Former reality TV stars Eva Marcille and Toccara Jones were recently reunited on the red carpet at a special event celebrating TV One. The pair attended the network’s Uncensored premiere event on Tuesday, March 10, held at The Gathering Spot and hosted by Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris.
It had been quite some time since the two former contestants from America’s Next Top Model had seen each other in person. When they reunited, they warmly embraced and happily posed together for photographers, delighting fans who remember their time on the popular reality competition series.
Eva Marcille first rose to fame after winning Cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model in 2004. Competing under her birth name, Eva Pigford, she made history as the first contestant standing 5’7” to win the competition. During her time on the show, she secured two challenge wins and received two first call-outs from the judges, helping solidify her path to victory.
Since her reality TV breakthrough, Marcille has built a multifaceted career in entertainment and business. She is currently starring in the BET+ drama All the Queen’s Men while also expanding her cannabis lifestyle brand, Sunflower by Eva, into the Washington, D.C. market. In addition, she continues to pursue acting opportunities, recently appearing in a thriller produced for Lifetime. On the personal front, Marcille has been focusing on family life after reconciling with her husband, Michael Sterling.
Marcille is also a proud mother of three children: daughter Marley Rae Sterling, born in 2014, and two sons, Michael Todd Sterling Jr., born in 2018, and Maverick Leonard Sterling, born in 2019.
Meanwhile, Toccara Jones who competed alongside Marcille during Cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model became a fan favorite for her confidence and charisma. As one of the show’s standout plus-size contestants, she ultimately finished in seventh place but remained one of the most memorable personalities from the season.
Following her time on the show, Jones continued her television career with appearances on programs such as Celebrity Fit Club and hosting duties on Thick House. Today, she has shifted her focus toward wellness and spiritual healing. Based in Atlanta, Jones works as a sound healer and regularly hosts meditation and sound bath gatherings called “Soulful Stillness Rendezvous.”
Jones has also recently spoken publicly about her experiences during her time on America’s Next Top Model, sharing her perspective as conversations continue around the show following the release of a new documentary examining the series.
Their red carpet reunion served as a reminder of how far both women have come since their early reality TV days, with each forging her own path in entertainment, business, and personal growth.
