They seem to be the epitome of relationship goals.
Television host and comedian Steve Harvey and his wife of more than a decade, Marjorie Harvey, are still going strong and share a relationship that has stood the test of time.
Third time's a charm for this couple after they got together following their previous second divorces. The couple loves loud and have fans constantly gush over them.
The pair briefly dated in 1990 after meeting at a comedy club before reuniting in 2007, which led to their spark being reignited and them blending their families. They are avid travellers and love a night out on the town.
They recently celebrated 16 years of marriage in July 2023.
The couple were the subject of cheating scandal rumours, with tabloids accusing Marjorie of infidelity with her husband’s bodyguard and chef.
Steve was quick to rubbish the rumours via his Twitter (now called X) account.
