Steve Harvey Kept A Secret From His Wife Of 9 Years. When He Reveals The Truth, She Breaks Down And... What Steve Harvey did for his wife of nine years on Mothers Day is so incredible, we had to share. Harvey invited his wife Marjorie Bridges for a week-long stint on his hit talk show. She thought she was there to honor mothers everywhere, but did not anticipate that her husband was about to make a moving on-air tribute he wrote and prepared for her. From the moment I saw you, when you walked into that comedy club that night, and the first thing I said to you ever was I dont know who you are, lady. But Im gonna marry you one day. Harvey goes on to explain just how much she means to him and his student, from helping their son become an A student to reigniting his passion or music, it is clear that Bridges is a remarkable mother. Steven has been very open about the fact that Marjorie is responsible for making him a better man and transforming his life. He has been married three times and has seven children. Marjorie has three children of her own.
