Earlier this year Steve Harvey's stepdaughter, Lori, turned 18 on January 13, but recent news has suddenly catapulted her to the spotlight.

Like the rest of their children, Steve Harvey and his wife, Marjorie, love to speak about Lori's accomplishments on Steve's daytime talk show. The well-spoken young woman - who is a spitting image of her mother - is a trained equestrian rider and has appeared on the show numerous times throughout the years. Lori also went away to college with her brother last month after being accepted to every school she applied to.  The two were last seen being given advice by their parents to make sure they stay in the right direction.
