Eva Marcille belongs to the class of celebrities who rose to prominence before the age of twenty. Marcille dropped out of college at the age of 19 to contest in the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model and later emerged the winner of the competition. Her victory, which came with prizes such as a modeling deal with Ford Models, a CoverGirl cosmetics deal, and a spread in Elle marked the beginning of her career.

From starting out as an inexperienced model, Marcille has grown to become a first-rate supermodel in the industry as well as an actress and television show host. Besides walking the runway for several fashion brands, she has also appeared in over 20 television series. Her recent projects in the movie industry are Scared Famous and The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Her Early Life and Rise to Fame

The elegant model is the daughter of Michelle Yvette Smith (an African-American) and Evan Anthony Pigford (a Puerto Rican). Her mother, Michelle, gave birth to her in Los Angeles, California, on October 30, 1984.

Eva’s full name is Eva Marcille Pigford. She, however, took up the name “Eva Pigford” when she began acting. According to records, her middle name was coined from her grandmother’s name; it’s actually a combination of her granny’s names, “Marjorie” and “Lucille”.

Talking about the model’s education, she had her elementary education at Raymond Avenue Elementary School and later studied at Marina Del Rey Middle School, from where she finished up at Washington Preparatory High School in 2002.

Marcille furthered her education at the renowned Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia but eventually withdrew from the institution of learning shortly after she won the hotly-contested America’s Next Top Model.

Shortly after Marcille’s relationship with Lance ended, she got connected to Florida-born singer/rapper Tramar Lacel Dillard and later began an affair with him. However, the duo’s relationship only lasted for two years (from 2010 to 2012). Popularly known as Flo Rida, Dillard was born on the 17th day of September 1979. He has been in the music industry since 2000.

Eva’s next stop was at the doorsteps of Los-Angeles’ musician cum actor, Kevin McCall. The pair began dating in 2013 and welcomed their first child, a daughter called Marley, in January 2014 before calling it quits some months later.
