Eva Marcille and Michael Sterling have reunited more than two years after their split.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 40, revealed that she attended the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans alongside her former estranged husband, 64, on Instagram — prompting a reaction from several of her friends.

In an Instagram video she shared on July 5, the reality star could be seen riding in a golf cart alongside Sterling as she told the camera, “Happy Essence!” She then panned the camera over to the lawyer who grinned widely. Afterward, she laughed and laid her head on his shoulder.

“Happy Essence! I’m floating🌻 soft launch,” she captioned the video alongside the hashtags “gang gang” and “essencefest.”

She also responded to one comment under the post that read, “She loves that man down!!!!,” to which she added, “and do!!!!!”

The post also garnered praise from her fellow Real Housewives costars, including Shamea Morton, who commented under the post, “🌻😍 Loved seeing y’all😍🌻.” The Real Housewives of New York star Ubah Hassan also praised the reunion, writing, “Cue the happy dances 😍😍😍😍😍.”

This comes two years after Marcille filed for divorce and stated that their marriage was “irretrievably broken,” according to documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time. 

“This has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but sometimes life takes your journey in a direction you were not expecting,” Marcille told PEOPLE in a statement at the time. “Our children remain our biggest priority and the eight and half years we have spent together will always be cherished. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.”

The pair share three children: son 5-year-old Michael Sterling, Jr., whom they welcomed in 2018 and Maverick Sterling, 5. Sterling is also a father figure to Marcille’s 9-year-old daughter Marley Rae from her previous relationship with ex Kevin McCall.

Despite the split, Sterling has still been a presence in the RHOA’s star’s life, as she even wished him a “Happy Father’s Day” on Instagram a few months after announcing their divorce.

Alongside photos of him spending time with their three children, she wrote, “To the best father a child could ever deserve. Happy Father’s Day @miketsterling. May you know and properly appreciate how much we love you.”

Sterling has also continued to post photos alongside their three children on Instagram. On Christmas, he shared snaps from a photoshoot he did with the kids. The three could be seen playing with fall leaves. 

“Merry Christmas from my family to yours,” he wrote. “We have moments and memories to make and cherish. We have love to give, and we have to give it. Time keeps coming. It doesn’t stop. Let us all enjoy this season and be grateful for what we do have!! Merry Christmas. Family business. From my family to yours.”

Gia Giudice is in her mom’s corner.

The “Next Gen NYC” star vehemently defended Teresa Giudice for ending a recent interview over a tax fraud question.

The 24-year-old blasted host Chicago’s WGN9 host Larry Potash as “insulting” and “unprofessional” during Tuesday’s “Viall Files” podcast episode.

The journalist, notably, asked Teresa, “How is it that a family doesn’t pay their taxes for years? Is that what the fraud charges were?”

The Bravolebrity, who served 11 months in prison for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud, replied, “OK. Let’s just hang up. That’s it.”

She hung up the phone — although Gia joked that her mother felt “frazzled” and showed she is “not tech savvy” in any way.

“I thought she handled it perfectly,” the Rutgers University graduate added. “She’s just over it. People have this whole narrative that we just don’t pay our taxes.

“It’s honestly comical for me,” Gia continued. “But I feel so bad for my mom because she’s been busting her ass and paying everything since she got out.”

She acknowledged that “people want [Teresa] to set the record straight,” while insisting it’s “frankly … nobody’s business.”

Gia noted, “People think they know [what happened] still to this day, and they don’t.”

Teresa and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, pleaded guilty to fraud in 2014, with the 53-year-old businessman serving two years before he was deported to his native Italy in 2019.

The duo called it quits after two decades of marriage following Joe’s deportation.

Teresa moved on with husband Luis Ruelas, whom she wed in August 2022, and the duo have alleged tax troubles of their own.

Page Six obtained documents in March revealing the cookbook author owes $303,889.20 in tax liens.

As for Ruelas, the 50-year-old businessman allegedly owes more than $2.6 million.

Gia, however, told her “Casual Chaos” podcast listeners that there is “nothing to worry about.”

She claimed, “My mom has everything under control. [Ruelas] is also working on getting everything resolved as well.”

Gia thanked fans for their “concern,” concluding, “Everything’s going to be fine.”

If you love your Stanley Cup but hate lugging it around all summer, you’ve got to try this crossbody bag.

The WanderFull HydroBag offers a stylish, hands-free way to keep your heavy tumbler ready for sips during trips and treks. This roomy sling bag even landed a coveted spot on Oprah Winfrey’s list of her favorite things two years in a row. “Now, this is a design I haven’t seen before — cute and multifunctional,” the media mogul previously said. “It holds my water bottle when I’m hiking in Maui.”

The brand dropped 13 lively new colors and prints, and most of them are at Amazon for all your summer activities — whether they take you to the Hawaiian Islands or just your neighborhood walking trails.

WanderFull HydroBag in White Tennis

The updated HydroBag colors range from sporty, like the tenniscore-inspired option above and the understated pickleball print below, to maximal, like a teal multicolor pattern that reminds us of Lilly Pulitzer and a fun green plaid. All colors are the same price right now and come with free shipping, but note the delivery dates because some will arrive quicker than others.

WanderFull HydroBag in White Pickle

Like the classic Wanderfull HydroBag, these versions have ample room for a tumbler or water bottle that measures up to 3.5 inches in diameter. Plus, there are two zippered pockets for more essentials. The bigger pocket is made to hold large smartphones — the bottle pouch lining is waterproof, just so you know — while the smaller one is ideal for stashing cards, keys, and lip gloss. The wide, guitar-style strap is adjustable for wearing as a shoulder bag or crossbody bag.

In addition to keeping your drink close and your hands empty during your daily activities, the water bottle holder protects your water bottle from nicks and dings. Both the bag and the strap can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.
