Eva Marcille is submitting for divorce from Michael Sterling after nearly 5 years

The Shade Room has obtained court documents confirming reality TV star Eva Marcille, 38, has filed for divorce from her husband Michael Sterling, 41. The couple have been married for five years and have two children together.

According to court documents filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County on March 23, 2023, Eva cited the marriage as “irretrievably broken up” and stated that there was no possibility of a reconciliation.

Eva is asking for primary custody and child support in divorce documents

Marcille’s divorce filing includes details of the couple’s living arrangements and custody of their children.

The documents state that the couple’s children have lived with Eva and Michael at the conjugal residence in Alpharetta, Georgia, for at least five years.

Eva claims in her petition that she is a “fit and proper person” to have legal and primary physical custody of the children, with ultimate decision-making authority over all matters – and calls for primary custody to be granted on a permanent basis.

In addition, Eva has requested temporary and permanent child support under Georgia law.

Couple posted on Valentine’s Day, six weeks before their divorce

On Valentine’s Day, the wife posted a photo to her Instagram account with her husband and captioned the moment, “Happy Valentine’s Day forever and ever @miketsterling.”

Michael shared his own tribute to Eva on Instagram, calling it his “Forever Valentine.”
