It’s been quite a week for American media personality Steve Harvey who has been trending on multiple social media platforms. Hundreds — if not thousands — of posts about his marriage have been shared online after rumours started swirling that his wife Marjorie had cheated on him with their private chef. Steve — who is a seasoned motivational speaker and talk show host — has faced ridicule from social media users who wondered how he “struggled to keep his wife happy”.

In what appears to be an attempt to clear these rumours, Steve has not only continued sharing sage advice online, he has also posted his wife a number of times.“Before I get started, just let me say, I’m fine. Marjorie’s fine,” he says in the video which was posted on TikTok.

“I don’t know what y’all doing, but find something else to do ’cause we 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.”

Despite this, people continue to mock Steve who is famous for his relationship advice mostly directed at women.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT?
In what would appear to be an attempt to get people to stop the gossip, he has continued to share a number of positive posts.

His latest is a tweet about Marjories best fashion moments. He captioned the tweet, “Is it any surprise that I wake up grateful and happy every day?”

Take a look below:
