Even though Michael's arrival was surely exciting, Marcille shared that her hubby-to-be couldn't resist catching a peek at the NBA playoffs from their hospital room. The actress/model shared a snap of Sterling in front of the television, writing: "New parents, old habits watching the NBA playoffs while the Young Prince sleeps."

The Los Angeles native first announced news of her pregnancy back in November. Michael is her first child with Sterling; she also has a daughter named Marley Rae from a previous relationship.

From 2008 to 2009, Marcille played the role of Y&R's Tyra, the aunt who raised Devon [Bryton James] when it became clear her crack-addicted sister, Yolanda, couldn't do it. Some of her additional credits include Kevin Hill, House of Payne, and Born Again Virgin.
