According to court documents recently obtained by TMZ, Eva Marcille has filed for divorce from her husband Michael Sterling. The reality star would later confirm the news to People. “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,” she said. “Our children remain our biggest priority and the eight and half years we have spent together will always be cherished. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.” In her filing, Marcille requests primary and legal custody of the couple’s kids as well as equal division of the assets they acquired while married.

But while Marcille sees no light at the end of the tunnel, Sterling is not giving up just yet. “I am not going to lose my wife. I am going to fight for her with every fiber in my being,” he told The Jasmine Brand. “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.” The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum is, however, seemingly finding the silver lining amid her troubles. Taking to Instagram recently, Marcille shared a video of herself flashing a smile while hanging out with a friend. “Tues-yay. That’s a fake ass smile, but it’s okay. Smile anyway, right?” she said in the clip (via Page Six).
