Marjorie Bridges Woods is finding out that thrice is the charm in her search for the perfect partner. She is one of the most successful fashion moguls in the world and she is also the wife of the renowned comedian, TV personality, and actor, Steve Harvey.

Marjorie Woods’ Background
Marjorie Woods was born on October 10, 1974, to mother Doris Bridges. Though Majorie grew up with her father, she prefers not to mention his name. She allows very little of her early life get on media and while we have nothing about her high school, we know that she attended the University of Memphis. She didn’t complete her program there, however.

Marjorie Woods’ relationships
Prior to marrying Steve Wonder on June 25, 2007, Marjorie Woods has been married twice with varying degrees of success. Her first two marriages followed an airy pattern; the police arrested both husbands for drug-related crimes.
Majorie’s First Marriage to Jim L. Townsend
Marjorie Woods’ first marriage was to Jim L. Townsend, a drug kingpin. There were rumors that Jim Townsend was 23 years older than Majorie, however, this wasn’t what led to their breakup.
Trouble started with the union when Townsend was arrested and indicted for attempting to buy 40 kilos of cocaine. He was sentenced to life in prison and served 26 years of his sentence before getting released in January 2017 after a pardon by President Obama.
Marjorie was never charged with a crime, although Townsend reported that the agents on his case believed that they had substantial evidence of Marjorie’s illegal activities. They said this in a bid to force his cooperation with them.
Marjorie divorced Jim less than five years into his sentence. She had her first two kids with him, however. They are Jason and Morgan.
Jim Townsend’s Allegations
In 2019, Jim Townsend published a tell-all memoir about his marriage to Marjorie and their run-ins with the law. He claims to have written two-thirds of the book while he was in prison.
Jim would tell how Marjorie Bridge Woods was his accomplice in the drug business in the book. Marjorie shows no fear concerning any revelation by Jim but many people have their fingers crossed waiting for the book.
Marjorie’s Second Marriage: Donnell Woods
Marjorie Woods’ second marriage was similar to her first. She married Donnell Woods a drug kingpin after her split with Jim Townsend. In 2001, the police caught Donnell in his anti-social activity which promptly led to Marjorie divorcing him.
