‘Ah Brookie and Her Sweetheart Mikey’: Playdate for Kenya Moore’s Daughter and Eva Marcille’s Son Leaves Fans Gushing

Kenya Moore‘s daughter, Brooklyn Daly, 2, and Eva Marcille‘s son Michael Todd Sterling Jr., 3, tugged many fans’ heartstrings on Monday, May 31, after an image of the toddlers’ playdate was uploaded on Brooklyn’s Instagram page. In the snapshot captioned “#friends 👶🏽👶🏽❤️❤️,” Sterling is seen cuddling with Brooklyn as she snacks on an unidentified item. 

Prior to Brooklyn’s initial reunion with Sterling, the toddlers were last seen together online at her cowgirl-themed birthday party in November. The duo’s playdates and adventures have become a fan favorite since Sterling first appeared on Daly’s Instagram account last July in a post that read, “Brookie and Mikey break bread together courtesy of the chef @evamarcille #toddlerlife.” The snapshot displayed the two eating a meal Marcille prepared.

Upon viewing the “adorable” image, many fans couldn’t stop talking about how “cute” Daly and Sterling were. 

“Could it get any cuter?”

“They’re so adorable ☺️😍”

“Ah Brookie and Her Sweetheart Mikey 😍😍😍.”

“The cutest duo!”

“Two of my favorite people!!😍😍 @thekenyamoore @evamarcille . I so love their little adorable friendship!!!❤️❤️”

As many people gushed over the photo, a couple mentioned how the toddlers may have inherited their mothers’ modeling looks. One wrote how Daly and Sterling were two of the most beautiful babies they have ever seen. “Oh my gosh. They are two of the most beautiful babies I probably have ever seen.” Another said, “These babies are so adorable, Mikey’s eyes melt you at first glance and Brookie is just so beautiful you can hardly stand it.🥰🥰🥰.” An Instagram user suggested that the duo should take part in a photo shoot together. “They should totally do a baby model shoot! It’s only right!😍😍😍😍😍.”

This wouldn’t be the first time a follower has pointed out Sterling looked similar to his supermodel mother. Last April, the physical features between Marcille and the toddler were apparent after she uploaded an image of her son, who was asleep at the time with his mouth wide open as he laid on a pink blanket. The model, who was in awe of her son’s beauty, captioned the post, “Lips.”


Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
