The America's Next Top Model season three winner has requested legal and primary custody of their children and asked for child support from Sterling including medical and dental costs. Marcille also wants an "equitable division of all marital assets" they share, and their debt while also wanting her separate property. The two started dating in 2016, got engaged in December 2017, and tied the knot on an episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta.


"I promise to love you unconditional, unrelenting, comforting and eternal. I promise you not only this present love, but future love. The future love that can't forecast the unpredictability of life but is prepared to withstand the hardships, the pains, and the struggles," Sterling's views had said. "Michael, you're my safe place. In a world that is often disappointing, you give me hope. Learning to love the biggest part of me, my daughter Marley, holding my truth and my fragility firmly in your hands, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was designed for you. Our bond is unbreakable and our love is pure," Marcille had replied.
