Eva Marcille is making waves, announcing her rekindled relationship with her ex-husband years after their divorce.
Two years after finalizing their divorce, the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and her ex-husband, Michael Sterling , revealed that they are back together. Marcille took to Instagram on Sunday to post a video of herself riding in a golf cart with her ex-husband, revealing their rekindled relationship to the world. According to her caption, the video was captured at Essence Fest, which took place over the Fourth of July weekend in New Orleans.
In the footage, Sterling flashed a smile at the camera before Eva rested her head on his shoulder and laughed. “Happy essence!” The reality star wrote over the video. “I’m floating🌻 Soft launch #Ganggang #ESSENCEFEST.”
The reality star’s fellow real housemates took to the comments section to gush over the clip, with Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, and Gretchen Rossi leaving heart emojis in support of the relationship’s rekindling.
Marcille and Sterling began dating in 2016, with the lawyer proposing in December of the following year. In April 2018, the couple welcomed their son, Michael Jr., now 7, and married six months later. After their wedding in Georgia, Marcille named their 11-year-old daughter, Marley, after Sterling’s last name from a previous relationship. Their second son, Maverick, now 5, was born in September 2019.
In 2023, the pair split, with Marcille citing “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce filing.
“This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, but sometimes life takes you in a direction you didn’t expect,” Marcille told PEOPLE at the time. “Our children remain our highest priority, and the eight and a half years we spent together will always be cherished. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.”
The year after the split, the actress opened up about the weight she lost during the “tough” breakup during an appearance on Tamron Hall’s show.
“It’s like the stomach flu—you’ll be skinny afterward,” Marcille said in April 2024.
