Marjorie Bridges-Woods' Married Life: Husband, and Divorce!
Who isn’t familiar with Steve Harvey? You might have remembered the time when he made a funny and embarrassing mistake in the most prominent modeling event ‘Miss Universe 2015’. He is also the busiest man on TV hosting three different hit shows, so how did such an unlikely couple meet?
They first came in contact with each other when Steve first saw Marjorie, while she was walking into the ‘Memphis Comedy Club. Steve recalls the moment as "love at first sight." Steve went on stage of Memphis Comedy Club and announced the same night,
"I don't know who you are, but I'm going to marry you."
Later, after a few weeks from the first meeting, Marjorie discovered the moment of clarity about the relationship. Recalling the moment, Marjorie talked to ESSENCE in January 2014 saying,
"I knew he was The One shortly after I started dated him...but then he just left. Disappeared."
Both Marjorie and Steve dated briefly while Harvey was struggling. Steve was with his second wife, Mary Lee at the time while Marjorie was with one of her previous husbands. Though dating for a short time, the duo split up later.

They reconnected in 2005, shortly after Steve’s divorce and picked up right where they couldn’t 15 years ago. So, the two got married two years later on 25th June 2007.
The duo dated for years as revealed by Marjorie in 2010 interview with ESSENCE,
“We were friends. We dated years ago and I think it was the long distance more than anything with Steve and I [that made us go] our separate ways. Nothing happened. He didn’t break my heart. I didn’t break his heart. It just was a long distance relationship and someone would have had to make a decision back then. No one made a move. But it didn’t mean we didn’t care, it’s just sometimes life gets in the way. Obviously, it wasn’t the perfect timing or it would have happened.”
Steve's longtime bodyguard was the one to push Steve to rekindle his romance with Marjorie. Steve explained the information in an interview with PEOPLE in 2016 by stating,
“He told me, ‘Look, the only time I’ve ever seen you happy was when you were with that woman Marjorie. Now before you go and do something stupid and marry another woman, I’m calling her.’”
Marjorie married Steve Harvey on 25 June 2007 and became Steve's third wife.
Sharing the glimpse of duo's love, Marjorie shared an Instagram image of the pair on 24 July 2016 during the Neighbourhood Awards.
Marjorie has three children; Morgan, Jason, and Lori from her previous marriages.
