Early Life & Relationship with Steve Harvey
Brandi Harvey was born on August 20, 1982, in the United States of America, along with her twin sister, Karli. She has spent a considerable part of her life in Atlanta, Georgia. However, she considers Ohio to be her home.
Her father, Steve Harvey, has been married to three different women over the course of his life. He exchanged wedding vows with Brandi’s mother, Marcia, in 1980. Their son, Brandi’s younger brother, Broderick Harvey Jr, was born in 1991. In 1994, the couple parted ways citing irreconcilable differences. At the time, Brandi and Karli were only 12 years old.
In 1996, Steve married Mary Shackelford. They have a son together, Wynton, who was born in 1997. After their divorce in November 2005, she was accused of spreading false rumours about the dissolution of their union. In 2011, a judge at the 199th District Court in Texas voiced similar concerns, adding that Shackelford had not been left destitute after the divorce. In May 2017, it was reported that Shackelford has filed a $60 million lawsuit against Steve for child endangerment and torture.
Steve’s current wife is Marjorie Bridges, whom he married in 2007. While the couple does not have any children together, Steve has served as the father figure to her three children, Morgan (born 1987), Jason (born 1991), and Lori (born 1997), from previous relationships.
A native of West Virginia, Steve Harvey is one of the most influential television personalities in the history of the entertainment industry. Over the course of his three-decade-long career, he has served as the host of ‘The Steve Harvey Morning Show’, ‘Steve’, ‘Family Feud’, ‘Celebrity Family Feud’, ‘Little Big Shots’ and its spinoff ‘Little Big Shots: Forever Young’, ‘Steve Harvey's Funderdome’, ‘Showtime at the Apollo’, and the ‘Miss Universe’ pageant. He has won six Daytime Emmys and 14 NAACP Image Awards. From 1996 to 2002, he starred in his own sitcom, ‘The Steve Harvey Show’, which aired on The WB.
