Personal life
Before meeting Steve Harvey, there was little information about Mary Lee Harvey’s early years, including her upbringing, education, or work history. It was only when she got closer to the comedian that things began to shine. The two are said to have first fallen in love after meeting while performing at a comedy concert in Arlington, Texas, in 1989.
After less than a year of making history, they decided to make even more by getting married that same year. While there aren’t many details about Steve Harvey’s previous marriages, he was previously married to Marcia Harvey in 1980. He has three children with her: Broderick Harvey Jr., Brandi Harvey, and Karli Harvey. Steve Harvey is a divorcee.
Mary Lee Harvey’s marriage to Steve Harvey worked out for a while, and they had a son named Wynton Harvey. She spent the next 14 years with her husband, watching his career progress steadily. She quietly supported him for a while, and things went smoothly.
Many people were shocked in 2005 when Mary Lee Harvey and Steve Harvey decided to end their 17-year marriage. A number of things, including an alleged affair – she suspected him of having an affair with Marjorie Elaine Harvey while they were married – were said to have contributed to their split.
After the divorce, the issue of child custody also arose, so she started posting videos on YouTube to gain more supporters. Mary Lee Harvey said in the tape that Steve Harvey was physically and mentally abusive in addition to having an affair.
These comments were the last straw for Steve Harvey, who then went to court to file a lawsuit to stop the defamation she was spreading. He claimed that her accusations were baseless because there was no evidence to support them.
The truth is that Steve Harvey’s career was booming and she couldn’t stand her husband’s celebrity status anymore, which was another factor that led to the divorce. Steve Harvey won the custody battle for their children, but Mary Lee Harvey received Steve Harvey’s house and $40,000 a month in welfare payments for four years.
Net worth
Mary Lee Harvey was reportedly awarded the home owned by Steve Harvey as well as a monthly welfare allowance of $40,000.
Mary Lee Harvey’s current estimated net worth is $1 million, which she has accumulated through her success in various ventures.
