‘Babies All Look Like Models’: Eva Marcille Turns Heads with Stunning Family Photo

Fans are gushing over a family photo of Eva Marcille and the three children she shares with her husband, Michael T. Sterling. The couple met in 2016 and wed in 2018. A year later, the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star changed the last name of her 8-year-old daughter, Marley Rae, to match her husband’s. She claims Sterling is the only father Marley knows after years of co-parenting drama and an abusive relationship with Marley’s biological father, singer Kevin McCall.

Marcille and Sterling also share two boys, Michael Todd Sterling Jr., 4, and 2-year-old Maverick. Sterling shared a striking photo of his family on Instagram Monday, May 9, in honor of Mother’s Day. The supermodel smiled right into the camera while seated in between her blond-haired children dressed in sweaters.


Fans in the comments were mesmerized by the children’s beauty and couldn’t stop raving over how much they’ve grown over the years. One person said, “Beautiful family… The kids are getting so big.”

Another observer said, “All of the kids are gorgeous but Marley is going to be a beauty.”

Some suggested the kids might follow in their mother’s footsteps to pursue a successful modeling career, including one who wrote, “Babies all look like models.”

Dozens more couldn’t stop gushing over the oldest, Marley Rae, though most agreed, “Your daughter has grown up so fast. She is beautiful.”

One person said, “Eva, Marley is your twin. Beautiful babies,” while a third wrote, “But the way Marley face greased?”

A few asked for the family’s skincare routine after zooming in on the kids shiny, smooth skin. “So adorable. What do you use on their skin?” said one person.

Another wrote, “Such a beautiful family. My girl Marley has grown up omg. But, the fact your genes so strong cause all these like each other.”

Others gravitated toward the youngest boy, Maverick, sitting in the middle on Eva’s lap in the photo.

“Mike the baby on the lap is your straight twin! Congratulations to you and your lovely family.”

“That’s your twin in the middle, nice pic of the fam bam.”

“The baby looks like the handful of them all.”

“The baby boy is @miketsterling all over again. He is looking more more like his daddy.”

In the caption, Eva wrote “And another one!!!! We are so excited that the cat is out the bag there goes my summer… But I could not be happier. Repost from @miketsterling. • My wife, Eva and I are so excited to welcome our new addition, baby Madison, into the Sterling family coming this fall. You’re about to be a godfather @demetricdotson.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
