I’m like, ‘Cause you’re stalking me, the odds are high.” Two years after they met, they ran into each other at a pool in L.A., started talking, and Steve asked on a date.

Many fans were shocked when the couple tied the knot out of the blue in March of 2019 in their Harlem home. Soon after the wedding, Tamron revealed that she was expecting, and on 24 April 2019 gave birth to son Moses. This child was a miracle for both of them, given that Tamron gave birth at the age of 48. The daytime star said: “It’s his first child, and he also thought he would never be a dad.”
In her interview for the People, she also shared some details about their different religious upbringing, and how she and Steve are trying to combine both, Tamron said:” He’s Jewish, so we had a bris here at the house,” – Jewish ceremony of circumcision – adding: ”My mom nearly passed out. We had both grandparents on each side there, and he’s going to Texas to have a christening or a confirmation at my mom’s southern Baptist church.”
