Eva Marcille Reveals Why She Changed Her Daughter’s Last Name!

Eva Marcille has revealed that her daughter Marley Rae no longer has her estranged father Kevin McCall’s last name. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star revealed the news during a recent episode of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show and opened up about why her 5-year-old daughter now has the last name of her current husband Michael Sterling.

“Marley was born in 2014 and I gave her her biological father’s name,” she says. “After two months, we became estranged and I raised her as a single mom. And then, the good Lord saw fit for me to meet an amazing man, Michael Sterling, who has become my husband and the father of my later children. Long story short, we all have the name Sterling, and Marley is the only one with her biological father’s name and I saw it necessary and Mike saw it necessary to change her name.”



“We’ve been going through the process—I must say, it is not an easy process and it is not for the faint of heart—but we’ve been working through it and [as of] yesterday I can say thanks to the honorable Judge Manning here in Fulton County court granted me a name change for Marley. She is now officially and legally Marley Rae Sterling.”
