Shortly after high school, he joined Kent State University and West Virginia University and is a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

Harvey has been married three times and has seven children (four biological and three stepchildren). From his first marriage to Marcia Harvey, he produces two daughters (twins Brandi and Karli) and one son (Broderick Harvey Jr.). From his second marriage to Mary Shackelford, Harvey has another son called Wynton.

The couple separated in November 2005. In 2011, Collin County, Texas-based 199th District Court Judge Robert Dry expressed concern about Mary Harvey declaring false information about the divorce, with the judge recommending that she had not been left materially poverty-stricken.

In June 2007, Harvey wedded Marjorie Bridges, who he states is responsible for making him a better man and changing his life. Marjorie Harvey is mother to three children (Morgan, Jason, and Lori), all of whom Steve adopted. Steve and Marjorie have five grandchildren: three through Jason’s marriage to his wife Amanda, one through Morgan’s marriage to her husband Kareem, and one through Karli’s marriage to husband Ben.

Through 2017, Harvey and his family split their time between Atlanta, where his radio show was televised and Family Feud was recorded, and Chicago, where he hosted his talk show for NBCUniversal from the company’s Chicago studios, although he would host his radio show there as well. In 2018, Harvey led his talk show, radio show, and Family Feud to Los Angeles.

Harvey is a Christian and has credited his success to his faith in God. Harvey reports that he has resulted in a vegan diet for health reasons and has presented the rationale for his diet on his TV program.

In February 2018, Steve and Marjorie rented a large mansion in the gated community of Beverly Park which sits atop Beverly Hills, California. The 12,000 square foot house, which sits on just under 2 acres, was at one time scheduled for lease at $125,000 PER MONTH but the Harveys arranged to talk the owners down to $110,000 per month. That works out to around $1.3 million per year in rent. At one point in 2007, the house was listed for sale for $23.5 million.

Outside of Los Angeles, Steve Harvey has a 9,000 square foot mansion in Atlanta which was bought in 2010 for $3.4 million, and an equally-large mansion outside of Dallas, Texas that sits on 4 acres. In 2013 Steve purchased a 5,500 square-foot house in Chicago on the 88th floor of Trump International. He marketed that property in 2018 for $7.7 million.

In May 2020 Steve paid $15 million to get Tyler Perry’s one-time mansion in Atlanta. The gated, 35,000 square-foot home sits on 17-acres. Tyler purchased the house in 2017, poured millions into renovations, and sold it in 2016 to an evangelist named David Turner for $17.5 million. Turner seems to be taking a $2.5 million loss on the home.
