‘She’s So Cute’: Eva Marcille Shares Video of Christmas Tree Decorated With Sunflowers

Eva Marcille got into the holiday spirit and decorated her home with her signature favorite — sunflowers.

The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star showed off her Christmas tree with a video Instagram post on Monday, Nov. 30.

The clip features her slowly panning her camera to the holiday decoration as she explains, “So last night, the kids and I and the hubby did our Christmas tree. This is how a hippie’s Christmas tree looks.”

“I love her. She’s so cute,” Marcille, 36, added.

The “America’s Next Top Model” alum’s tree was decorated with traditional globe ornaments, icicle ornaments, and several sunflower ornaments. Rather than using a star, the tree was topped with a sunflower light. 

#TheSterlings … what’s a tree 🌲 without 🌻🤷🏽‍♀️,” she captioned the video.

Several fans commented about the unique style of her “hippie” tree.

“Cuuuute! So you!”

“SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!” 

“Unique! I love it!”

“The sunflowers 🌻add a Beautiful touch!”

The former “RHOA” star is known for including sunflowers whenever she can.

Marcille later posted another video to show off some of her other Christmas decorations such as mini Christmas trees on her dining room table, sunflowers in vases, monogrammed stockings, a gingerbread house, and a Black Santa.

“I’d be remiss if I didn’t show the rest of my Christmas decorations. I’m proud of myself. It’s all for the kids. Obviously, I have a big tree, but I also did some little stuff for the children,” she told her followers.

Marcille is married to Michael Sterling and the pair share three children – Marley Rae, Maverick, and Michael Jr.

The former reality star announced in June that she would not be returning to the series for season 13 in order to focus more on other business opportunities.

She was initially introduced on season 10 as the friend of “RHOA” original Nene Leakes, who has since also left the Bravo show. 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
