Eva Marcille’s Husband Claps Back About How He Spends Money: "I Am Not Trying to Impress You"

Get to Know Eva Marcille's Fiancé Michael Sterling

Eva Marcille's husband, Michael Sterling, works hard for the money as an Atlanta-area attorney. And, as The Real Housewives of Atlanta husband noted on Instagram this week, he's not here to spend lavishly just to keep up with the Joneses, or conform to any fans' opinions on how he should live his life.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

"My work ethic belongs to my family. Don’t be mad, but I am not trying to impress you. #sterlingsays," he wrote on Instagram. "People are funny. They think I should spend my money trying to impress them with material things on a television show. I am not trying to impress you, I am working on a 200 year plan for my family. Legacy over labels."

Eva showed her support for his sentiment by sharing the Instagram he first posted on her own feed. She also commended him on RHOA this season. "Best husband ever and not a shabby lawyer either," Eva gushed on the January 19 episode of RHOA.

The January 19 episode of RHOA was especially emotional for the Sterlings. In it, Eva's daughter from a previous relationship, Marley Rae, officially took Michael's last name after he filed for a legal name change for Marley. The event culminated in an adorably low-key pizza party to celebrate the new chapter for the family.

Next up for the Sterlings? Michael plans to adopt Marley.
