Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” beauty and “America’s Next Top Model” cycle 3 winner Eva Marcille sent social media into a frenzy last week when she posted a picture of her pregnant belly.
The Throwback Thursday photo was from when she was pregnant with her son Michael Todd Sterling Jr. with husband Michael Sterling.
“#TBT that belly was popping. Hey Mikey in the tummy. I can’t believe that was only two years ago; how the time flies. #blessed #momof3 NOW back to work😛,” the 36-year-old captioned the pic.
Despite her caption, fans still thought Marcille was about be a mommy of 4 and fawned over her pregnancy glow.
“Girl, I thought you were pregnant again 😩😂 , whew,” a fan wrote to the top model.
“I almost had a heart attack, thought you were pregnant again 🥺.”
“Congratulations ❤️.”
“Chilling with no makeup on / that’s when you the prettiest.”
“Sooooo Beautiful all the time…😘.”
Marcille’s photo should have been a dead giveaway, seeing that the mother of three had a silk press, as opposed to her locs she’s been rocking for the past three months.
“💫🌻 Three months in on my loc journey. I am absolutely in love. My daughter Marley has been loc’d for almost five years, and I’m just trying to get like her,” Marcille wrote in a Nov. 8 hair post.
“I love the freedom my locs give me. Hair is just hair, but it is alive. It moves and sways as it feels on that day. Just let it be! Helps to polish up who I am, a Sunflower in human form🌻.”
The fiery former peach holder welcomed her youngest child and son Maverick Sterling last year. Michael Jr is only one year older than his little brother.
Marcille is also the mother of her only daughter, Marley Rae Sterling, 6, from her relationship with singer Kevin McCall. Marcille said Marley’s last name was legally changed to Sterling in 2019 because McCall wasn’t an active parent in his daughter’s life. Sterling plays a huge father figure role in Marley’s life, calling himself a #GirlDad in a tribute post back in January.
“I knew that, with her and Eva’s trust, I had to earn each and every day,” he wrote for the birthday tribute.
“And if I fell short one day in my attempt to earn ‘it,’ I had to get back up and earn the next,” Sterling continued. “I didn’t know what I was doing. I still don’t. I’ve just tried to earn everyday. Those days have become weeks and those weeks have become months and those months have become years.”
