Which is likely why Steve moved to again – more forcefully this time – slam the harmful rumors as nothing more than wanton gossip, stating definitively: “You’re not going to split us up!”

On an episode of The Steve Harvey Morning Show earlier this week, the 66-year-old said: “This woman got in the hole and built this with me. She didn’t steal nothing! And I’m tired of y’all talking about my girl because my girl is one of the best women I’ve ever met.

“We are a tighter two-handed circle. Thanks for doing that. You’re not going to split us up! We’re not going nowhere and she is none of what you said she is. She’s the best chick I know. Now I’m defending her, and you can feel how you want to feel about that.”

Steve’s recent comments came after a leaked conversation his co-host Shirley Strawberry had about the couple, wherein she said that Harvey was “scared” of Marjorie.

Strawberry was later forced to issue an apology to the Harveys in a social media video.

“It was not me trying to add to what you and Marjorie already have going on in your lives right now. But the fact that these tapes were released, it does seem that everyone is coming for you, including me,” she explained.

“But in reality, the tapes have nothing to do with what you and Marjorie have going on. It was just me running my mouth in what I thought was a private conversation. I apologize. I feel terrible.”
