Rumor Steve Harvey's Wife Is Cheating On Him Allegedly Makes Host 'Short-Tempered' On 'Family Feud': Report
Steve Harvey's recent behavior on "Family Feud" may be due to "pressure at home," including the rumors that his wife Marjorie Harvey cheated on him and that their marriage is on the rocks, a report has suggested.
In recent weeks, the TV show host raised eyebrows over some of his interactions with contestants, including calling one man's answer stupid and seemingly getting annoyed by a woman's response.
Harvey's behavior allegedly has sparked worry and concern among "Family Feud" executives and staffers, an unnamed insider told Closer Weekly. Enstarz could not independently verify the claims.
"Steve's king of the hill and has become an intrinsic part of the show's success -- but insulting contestants and calling their answers stupid right to their face is the last thing people need," the insider claimed. "It's got people around him panicky."

According to the source, Harvey's bosses and co-workers don't know why the host has become increasingly "short-tempered" on the game show but speculated that it may stem from personal or family-related problems.
"They're concerned Steve's working too hard. Maybe there's pressure at home that's getting to him and making him short-tempered," the insider claimed.
The source suggested that part of the reason may be his daughter Lori Harvey's love life, which "seems to be going nowhere."
In addition to this, Harvey and his wife Marjorie have been fending off divorce and infidelity rumors for months, as noted by Atlanta Black Star.

Despite a lack of proof backing the claims, rumors spread on social media last year that Marjorie cheated on her husband with their bodyguard and chef.
Harvey shut down the rumors in August 2023, saying, "I'm fine. Marjorie fine. I don't know what y'all are doing, but find something else to do, 'cause we fine. Lord, have mercy.
"Sometimes ... you wanna respond, but I ain't got no time for rumor and gossip. God been good to me. I'm still shining," he added.

Marjorie also dismissed the rumors as "foolishness and lies" in an Instagram post last year.
The couple also debunked the rumors of marital issues recently by posting photos of them celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary during a romantic getaway.
"Happy 17th Anniversary My Love," Marjorie captioned the sweet images, adding a heart-eyes emoji.
