‘Sis I Know You Better Than This!’: Eva Marcille’s Ex-Boyfriend Kevin McCall Shoots His Shot With Jess Hilarious But Fans Aren’t Amused

Months after Jess Hilarious put her relationship with Kountry Wayne in her rearview mirror, it appears she’s got another contender in the form of Eva Marcille’s ex-boyfriend.

Kevin McCall, who shares a daughter with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, posted on Instagram Tuesday his plans for getting the famed Instagram comedienne to notice him.

“The face imma make when I sang @jesshilarious_official Out them Vickies 💦😉 she aint ready tho,” the rapper/actor captioned the now deleted July 30 photo.

Several fans gassed up McCall for shooting his shot.

“@jesshilarious_official it’s not a game sus ball is in your court 😬👀🖤”

“Sing her into a ring💖 I would love to see you both happy the right way💙”

“U better snach him jess lol….hes a whole MEAL N SOMEEEE😍😍😍👅👅”

But others were not on board with the potential romance.

“@jesshilarious_official Sis I know you better than this! N—a ain’t even verified but he certified crazy. Please seek help sir.”

“Jessssssss, I know yew bettaaaa!”

“You lost me.”

The post even garnered a reaction from Jess herself, who put the star’s government name on blast, writing, “KEVIN LAMAR MCCALL!!!!”

It’s not clear whether that means things are a go for the two, but if they were to move ahead with the romance it would be McCall’s first major relationship with a fellow celeb since he and Marcille called things off in 2015.

Before then, however, the pair welcomed daughter Marley Rae together. Yet McCall’s relationship with his daughter and ex came into question once the actor apparently disowned his little girl. At issue? Marcille’s now-husband taking in Marley as his own.

Since then, the actor has not had very positive things to say about Marcille’s man, attorney Michael Sterling. As recently as March, McCall openly shared his problem with Marley calling Sterling daddy. This despite Marcille previously saying on “RHOA” that the Atlanta-based lawyer is “the only dad that Marley knows.”

In response to seeing footage of Marley calling her stepdad “daddy” on the reality show, McCall posted a screenshot of a Google search result of who Marley’s dad is. McCall is who popped up in the results.

“Imma just sit this right here,” McCall said in a tweet. “No debate necessary. Yal gone be ok.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
