Eva Marcille isn’t giving up on her marriage to Michael Sterling.
Over the 4th of July weekend, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star seemingly confirmed that she is reconciling with her estranged husband.
“Happy Essence!” Marcille, 40, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 5, while experiencing the annual music festival in New Orleans with Sterling. “I’m floating🌻 soft launch #ganggang #essencefest.”
In the social media clip, Marcille was seen smiling from ear to ear as she briefly rested her head on Sterling’s shoulder while driving through the city. (Us Weekly has reached out to Marcille and Sterling’s reps for additional comment.)
Soon after sharing the post on social media, many friends of the couple — including Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, Dr. Jackie Walters and Toya Bush Harris — expressed their excitement at the news of their apparent reconciliation.
“🌻😍 Loved seeing y’all😍🌻,” The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Shamea Morton wrote in the comments section. The Real Housewives of New York City star Ubah Hassan added, “Cue the happy dances 😍😍😍😍😍.”
When one fan commented that Marcille, “loves that man down!!!!” she replied, “And do!!!”
In March 2023, Marcille filed for divorce from Sterling after more than four years of marriage. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip alum called her marriage “irretrievably broken” with “no prospects for a reconciliation.”
The couple share sons Mikey, 7, and Maverick, 5. Marcille is also mom to daughter Marley, 11, whom she shares with ex Kevin McCall.
“He was put in my life so that I could bring the biggest sunshine into my family, which is my daughter, Marley,” Marcille said about McCall during a May 2020 episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. “I wouldn’t take it back ‘cause if I took it back, I wouldn’t have [my daughter].”
While Marcille has tried to keep her personal life out of the spotlight ever since leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta in June 2020, Sterling previously vowed to fight for his wife and their marriage after she filed for divorce.

“I am not going to lose my wife,” he told TheJasmineBrand in March 2023. “I am going to fight for her with every fiber in my being. I love her and I plan to show her how much I love her and that our love is strong enough to get to the other side.”
After returning home from the Essence Festival, Marcille reposted a message from an account about happiness.
“Everything I want for myself, I want for everyone around me,” the quote read on Monday, July 7. “I hope we all make it and I hope we all find the things that make us happy.”
