during the summer at Lake Como, attired in complementary ensembles. Marjorie, adorned in a white satin gown from Saint Laurent, harmonized with Steve, who sported a head-to-toe ensemble in shades of gold and white.
