A resurfaced clip from a 2017 episode of Celebrity Family Feud has reignited online discussions about Steve Harvey and Marjorie Harvey’s marriage. Fans have long speculated about their relationship, and Marjorie’s unexpected answer in the game show segment has only added fuel to the fire.
Marjorie’s Pool Boy Comment Leaves Steve Harvey Shocked
The viral moment happened when Marjorie, leading the “Harvey Boys” team, faced off against Steve’s mother-in-law, Doris Bridges, who captained the “Harvey Girls.” Steve, as the host, posed the question: “We asked 100 married women: Some days I’d be willing to trade my man for a really good what?”
Without hesitation, Marjorie hit the buzzer and answered, “Pool boy.”
The audience erupted in laughter, while Steve stood in disbelief. He questioned her response, to which Marjorie, laughing, replied that she was only joking. As she reached out to console him, Steve humorously pulled away, exclaiming, “Get your damn hands off of me! Trade me in for no damn pool boy!”
Marjorie’s response was, in fact, on the board, but Doris Bridges’ answer—”a good, rich man”—ranked higher, leading to her team’s victory. The exchange, originally aired in 2017, has resurfaced on social media, drawing fresh reactions from fans and fueling new speculations about their marriage.
Social Media Weighs in on Steve and Marjorie’s Relationship
The clip, first uploaded to Family Feud’s official YouTube channel in 2017, has gained over 2.3 million views, while the full episode, posted in 2022, has surpassed 11 million views.
Fans have taken to social media to react. Some found the moment hilarious, while others questioned whether there was underlying tension in the couple’s relationship. A comment on Instagram from a resurfaced clip read, “She said that a little too quick… Steve better watch out!” Others defended the couple, stating that it was simply a joke and that their playful banter is part of their strong dynamic.
This isn’t the first time Marjorie’s “pool boy” joke has made headlines. In 2021, an Instagram user commented on one of her posts, teasing, “You still need that pool boy.” Steve quickly fired back, stating, “Naw, she don’t need no pool boy. She got a man that buys pools and anything else she needs.”
Steve and Marjorie, who met in 1990 and married in 2007, share a blended family of seven children. Steve adopted Marjorie’s three children from her previous marriage, in addition to his four kids from past relationships.
Despite the lighthearted nature of the Celebrity Family Feud clip, the resurfaced moment has once again placed the couple’s marriage under public scrutiny. However, both Steve and Marjorie have consistently shut down rumors, showcasing their long-standing bond through social media and public appearances.
