From The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG Kyle Richards using (fairly recent) throwback photos of herself as inspiration to exercise to The Real Housewives of Orange County mom Braunwyn Windham-Burke’s pledge to aim to be “strong” instead of “skinny,” plenty of Bravolebrities are opening up about the things that have been influencing them to stay active lately. The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Eva Marcille is now opening up about her own personal fitness journey, including the super sweet reason she has been motivated to exercise. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

In a May 5 Instagram post, Eva shared a set of selfies she took after completing her daily run, in which she’s sporting a super cute floral baseball cap, a bold pair of neon green shorts, a waist trainer, and a fanny pack covered in a sunflower pattern. 

“Feeling good after my run today,” she captioned the post. Eva credits her husband, Mike Sterling, for inspiring her to get out and moving. “Motivated by my amazing husband @miketsterling who leads by example and dedication,” she wrote. 

Although it sounds like Eva’s husband is a positive influence in terms of staying active, the man knows when it is time to kick back and relax. Mike has recently developed an alter ego named “Patio Mike,” who comes out when he is hanging out on the patio of the family’s Atlanta home.
