Eva Marcille
When Eva Marcille won in the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model, she realized that she had to work hard to make sure her career takes off. The stunning celebrity-in-the-making was attending Clark Atlanta University and trying to get a degree at that time, but she quit school and focused on modeling instead. Part of her winnings was a contract with Ford Models, a contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics, and a spread on Elle.
Her career proved to be prolific as she also appeared on various TV shows and movies, including Smallville, Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, and The Walk. The actress-model later joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and was promoted to full-time cast member starting on its 11th season. There, Eva had served as an inspiration to other women because she was open about her struggles when she was in a relationship. Currently, she is in a happy relationship with Atlanta lawyer Michael Sterling who married her in 2018.
