How Old Is Broderick Harvey Jr.?
Broderick Harvey Jr. is currently 33 years old and was born on April 29, 1991, in the United States. He was birthed as one of the three kids of his parents, Steve Harvey and Marcia Harvey, in their marriage that lasted 14 years. Broderick is of American nationality and African American ethnicity from both his parents. He also has Jamaican ancestry from his mother.
At the time of his birth, his parents were already married for 11 years. Steve and Marcia were said to have met for the first time at the wedding party of one of their mutual friends. The year they met has not been made known, but by 1980, they were already man and wife. Broderick’s father was still working on making a name for himself in the comedy and TV industry when he met and married Marcia, as it was five years into the union in 1985 that he started his career.
Two years after the marriage between his parents, the pair welcomed their first kids together in 1982 (Brandi Harvey and Karli Harvey), and then 9 years later, the couple welcomed their third child, the younger Harvey. The marriage was not going to last long after Broderick’s birth. When he was only 3, the marriage between his parents came to an end in divorce, drawing the curtains of their marriage of 14 years.
Broderick Harvey’s Mother Is Marcia Harvey
While his father, Broderick Stephen Harvey Sr., is a famous American born on January 17, 1957, and famous as a comedian, TV host, actor, and producer, his mother, Marcia Harvey, is not so famous. In fact, her greater claim to fame is as the former wife of Steve Harvey.
Marcia was born on January 22, 1955, in the United States of America, where she was also brought up. Now 69 years old, she is of African American extraction, and she established herself outside of her former husband’s light as an author, poet, and businesswoman.
When she agreed to get married to Steve Harvey, he was working as an insurance sales agent and was struggling to make ends meet. This was not enough to stop Marcia from walking down the aisle with him. Only a few years later, Steve left the job and launched a career in Hollywood that would lead him to global recognition and wealth.
Broderick Was Brought Up By His Mother Until The Age of 16
After Harvey began his Hollywood career, cracks soon emerged in his marriage. The new work took so much of his time, and he was mostly away from his wife and three kids. Marcia soon got tired, and she filed for a divorce which was granted in 1994. Broderick was three years old when his parents went their separate ways, while his older sisters were 12.
His parents got separated in August 1990, which means that at the time of Broderick Harvey Jr’s birth, his parents were not together even though they were still legally married. In 1993, Marcia filed for a divorce, leading to the official end of the marriage a year later. Broderick and his sisters went with their mother, who continued to raise them in Cleveland.
Harvey was made to pay his former wife the sum of $5100 monthly in child support for Broderick and his siblings. This amount, according to papers filed by Marcia, was too little, and could barely take care of the kids considering that her former husband was making an estimated $1 million annually.
That said, they were back in court after 14 months as Steve failed to pay the money. Marica said she hadn’t received any penny from her former husband. When the case came to an end, Steve Harvey was made to pay her $36,000 in late support payments, as well as an improved $6,630 monthly fee in child support.
With this and her own effort, Marcia raised Broderick Harvey Jr. with Steve hardly in the life of the youngster and his sisters. He remained with her until the age of 16, when he decided he wanted to move to Atlanta and be with his father.
He Did Not Have A Great Relationship With His Dad Until His Teenage Years
With a failed marriage on the one hand and a career that was growing very fast, Steve Harvey was not fully in the life of his son and his other kids. As a result of this, Broderick revealed that he did not have his dad fully in his life up until the aforementioned age of 16 when he decided to move in with him.
While talking about how he grew up on his father’s show in 2019, Steve Harvey’s oldest son made the revelation that he had always been with his mother in Cleveland since he was very little, and he had a great relationship with her in the absence of his father. He revealed that when his dad and his family were moving to Atlanta, they invited him to join them, but he refused because he wanted to be there to always protect his mother, and he didn’t want to hurt her.
But then, in 2007, when he was 16, he came to the realization that he needed to have a connection with his father. This was what pushed Broderick to move to Atlanta to be with Steve Harvey who was already married to his third wife, Majorie. According to him, while his mother was not very happy with the move, he felt it was the right thing to do.
The earliest educational pursuits of Broderick are not clear, but it is known that the celebrity kid got his high school education from North Springs Charter High School. While he was in the institution which is located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, Broderick took part in sporting activities. He played a little bit of soccer and basketball. From here, he went to Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia, where he obtained an art degree in 2014.
