The video, shared by both, includes clips of the couple walking down an opulent staircase, embracing lovingly, trading kisses, and posing with the vistas of Lake Como as their backdrop. 

“Still going strong,” Harvey captioned his post. In his stories, the “Family Feud” host reposted the video adding, “Baby 🔥”

“Anniversary time with the Love of My Life ❤️🙏🏾,” Marjorie wrote in her post

Together, the long-married pair evoked a glamorous bridal aesthetic. According to People, Harvey wore a custom gold tweed blazer by Dolce & Gabbana over white separates by Loewe, while Marjorie donned a white fur-trimmed duster over a matching satin backless YSL gown with a thigh-high leg slit. 

While the two have been married since 2007, they initially met at a comedy club in 1990 while Harvey was performing. Recalling the story of their first meeting on a 2018 episode of Harvey’s eponymous talk show, Marjorie said she thought Harvey, who was onstage, was staring at her to work her late entrance into the venue into his set. Instead, the comedian boldly declared to the audience, “I don’t know who this is, but I’m gonna marry her.”

Harvey’s intuition proved correct. The couple dated, moved on from each other and eventually reconnected before finally tying the knot. Now the Harveys share a blended family of seven children and seven grandchildren. 

“We’re best friends,” Marjorie told People magazine in 2012. “It’s the first time either of us has had someone we can talk to about everything.”

Harvey added, “Marjorie changed the way I existed. I’d never been in a healthy adult relationship. I’d never been loyal; I’d never been fully respected.”
