Before Steve Harvey was the larger-than-life television host we know and love now, he was an insurance salesman in Ohio (via NailBuzz). During that time of his life, he met Marcia Harvey, who would eventually become his first wife. The pair would have twin daughters named Karli and Brandi, and a son, Broderick Harvey Jr. The Harvey’s had a solid relationship until one major life-changing event happened.
According to Vizaca, Marcia had a hard time accepting Harvey’s place in the spotlight when he started to rise in popularity as a standup comedian. She did not support Harvey’s entertainment career, plus, she felt he was spending less time with her and their children.
The Harveys separated in 1990 when Marcia was pregnant with their son. They officially divorced in 1994 with claims of infidelity. It is believed that Harvey was living with his second wife, Mary Lee before their divorce was finalized.
