Steve did not have the same fame and success that he has now, but they were married 14 years ago. The exact reasons for the couple splitting up were not known and rumors were always heard in Hollywood. Some blame it on Steve Harvey's unsavory behavior and some to his choosing an alternative career path to comedy.

At that point, Steve was already beginning to lose interest in his work and was looking to pursue his own entertainment business particularly stand-up comedy. Marcia and Steve experienced a lot conflict and reports later suggested that they were beginning to split up.
