Steve Harvey May Be In 'Best Relationship' of His Life for past 15 Years after Homelessness

"I was homeless from 30 to 33. I lived in a car for three years", Steve Harvey said.

He found his love again.
While many people now know Steve Harvey as a worldwide celebrity comedian and "Family Feud" host, he didn't always live the charmed life he leads now. In fact, he had a difficult start to his career.
At age 27, Harvey had just begun his comedy career. Little did he know that three years later, he would be a homeless man for three years. He has turned his struggle into inspiration for those in a similar situation.
On Monday, November 7, Harvey spoke to Twitter and said that he was living in his car from the ages of 30 to 33. He emphasized the importance of never giving up on your dreams. He said he made $50 a week on comedy and had no place to call home.
Eventually, his comedy gigs led to him landing the hosting position on "Showtime at the Apollo." From there, he got his own TV show called "The Steve Harvey Show." Harvey was almost 40 when he landed his own TV show.
Talking about how he released the reigns on his life, he said he understood that he had to have faith that his life would turn out for the better. He mentioned that being able to see a great life possible for you is of the utmost importance.
Steve Harvey Found Happiness: Who Is His Wife?
Harvey said that when he left his life up to his faith, he finally found the right woman for him. By the time he married Marjorie, his current wife, he had already been through two failed marriages and knew heartache.
However, when he met Marjorie, everything changed. He said that Marjorie brought peace into his life, which allowed him to do his job effectively. He also confessed that Marjorie taught him how to keep moving.
It has been mentioned that Marjorie helped Harvey to become more mature, optimistic, and confident than he was when they met. The pair have now been married for many years, and it is clear that this union was built to last by what Harvey says about his wife.
Marjorie and Harvey have built a beautiful life together and have successfully blended their families too. Although the couple has no children together, they love each other's children as if they were their own.
How Many Children Does Harvey Have?
Harvey has four children with his ex-wives, Marcia Harvey and Mary Shackelford. He then married Marjorie and adopted her three children from a previous marriage. Harvey is now a proud father to seven children.
Harvey's eldest daughters, Brandi and Karli, are twins. Their mother is Marcia Harvey, and the women are now 39. Brandi's biggest career move has been founding her fitness, lifestyle, and health website, "Beyond Her."
Brandi also has her own podcast and book, which she published in October 2019. She is also the Chief Change Maker and Executive Director of her father's philanthropic organization "The Steve & Marjorie Foundation."
Her twin sister, Karli, is also involved in "The Steve & Marjorie Foundation" as a public speaker and mentor. She tied the knot with Ben Raymond in September 2015, with whom she welcomed her son, Ben Raymond II.
Broderick Harvey Jr. is Harvey's third child with Marcia Harvey. The 30-year-old man has a fashion line called "Need Money Not Friends" and owns a photography studio called "B. Harvey Photography Inc."
Like his elder sisters, he is involved in the family's foundation. The young man confessed that he did not live with his father full-time until he was 16. He then realized he needed his father and moved to be with him.
Mary and Harvey's only child, Wynton Harvey, is now 24. The young man is an artist who shares his work on Rarible.com. He also shares his work on his Instagram page, which has a large following.
