Steve Harvey, an American television host and comedian, had a major squabble with his second ex wife, Mary Shackelford, for many years. 

Harvey married Shackelford on June 21, 1996. The two divorced after nearly nine years of marriage in 2005. They also have a son named Wynton Harvey, who was born in 1997. 

In 2013, around eight years after their divorce, Shackelford filed court papers seeking a modification of Wynton’s custody arrangement.

She claimed that Harvey was interfering with their relationship by not allowing her to spend enough time with their son. However, Shackelford’s request was ultimately denied by the court.

There were some controversies and disagreements between the comedian and his second ex wife in the following years. Shackelford was arrested for contempt of court after she violated a court order related to their divorce settlement. The court ordered her to remove her belongings from the comedian’s house, but she refused, resulting in her arrest.

Shackelford even claimed, Harvey owed her $60 million in their divorce settlement, which he denied. The case was ultimately settled for an undisclosed amount.

Later, she accused the comedian of violating the terms of their divorce settlement by selling their former marital home without her consent in 2015, but the case was settled out of court.

Steve Harvey and Mary Shackelford’s dispute over the years 

Harvey and Shackelford’s feud lasted for many years after their separation. One of the notable cases was Shackelford’s lawsuit against Harvey in 2017.

She accused him of torturing her for a long time and inflicting severe mental pain during and after their marriage. She also claimed that Harvey hurt her soul and made her contemplate suicide.

In addition to these legal battles, Harvey and Shackelford have engaged in social media feuds. Shackelford accused the comedian of being a coward and a liar in a tweet she shared in 2019. Harvey responded by calling her a ‘bitter ex wife’ and accusing her of attempting to slander his name in a tweet.

In the same year, Shackelford again accused him of cheating on his current wife, Marjorie Harvey, with her while they were still married. However, the comedian denied the accusations and threatened his second ex wife with legal action.

Steve Harvey’s reflection on divorce

Harvey opened up to eNCA reporter Heidi Giokos about his previous divorces and bad decisions. “If you’ve never failed, what do you know? You know nothing. You’ve got to get a divorce to find the right chick. I know a little bit about that,” Steve said while chuckling.

The comedian also expressed regret for the pain he caused Shackelford during their marriage and stated that he hoped to move on from their past disagreements.

Likewise, the former couple has attempted to maintain a cordial relationship for the sake of their son. Harvey discussed his relationship with Shackelford in a 2018 interview. “We’ve been through a lot, but at the end of the day, we’re still parents,” he said. “We have a child together, and that’s always going to be the most important thing.” 

Hannah van der Westhuysen, a 27-year-old actress from the UK, commenced their acting career at a fairly young age. They made their debut on screen when they were just nine years old. Fast forward 15 years later, Hannah is starring as Stella in the Netflix series Fate: The Winx Saga. 

As their star power rises, people are becoming increasingly curious about their romantic life. Hence, here’s a roundup of everything we know about Westhuysen’s current relationship status.

Hannah Van Der Westhuysen shares nothing about Their Relationship 

Westhuysen adores their friendships, which is evident from their Instagram posts, where they frequently share pictures with their friends and showcase their playful personalities. 

They cherish their friendships with their long-time pals and Co-stars, such as Anya Chalotra from The Witcher. 

According to CID, despite the abundance of posts featuring their friends, no evidence on their Social media accounts suggests they are romantically involved with anyone.

There are no pictures or mentions of a boyfriend or partner on their pages, suggesting that the actress might be single. However, they have not openly admitted any of it, whether single or in a relationship. 

Westhuysen lives with their childhood friend, Flossie Skelton, in a shared flat. However, there is no indication that they are anything other than good friends.

Westhuyzen, who has dual citizenship in UK and Australia, was born in Hammersmith, West London, and raised in South West London. They completed a foundation course at LAMDA before obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in Acting from Drama Centre London in 2018.

Before their return to acting, Westhuysen took some time off to travel and focus on their education. During this period, they remained close to their circle of friends, including a female friend they had known for over a decade. 

