‘Eva Is That You’: Fans Say Eva Marcille Looks Unrecognizable In New Photos Following Split from Michael Sterling

Eva Marcille‘s new Instagram post has fans doing a double take after noticing what they deemed her unrecognizable appearance.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum shared two images on her page featuring herself and two friends in different color onesies. 

The two ladies were lime green and gray, while Marcille wore an orange onesie with “Mine” written across her backside. Each had white painted toes.

“Friday night with @mzshyneka @iambarbielee,” she wrote as her caption.

Marcille’s post has attained over 30,000 likes with over 330 comments.

“Eva you look tf goodt,” wrote one fan. Another said, “Yall Ladies Look Good And Cute And Yall Feet Is Very Pretty.”

However, others couldn’t help but mention how different the mother of three appeared to look. 

“Eva is that you .Had to really look close. Wow!!”

A few social media users also zoomed in on Marcille’s dazed eyes and flushed cheeks, stating that smoking was the reason she didn’t look like her usual self. 

“Them cigarettes catching up with you! Look kinda old.”

“Eva looks like she be high af.” 

“Y’all look like y’all finna smoke nuffin but herb.”

As expected, there were a few fans who brought up Marcille’s estranged husband, Michael T. Sterling. One user wrote, “Please fix your marriage! Don’t wanna see a divorce.”

Another said, “Next you’ll be crying cause he’s going for joint custody..don’t disrespect your kids by doing this kind of stuff…it says THIRSTY!!!” 

Marcille filed for divorce from Sterling on March 23 after five years of marriage and three kids together. The estranged couple share two boys; 5-year-old Michael Sterling Jr. and 3-year-old Maverick Sterling. 

The Atlanta attorney adopted Marcille’s 9-year-old daughter, Marley Rae Sterling, after marrying her mother in 2020. Marley’s biological father is the “America’s Next Top Model” cycle three winner’s ex singer Kevin McCall. 

While details surrounding their split are currently unknown, many online have speculated it stems from Sterling’s current lawsuit stemming from a 2022 car crash he was involved in. 

The former political candidate is accused of causing an accident back in February 2022 while allegedly driving under the influence. Court documents allege he was driving recklessly and following too closely before crashing into the rear of another vehicle, even though he denied being under the influence.

Sterling has also voiced his desire to fight for his family despite Marcille’s adamance in ending their union.

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.
