Steve Harvey, 64, doesn’t just have a massive career — he’s got a big family, too! The talk-show host is a proud father to seven children, who have all grown into beautiful and successful adults. Of the seven kids, four are Steve’s biological children from his past marriages to Marcia Harvey and Mary Shackelford. Steve then married his current wife Marjorie Harvey, and he adopted her three children. And from that moment on, Steve was officially a dad of 7! Below, find everything you need to know about Steve’s kids.
Steve’s eldest children are his twin daughters with Marcia, named Brandi and Karli. The girls were born in 1982, and the now 40-year-olds have evolved into such stunning women. Brandi has done a lot in her career, but her most impressive accomplishment would have to be founding Beyond Her, a fitness, health and lifestyle website geared specifically to women. She lists Beyond Her at the top of her Instagram bio. Brandi is also the Chief Change Maker and Executive Director of The Steve & Marjorie Foundation, a philanthropic organization started by Steve that provides youth outreach services. In addition, Brandi has her own podcast and a book that she published in October 2019.
Brandi’s twin sister, Karli, has a successful career as well. Karli is very involved in the Steve & Marjorie Foundation, where she does public speaking and mentoring. She and Brandi also share personal stories and give advice in Instagram videos that they call “Twin Talk.” Karli got married to Ben Raymond in September 2015, and together they have a 5-year-old son, Ben “BJ” Raymond II.
Broderick Harvey Jr, 31, is Steve’s third child from his marriage to Marcia. Broderick has his own fashion line called Need Money Not Friends and his own photography studio called B. Harvey Photography Inc. He is also involved in his family’s foundation. He also curates a playlist called HarvHouse, as indicated on his Instagram. In 2019, Broderick appeared as a guest on the final episode of his father’s daytime talk show, Steve, and spoke about the pair’s relationship. Broderick said that Steve “wasn’t full time in my life until I was 16,” at which point he moved to Atlanta to live full-time with his father. “At 16, I knew that’s what I needed as a man,” Broderick said on the episode.
Steve’s only child from his marriage to Mary, which lasted from 1996 to 2005, is son Wynton Harvey, 25. Wynton has been passionate about art since he was young, and often shares his work on his social media pages. He has his own photography and art designs IG page, while his regular account boasts over 63,000 followers. Wynton also has a profile on Rarible.com, where digital artists and creators issue and sell their custom work.
Morgan Harvey, 34, is Steve’s eldest stepchild. Her mother is Marjorie, but the identity of her biological father has never been publicly revealed. She, along with her two siblings, were adopted by Steve after he married Marjorie in 2007. Morgan is a prestigious pastry chef, having graduated from the Culinary Institute of America with a degree in Baking and Pastry. She started her own culinary brand, I Need Sum Mo, and shares recipes for food and cocktails on the website. Morgan is married to DJ Kareem Hawthorne, with whom she shares two daughters: Elle, 7, and Marley, 2, who she occasionally shares on her Instagram.
31-year-old Jason Harvey is among the trio of Steve’s stepchildren. Jason is the founder of Yevrah, a luxury women’s footwear company. He has over 37,000 followers on his IG page. His loved ones include his wife Amanda Harvey, and their four children, Ezra, Noah, Rose, and Joey.
Last but not least is Steve’s youngest adopted child, daughter Lori Harvey, 25. Fans likely know Lori, who is far and away the most famous of Steve’s seven kids. She is a model who has appeared on a number of magazine covers, including Vogue. But Lori really shot to fame thanks to her past relationship with actor Michael B. Jordan, 35. The pair started dating around November 2020, and they went public with the romance in January 2021. Lori even gushed over the Black Panther actor on The Real in September 2021, saying, “We just really balance each other. I really do believe in the statement when they say, ‘when you know you know.’ And I think that really applies to our situation and we just have a really good time together.” Sadly, they split in June 2022. “Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken,” an insider told PEOPLE at the time. “They still love each other. They had great times together and brought out the best in each other.”
Since the breakup, Lori has been living her best life, and she’s been seen out and about on various occasions. In fact, she began a steamy romance with Damson Idris, and was seen out for dinner with him back on December 19, signaling the beginning of the relationship.
The hunky Snowfall actor confirmed the relationship with a sweet PDA photo in January of 2023. But while the couple has proven almost unimaginably affectionate, in July of 2023, speculation of an outside romance threatened their peace. She was spotted at the same restaurant as Migos rapper Quavo in West Hollywood, but wasted no time nixing the subsequent rumors. Lori left a comment on a fan’s TikTok video, saying, “Lol no I was having lunch with my besties who are right behind me.”
She was later seen out to lunch with Damson, and in mid-July, was spotted on a romantic vacation in Saint Tropez with him, per Just Jared.
