The 35-year-old model and reality star announced Tuesday that she is leaving "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" after two seasons on the Bravo franchise.

Marcille continued: "I am thankful for the opportunity I was provided. However, after speaking with my family and representatives, I believe that what I hope to accomplish for the culture and community will be better served by focusing on other opportunities."

Marcille added that the show was very time-consuming and she has a new husband, Michael Sterling, and a young family to raise.
"I have a 6-year-old daughter and two young boys still in diapers. They're 24-hours a day and there's a lot of work to be done," the mother-of-three said. "So I decided to spend my time and energy focusing on my kids and my community, and not so much reality show business."

And I wish them the most successful season and transformational season 13 that 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' has ever seen."
