Eva Marcille is ending her nearly five-year marriage with Michael Sterling.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Marcille filed for divorce from Sterling on March 23.
"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," Marcille told People. "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."
Marcille and Sterling tied the knot on Oct. 7, 2018 and share three children, 4-year-old Michael Sterling Jr., Maverick Sterling, 3, and Marley Rae from The Real Housewives of Atlanta star's previous relationship with ex Kevin McCall.
In court documents, Marcille said her marriage was "irretrievably broken" with no chance of reconciliation. The pair are "currently living in a bona fide state of separation." Marcille is asking the judge for legal and primary physical custody of their three children along with child support from Sterling.
The America's Next Top Model alum is also seeking "equitable division" of all the assets and debt the couple acquired during their marriage.
