Eva Marcille’s Son Mikey and Kenya Moore’s Daughter Brooklyn Daly Have a Lunch Date

Eva Marcille‘s 2-year-old son Michael Sterling Jr. and Kenya Moore‘s 1-year-old daughter Brooklyn Daly had the most adorable lunch date at the former “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member’s home over the weekend.

In a photo shared to Brooklyn’s Instagram feed on Sunday, July 26, the little girl is wearing a yellow onesie with white flower prints. Holding her small fist in the air around a bright spoon, Brooklyn struck her pose by looking at her empty bowl. Meanwhile, Mikey sported a bright yellow polo with jeans and held onto his dark blue bowl in the shot. The delicious feast was prepared by Eva. “Brookie and Mikey break bread together courtesy of the chef @evamarcille #toddlerlife,” the caption read.

Several fans gushed over the youngsters’ friendship as comments like “They will grow up as best friends😍😍😍” and “Awww, Look at the both of them leaning over towards each other. Looks like a best friend situation is brewing😍” were written underneath the post.

However, another Instagram user expressed how excited she was about Kenya and Eva’s flowering friendship, writing “Sooooo happy you guys are finally friends and Eva is allowing her children to hang out with yours♄♄.”

The fan referenced Kenya and Eva’s infamous blowout during season 12 of “RHOA.” At the beginning of the season, Kenya threw her daughter a Barbie-themed party in an effort to introduce her to the cast. The Los Angeles native showed up to the event without her children and revealed in the episode that she did not know Kenya that well and was uncomfortable bringing her kids to the event because she did not know what the energy would be like. The pair made up shortly after the incident.

Eva later clarified her statement in a 2019 interview with “The Real.” The 35-year-old supermodel explained that her children were in school during the time of Brooklyn’s party, insinuating that was the real reason behind her children not attending the bash. “My kids are in school. Her kid is still in a stroller. Like, it really wasn’t that deep. And my kids don’t know her kids yet,” she said.

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.
