Atlanta reality star and actress Eva Marcille and her attorney boyfriend Michael Sterling got engaged on Christmas Day.

Sterling, who ran for Atlanta mayor earlier this year, proposed and gave her a ring she showed off on Instagram.

Marcille, who is scheduled to appear at some point on "Real Housewives of Atlanta" this season, won season three of "America's Next Top Model" in 2004. She attended Clark Atlanta University but left to compete on that show.
