Eva Marcille is divorcing Michael Sterling who she married in October 28 after less than five years of marriage.
The couple is ‘currently living in a bona fide state of separation,’ per Marcille’s complaint.
The ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ stars filed the paperwork Thursday at the Superior Court of Fulton County, saying their union is ‘irretrievably broken’ and that ‘there are no prospects for a reconciliation.’
‘This has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but sometimes life takes your journey in a direction you were not expecting,’ Marcille told People magazine of her divorce.
‘Our children remain our biggest priority, and the eight-and-a-half years we have spent together will always be cherished. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.’
Marcille, 38, and Sterling, who is a trial lawyer, got married in October 2018 and welcomed two children together: son Michael ‘Mikey’ Jr., who will turn 5 next month, and son Maverick, who will celebrate his 4th birthday in September.
Marcille is also mom to daughter Marley, 9, whose biological father is R&B singer Kevin McCall.
However, Sterling raised the little girl as his own and even gave her his last name in 2020.
The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Cycle 3 winner is demanding primary custody of the kids as well as child support.
The couple’s separation comes just one month after Marcille gushed over her husband.
‘Happy Valentine’s Day forever and ever @miketsterling #US,’ she captioned a captioned an Instagram video of them dancing together.
Sterling also wrote on Instagram: ‘My forever Valentine. ‘I am so in love with you that there isn’t anything else.’ Happy St. Valentine’s Day. #thesterlings.’
