Eva Marcille and her former husband, Michael Sterling, united once again for a joyous occasion—the fifth birthday celebration of their son, Maverick, on September 27. As a testament to their commitment to co-parenting, the duo decided to treat Maverick to a fun-filled outing at a hibachi restaurant, where he experienced the thrill of tossing an egg into the chef’s hat, an excitement that lit up his face.
Taking to Instagram, Marcille posted heartwarming photos from the celebration, accompanied by a touching message: “Early happy birthday to my big boy. You’re my baby, but you’re my world. I love you, Maverick Sterling. You are the epitome of your father, a Maverick, unconventional beyond expectations. Enjoy this fifth year of your life. We love you, Big boy!!! Officially 5 tomorrow.” Her words exemplified a mother’s love, showcasing her pride in her son as he stepped into a new and exciting year ahead.
Michael also shared his sentiments on social media, paying tribute to Maverick’s milestone with a heartfelt post: “Maverick Leonard Sterling. I cannot believe my youngest is now celebrating his 5th Birthday. Happy Birthday my son. I love you so much.” Despite their separation in 2023, both parents demonstrate a strong resolve to support their children and create cherished memories together. Together, they have two sons, Maverick and Michael Jr., who is six years old. Eva is also the mother of 10-year-old Marley Rae from a previous relationship.
In a candid April 2024 interview with Tamron Hall, Eva opened up about the emotional trials of her divorce, likening it to a profound loss. “I think divorce is grief. It is like a death. It is important to remember that you are not alone,” she expressed, highlighting the heavy toll the experience took on her both emotionally and physically. The struggles of the split resulted in unforeseen weight loss for the actress, which she attributed to the stress of the situation.
“Naturally going through life, I found myself depressed—before my divorce, through my divorce—trying to navigate and rediscover who I am,” she reflected. Eva emphasized her journey of self-discovery, noting that stepping away from the role of a wife required her to re-evaluate her identity: “I’m not the wife anymore; I’m someone’s mom. But if I took the mom away, if I take Madam away, if I take Top Model away, like, who is Eva? Who am I?” This journey of self-exploration is crucial to finding her true essence while balancing the responsibilities of motherhood.
As Eva and Michael navigate the complexities of co-parenting, their dedication to their children remains evident. They continually find ways to celebrate significant moments, ensuring that Maverick’s special day was filled with joy, laughter, and love, a testament to their enduring partnership as co-parents.
