Steve Harvey could easily “get rid” of one of his daughter’s boyfriends.
The television host — who has twins Karli and Brandi and son Broderick with his first wife Marcia Harvey as well as Wynton with second wife Mary Shackelford and adopted children Morgan, Jason and Lori through his third marriage to Marjorie Harvey — explained that his daughters are “very careful” when introducing him to a potential new boyfriend.
“If I spot a bad one, I get rid of them. I make no bones about it, so they’re very careful when they bring them. You can think a person is wonderful, but everybody’s wonderful in the beginning. Everybody — you always meet the mask. The mask can last for about 90 days, and then after a while, the mask starts unraveling, and I just try to wait on that period. Sometimes they make it, sometimes they don’t,” Harvey told Us Weekly.
But if the “Family Feud” star notices something off about a new suitor who comes around, he will not involve his daughter and simply go about making sure the man doesn’t come back.
“But if you come in the house, and I know right off the top that you’re just not a good guy, I start the reading process right away. I don’t say nothing to my daughter, I just, behind the scenes, I start working toward getting rid of this guy,” Harvey said.
“The person you choose to spend your life with is probably the most important decision you’ll ever make. That relationship becomes an elevator. It can take you up or it can take you down, so choose wisely,” he added.
