Eva Marcille and Michael Sterling tied the knot on October 7, 2018, lasting just shy of four and a half years. However, their relationship lasted much longer. One year earlier, Marcille shared with Hello Beautiful that she and Sterling “started dating about three years [ago].” This puts means their start date landed somewhere in 2014. The “America’s Next Top Model” alum also shared that she met Sterling through one of her friends. “We all went to this fundraiser where I met this man named Michael T. Sterling and I thought he was very interesting,” said Marcille. “I didn’t know right away what it was, but there was something about him.”

At the time of the interview, Marcille was already pregnant with her first of two children with Sterling (her second of three overall). Their oldest, Mikey Sterling, was born on April 13, 2018 — roughly six months before their luxurious wedding. Like any true “housewife,” Marcille’s nuptials were captured by Bravo’s camera. According to Essence, the white-tie affair cost the reality star $350,000. And while Marcille did face some scrutiny about whether or not she could afford such an upscale wedding (along with a back-stabbing bridesmaid), she obviously doesn’t regret her big day. “My wedding was fabulous,” shared Marcille during an “RHOA” after-show. “My wedding was a thousand times better than anything I could have ever planned.”
