‘Omg She’s Another Eva’: Eva Marcille’s Daughter Steals the Spotlight in Holiday-Themed Family Photo

Eva Marcille got her fans in the holiday spirit on Dec. 9 after she uploaded images from her annual family photo shoot.

Marcille shared a stream of images, including a group snapshot of the family posing for the camera. The former television personality’s other pic showed her three kids Marley Rae,6, Michael Todd, 2, and Maverick, 1, showcasing their modeling looks. Marcille captioned the post, “Happy Holidays from our family to yours. “When times are good, be grateful, and when times are tough, be graceful.” #sterlingsays #thesterlings@evamarcille.” Many fans raved over the holiday-inspired shots.

Even though many followers admired Marcille’s family shoot, several others couldn’t help but bring up rapper Kevin McCall, the former reality star’s ex and father to her 6-year-old daughter. One commented about how they felt McCall would publicly breakdown upon viewing the new pics: “Y’all know Kevin McCall bout to have a meltdown as soon as he sees this.”

Another agreed by pointing out they are anticipating his next post.
“Such a beautiful family. ❤️ Somebody go check on Kevin, though. Waiting for his post in 4,3,2,1…..🤦🏽‍♀️.”

An Instagram user responded that Marcille should give the rapper a chance to see Marley despite the former couple’s history. “That needs to see his daughter 💙.”

Last month the musician uploaded an emotional video regarding his children — Marley and Jenesis — whom he hasn’t seen in six years. McCall told his followers that because he’s not himself, he “won’t be talking to anyone for a while.” The 35-year-old further explained that his absence in his daughters’ lives over the years has taken a toll on him. He said in the now-deleted post, “I don’t want to see or talk to any of you because you aren’t my child. If you can’t do that, all u can do is pray and not bother me until you have an understanding about a father’s bond to his children.”

The rapper added once children are born, both parents should have unlimited access in their lives so they can receive “love and affection.”

The video was in response to refusals by both of the mothers of his children for visitation. Marcille obtained restraining and protective orders against McCall for allegedly abusing her while pregnant with Marley.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
