Over the last few years, Marjorie Harvey and daughter Lori have become one of the cultureโs favorite mother-daughter duos. When theyโre not traveling the world together, theyโre turning heads at fashion shows with their chic style. But behind all the flash and glamour, theyโre just like any other mother and daughter. It girl Lori has been getting great advice from mama Marjorie for years.
โThe funny thing about being a mother, they never stop being your baby,โ Marjorie said in a Steve Harvey Show clip from 2015, where the two talked about how to make the best decisions as she was preparing to go to college. (She attended school in Florida for a period.) โItโs a time when you have to kick โem out the nest. Their wings work. But you know, still, as a mom, you still worry about โem.โ
In the clip, which went viral a few years ago because Mrs. Harvey was telling her daughter not to date rappers and athletes, they had a sweet heart-to-heart.
โOver the years, sheโs taught me so much, and I know sometimes she thought she was talking to a wall. But I definitely absorbed everything she said,โ Lori shared about growing up with her lovely mom. โAlways make smart decisions.โ
Marjorieโs teaching clearly paid off, as Lori has become a successful entrepreneur, actress, and model, and despite dating a rapper or two and an athlete, she has walked away from all of her relationships unscathed and is living her best life. We love a confident Capricorn. She can also thank her mom and dad, Steve, for that. Theyโve taught her everything she knows in the romance department.
โThey have the best love, theyโre so supportive of me and, you know, just always here for me, whatever I need. So theyโre great. I love them,โ she said in 2022.
โTheyโre definitely my couple goals. I literally was just talking to my mom on the phone earlier and she was telling me what she got my dad for their anniversary tomorrow and Iโm like, โWow, you guys are literally goals,โโ she added. โThis is what I want one day.โ
One of the biggest things sheโs learned from watching her mother be loved right is that communication is everything. โTheir biggest thing, I think, is making communication key. Being on the same page. Like maintaining a friendship,โ she said. โStill liking each other after so many years because of course the love is always going to be there but being able to be like, โI really like this person, I like hanging out with them, I have a good time with them. I can laugh and just kick it and hang out.โ Thatโs really important.โ
Mother and daughter have been slaying on carpets and outside fashion shows for years. Check out a few of our favorite mother-daughter moments with Marjorie and Lori.
