Times Celebs Bared All About Their Most Protective Parenting Moments

In his blended family, Steve Harvey has embraced fatherhood with the utmost devotion. This is especially true when it comes to his youngest daughter, Lori Harvey. Steve married Lori's mother, Marjorie Harvey, in 2007, and legally adopted Lori soon afterward. Since then, he has taken Marjorie's three children in as his own, even changing their last names to his. As a doting father, Steve's love knows no limits — especially when it comes to making sure his baby girl is happy.

Lori's extensive dating history, which has all occurred under the TV star's watchful eye, has become public interest in recent years. The influencer's roster of ex-boyfriends features the likes of rapper Future, actor Michael B. Jordan, and soccer player Memphis Depay. But before his stepdaughter's engagement to Depay in 2017, Steve kept the Dutch athlete on a tight leash. The "Family Feud" host took his protective dad role to new heights by hiring a discreet security team to follow Depay around.

Steve opened up about the move on his talk show in 2018, clarifying that his motive was genuine concern for Lori's safety and happiness, especially considering the stereotypes surrounding pro athletes. Despite Lori's initial discomfort at her dad's detective move, Steve assured her it was all for her benefit. "What you trippin' for? I'm trying to help you,'" he recounted, per People. "You think he cute; I don't. You find him attractive. The boy is just a boy to me."