Eventually, they decided to re-enter the entertainment industry. Hannah’s first role after their hiatus was in a television movie, followed by the opportunity of a lifetime – playing Stella in the hugely popular Netflix series, Fate: The Winx Saga. 

The show has a massive following in Europe and Latin America, and the actress received great attention for their portrayal of Stella. Westhuyzen, like their fellow Fate: The Winx Saga stars, is young and has a limited number of acting credits.

However, they are not entirely new to acting in front of the camera, as they made their first on-screen appearance in 2004. Although they took a break from acting between 2006 and 2017, the actress has accumulated nine on-screen credits and has done some theater work, including appearing in the play An Enemy of the People in 2019. 

As mentioned in Tvovermind, it is unclear whether they prefer stage or screen acting. Unlike some actors who enjoy being in the spotlight, they prefer to keep a low profile and don’t reveal much about their personal life on social media, and do not participate in many interviews.

“We met in Vegas. He fell in love with me at first sight,” Cartwright recalled during an interview with Bravo in 2017. “He was with another girl, I stole him away and we’ve been together ever since.”

Cartwright was introduced toVanderpump Rules during season 4. However, fans got to know the native of Kentucky with Taylor more intimately with their own spin-off Jax and Brittany: Take Kentucky in 2017.

The trajectory of their relationship did not run parallel. In that same year, news of Taylor’s unfaithfulness to his then-girlfriend Cartwright made headlines.

Jax Taylor cheated on Brittany Cartwright with Faith Stowers

In between the Vanderpump Rules, seasons 5 and 6, fans could witness the drama of Taylor cheating on Cartwright with Faith Stowers.

In November 2018, Taylor explained to Us Weekly about his discourtesy that he had fallen into a deep hole, which was not uncommon in his lifestyle. He admitted that using his father’s death as an excuse was not something he was comfortable with, but he felt that something traumatic needed to happen in his life to motivate him to make a change.

“He [Taylor’s father] was kind of that turning point for me to be like, ‘Enough’s enough.’ I just felt like my dad took my body over and was like, ‘This is how you’re going to live the rest of your life the way I think you should live it.’ I’m living my every day — from now until I die — how my dad would live his life,” Taylor noted.

In the premiere of season 6 of Vanderpump Rules, Cartwright found out about Taylor’s affair with Stowers, which resulted in their brief split.

“I’m just, like, really unhappy. I’ve been unhappy for such a long time … This has 150 million percent nothing to do with you,” Taylor told Cartwright during season 6 of the Bravo show. “I am not good at relationships. You deserve a lot better than me. I just don’t think we should be together anymore.”

Taylor took a moment to share his happiness with his fans on his Instagram. He wrote, “She said yes!!! I can’t wait for y’all to see how this happened next season!!! I am marrying the woman of my dreams and I could not be happier!!”

Cartwright spoke to Us Weekly about how she learned to trust Taylor again after the scandal. She said, “I see him every single day making efforts and he’s completely changed the way he treats me, the way he talks to me, the way he listens to me. Every single thing about our relationship is better.”

“I know how much he’s wanting the wedding and how much he’s wanting to marry me, how much effort he’s putting into the wedding, just as much as me. I don’t know, whenever you know somebody as well as I know Jax, you can just tell,” she added.

The twosome tied the knot a little more than a year after the proposal at a castle in Kentucky in June 2019. They were blessed with a baby boy, Cruz Michael Cauchi, on April 12, 2021.

“I think becoming parents made us stronger too because I love seeing him as a dad,” Cartwright says about their relationship with Taylor. “It just makes you love him more.”

Talking more about their relationship stability, Taylor opened up to People that he is not in a plan of getting apart from his wife.

“I don’t believe in divorce. My parents didn’t get divorced,” Taylor gushed. “I don’t believe in that. Marriage is work. I’m not saying every day is amazing.”

He added, “There’s good days and there’s bad days, but that’s marriage, and that’s what makes your relationship stronger. We love hard. We fight hard. It’s amazing.”
