Steve Harvey and his wife Marjorie Bridges Harvey have shut down the rumors that their marriage is in trouble, CNN reports. The couple, who have been married since 2007, faced speculation that Steve had cheated on Marjorie with another woman.
The rumor spread on X (formerly known as Twitter) last week and sparked memes and jokes. However, Steve and Marjorie have made it clear that they are not bothered by the gossip and that they are still happy together.
Steve, who hosts “The Family Feud,” spoke to a crowd in Atlanta at an event recently, where he dismissed the rumor as “foolishness and lies.”
“Before I get started, just let me say I'm fine,” he said. “We're fine. I don't know what y'all doing but find something else to do because we're fine. Lord have mercy. Man, I ain't got no time for rumors and gossip. God's been good to me, I'm still shining.”

I understand that with my platform comes some sort of responsibility to those that may not be as strong as we are. Read and share this with your love ones that may not know how to properly cope. God Bless all of you 🙏🏾😍”
