They were a beautiful blended family who let reality television cameras into their lives, but Eva Marcille and Michael Sterling's marriage is over. The model rose to prominence following her explosive stint on America's Next Top Model years ago. However, she found a new career in unscripted TV after adding her peach to the Real Housewives of Atlanta. The drama unfolded as it usually would, but viewers were able to escape the in-fighting when the Sterlings showed off their growing brood.

Today (March 28), TMZ reported that Eva Marcille is ready to call it quits and filed divorce papers in Georgia. She and her attorney husband seemed to have a cooperative relationship, and there weren't any obvious signs of things turning sour. TMZ further shared that in the docs, Eva stated she and Sterling were already separated. The reason for the divorce wasn't implicitly apparent, but she did blame "irreconcilable differences."

Eva Marcille Wants Custody

Additionally, it's reported that Eva wants legal and primary physical custody of their three children. The model has also asked the court to issue child support and wants everything she and Michael have acquired during the marriage to be split equally. The actress shares her eldest, Marley Rae, with singer Kevin McCall. She'd previously accused McCall of being violent during their relationship, and his antics on social media caused concern. Eva would later change Marley Rae's last name to Sterling.

Meanwhile, Eva and Michael were married in 2018, and just this past October, Marcille was raving about her husband. She shared a video of their wedding and seemed overwhelmed with love. The pair even had a TV wedding, exchanging vows on Real Housewives. Neither party has spoken about the split. It is unclear how long they have been separated.

Just a week ago, the paparazzi caught up with Eva was didn't have an issue referring to Michael as her husband. However, she had yet to share that she was a newly single woman—kind of, so that would be expected. A quick look at Eva Marcilles Instagram page shows that Sterling has been noticeably absent for some time. However, Eva hasn't removed photos of her ex, hinting that this may be an amicable divorce.
