Eva Marcille, who is one of the cast members of the Bravo reality television show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," is officially engaged to her longtime boyfriend Mike Sterling. Just recently, Sterling proposed to Marcille, who happily said yes to the lawyer. The reality TV star shared the news on her social media page, to the delight of her fans. 

In Marcille's Instagram page, which she posted just a day after Christmas, she showed the world how big and beautiful her engagement ring is. The picture depicts her wearing the ring while she is touching her face to emphasize her new ring -- while also wearing a big smile on her face. The caption of the photo simply reads, "I said yes," which is accompanied by multiple exclamation marks to express how happy she is. 

The engagement ring appears to be quite large, which is the dream of any bride-to-be -- and something that some of her fans are probably coveting.    

As of now, the 33-year-old Marcille is already pregnant with her soon-to-be second child, making the proposal an appropriate and timely one -- especially since it came just a month after Marcille announced that she was pregnant. The year 2017 is a very fortunate one for Marcille, and it is safe to assume that the proposal is the best one to cap the year off. Marcille's first child, 3-year-old Marley Rae, is from her previous relationship with Kevin McCall. 

When Marcille publicly revealed that she was pregnant, she also shared that she is happy about the baby's gender -- and she is extremely ecstatic that it is going to be a baby boy. Initially, she thought that another girl might not bode well down the road for her first daughter, since Marley Rae is described to be "extremely expressive." 

Marcille has been confirmed to join the cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" once more, as the show embarks on its 10th season. 

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 10 returns Sunday, Jan. 7, at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
