Eva Marcille is now a mom of two and even though she and her fiancé Michael Sterling are new parents, some things will never change between them, especially when it comes to sports.

While still resting in the hospital after welcoming their healthy newborn baby boy, Michael II, the former America’s Next Top Model winner took to Instagram to share that Sterling couldn’t help but watch the NBA playoffs from their room.

“New parents, old habits, watching the NBA playoffs while the Young Prince sleeps. #1daypostpartum,” she captioned the cheeky photos.

In the comments, the former Atlanta mayoral candidate wanted to make it clear that he wasn’t prioritizing playoffs over parenthood, and he was, in fact, cradling the newborn in his arms at the time the photo was taken.

“Baby, let the good people know I had Mike II in my arms and he was watching too, until he fell asleep. Lol. I love you!!,” Sterling wrote to the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member. 

The couple welcomed their baby boy on Friday the 13th after sharing that they were expecting their first child together in November and getting engaged over the Christmas holiday.
