Marjorie Bridges-Woods was born on October 10, 1974, in the United States. Her birth name was Marjorie Bridges, and she later adopted the surname Woods through one of her previous marriages. She is best known as the wife of comedian, television host, and best-selling author Steve Harvey. Prior to her marriage to Harvey, Marjorie had three children: Morgan, Jason, and Lori, all of whom now bear the last name Harvey. Marjorie and Steve were both previously married twice before they tied the knot in June 2007 in a private ceremony held in Maui.
Marjorie first met Steve Harvey more than two decades ago at a comedy club in Memphis, where Harvey was performing. At the time, both were involved in other relationships. Steve Harvey's first marriage was to Marcia Harvey (1980–1994), with whom he shares three children: Karli, Brandi, and Broderick Jr. His second marriage, to Mary Lee Harvey (1996–2005), produced a son named Wynton, born in 1997.
Steve and Marjorie reconnected after their previous marriages had ended, and their relationship grew stronger over the years. Following their marriage, Steve adopted Marjorie’s three children, embracing them as his own. Steve has publicly credited Marjorie for helping him mature and reform his life, often citing her influence as a key factor in his personal growth and stability.
