Eva Marcille Is Pregnant
Eva Marcille and her fiance Michael Sterling are expecting their first child together - a baby boy.
The "Top Model" winner-turned-"Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member and politician boo weren't expecting a little bundle of joy, but they are thrilled.
In a post on her IG page, Eva wrote:
We're Expecting!!!!! 5 months in and we couldn't be more excited!!! @miketsterling gets a mini me and #Marley gets a sidekick....
Via People:
"I said, 'Marley, would you like to have a little brother or sister?' And she said, 'Yes, Mom, but you know what? Maybe a baby brother. Make it a brother,'" the 33-year-old mom-to-be recalls of the sweet conversation between herself and her little girl.
"I thought that was adorable, but at the time, I had no idea what I was having, so my fear [about] this extremely expressive and outgoing young girl [was] if this baby came out to be a little girl, that might not be a great situation for Marley," adds Marcille with a laugh.
"However, I found out soon after
that I was having a boy, and I felt like she willed it in her favor. I'm beyond elated to be having a boy."
Eva, who is currently starring on VH1's "Scared Famous," revealed the baby news was shocking and unexpected.
"My body felt super weird. I didn't know what was going on," she says. "I went to the doctor and because of my symptoms, he decided to do an ultrasound to see if I had any cysts or tumors or fibroids or things of that nature."
"He did an ultrasound and lo and behold, we were seven and a half weeks pregnant," Marcille continues. "I was like, 'What?!' I was expecting the worst only to find out I was carrying a life. It was crazy."
And her reaction upon finding out? "I was shocked and terrified all at the same time," she admits. "It was not planned - it was very unexpected, and [Michael] was in the middle of this mayoral campaign where being pregnant was not a part of the agenda."
Congrats!!
