‘Speak It Baby’: Steve Harvey’s Granddaughter Blows Fans’ Minds With Her Confidence

Please don’t get it twisted. Steve Harvey and Marjorie Harvey‘s granddaughter, Elle is both brains and beauty, and she’s not shy about giving reminders. 

“My IQ is exceptionally high period,” the 4-year-old said in video her famous grandmother posted on Instagram last Sunday.

She can be heard chuckling in the background. “Anymore questions? 😍🤣,” Mrs. Harvey captioned.

The post captured the attention of none other than the mother of famous entertainer Beyonce.

“Period ……….❤️,” Tina Knowles Lawson captioned.

Fans were apparently just as taken with the child as Lawson.

“You let them know. PERIOD…”

“LOL! Speak it baby”

“Excellent answer to all interview questions. Elle is going places… PERIODT!🤣😂”

Elle, who was born on March 22, 2015, is the daughter of Steve and Marjorie Harvey’s second-oldest daughter Morgan Hawthorne, according to a post from the famed comedian and “Family Feud” host’s website.

Elle’s father, Kareem Hawthorne, a.k.a DJ Bruckup, met his wife while she was attending Spelman College circa 2006, according to the website.

Morgan went on to graduate from the Culinary Institute of America with a degree in Baking and Pastry in 2011 and has appeared on “The Steve Harvey Show,” sharing recipes and hosting cooking classes.

Morgan is one of seven kids between the Harveys, and Elle is one of five grandchildren Marjorie and Steve talk frequently about loving to spoil.

“When you’re dealing with a blended family, everyone is coming from a place of broken,” Marjorie once explained to People magazine in a conversation about once having their seven kids under one roof.

“We knew this was right. But I just told them, ‘Everyone is included. Everyone has access to their parents. Whatever you didn’t have before, don’t let that interfere with what you can have now,’” Mrs. Harvey said.

She frequently posts pictures of her family, and especially her grandchildren, on Instagram.

“Not letting a little rain stop our dinner date ☔️😍 Nana + Elle #bestdateever,” Marjorie captioned in one photo.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
