Michael Sterling, the estranged husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Eva Marcille, says he will try to win her back following their recent filing for divorce.
“I will not lose my wife,” Sterling said in a statement to The Jasmine Brand on Wednesday, when news of the divorce going forward was filed. “I will fight for her with every fiber of my being.”
He continued, “I love her and I intend to show her how much I love her and that our love is strong enough to get to the other side.”
Sterling’s testimony came a day after Page Six reported that the 38-year-old Los Angeles native told the court that her marriage to the attorney was “irretrievably broken.”
The America’s Next Topmodel alum told the court that “there is no prospect of a reconciliation” as she is seeking primary custody of her children with Sterling and child support.

The estranged couple tied the knot in October 2018 and have two children – sons Michael, four, and Maverick, three. Marcille is mother to nine-year-old daughter Marley with singer Kevin McCall.
Sterling raised the child and she has used his last name for the past three years, Page Six reported. Sterling posted a picture of the three children in a social media post on Tuesday.
Marcille made it clear in legal documents that she and Sterling are separated at this time, TMZ reported.
Marcille said in court documents that she should have final decision-making authority over issues related to the children as their primary caregiver, the outlet reported.
Sterling should cover the children’s medical and dental expenses, Marcille told the court. She said she aims for an equal division of assets and debts during the marriage, the outlet reported.
Marcille and Sterling first got engaged on Christmas Day in 2017.
The couple’s split comes as a bit of a shock as Marcille took to Instagram with two pictures of the couple and a clip of them dancing on Valentine’s Day last month. She wrote: “Happy Valentine’s Day forever and ever @miketsterling#US.”
Sterling called Marcille his “Forever Valentine” in one post, adding, “My forever Valentine. I’m so in love with you there’s nothing else. Happy Valentine’s Day.”
