Marcia Harvey was previously married to one of the famous American comedians, businessman, and entertainer, Steve Harvey. This former couple had divorced in 1994, who wed in the early 1980s.

What then led to their marital life falling apart? After she gets division from her husband, does she remarry? In this article, let us find out.

Remained Together for 14 years

The author, Maria, who published her first book "Marcia: Eyes to the Soul" and an American comedian, TV presenter, Steve weds in 1980 at an intimate ceremony. The function was surrounded by their closest friends and family only. Before marriage, they dated for a couple of years.

The exes said they first met at the home party of a mutual friend and ultimately fell in love. Likewise, Marcia is the first love of Harvey, who came along when Steve was not known to the world as much as now. Furthermore, they had shared very little during their union.

Sadly, Harvey's lovebirds were unable to support themselves for as long as they had formally divorced in 1994 after 14 years of together on friendly terms. Steve's passion for being a comedian was the main reason for their divorce. And so, he decided to pursue the dream of being popular and making himself a name.

Shares Three Adults Children 

From their lengthy union, the couple has three children. In 1982, Marcia and Steve welcomed twins daughters named Brandi Harvey and Karli Harvey. Their son Broderick Harvey was born in 1991.

A time when three children's father Steve left Marcia and their twin daughters in Holywood hoping to make it. Years later, after leaving them, he received the pardon of his twin kids.

"I'm married, I have twins, I'm supposed to provide for them, but I had to take this chance. Years later they said to me, ‘Dad, we didn’t understand why you left us, but we know now you had to go. You didn’t just belong to us. You belonged to the world.’"

More joyfully, Marcia and Steve became grandparents when their daughter Karli gave birth to son Benjamin Troy Raymond II ( b. in 2016) with her husband, Ben Raymond.

Ben, who is the owner of a personality building motivation and skill-development firm, Be The Ray Foundation got hitched with Karli on September 26, 2015, at St. Regis Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia.

Remarried Again or Not?

No, the author, after getting split with his ex-husband, Steve, Marcia, never remarried. She had to raise her twin daughters as a single mother despite all that happened, and that's something her daughters continue to respect.

As a proud mother, she did not give up, and up until today, she is a successful businesswoman who built everything from the ground up. That is why on her special day, her daughters make sure to celebrate her for the strong, resilient, and hardworking woman that she.

Steve's Extra Marital Affair 

On the other hand, the 64-year-old TV host went on to remarry twice. He and his second wife got married in 1996, but after 9 years they divorced in 2005. And Lee says that by the time their marriage turned two, Steve had cheated her.
