Singer Nivea, reality star Tammy Rivera, and model-actress Eva Marcille recently sat down with Angie Martinez to dish on their new Peacock reality series, 'Eat Slay Love' Chronicling their unforgettable girls' trip to Vietnam in celebration of Nivea’s 42nd birthday, the show captures the trio’s journey of sisterhood, growth, and self-reflection. During the interview, the three stars gave an inside look into what viewers can expect and shared insights from their personal lives. The celebrity pals and London Hughes (not present for the interview) take a girls’ trip to rejuvenate themselves, find new inspiration, and celebrate Nivea’s birthday.
As they travel across Vietnam, the four women experience the vibrant Vietnamese culture and end up learning about themselves. But cultural clashes and misunderstandings within the group lead to early conflict, and the ladies must get things back on track. The spirituality and beauty of Vietnam serve as the backdrop as Nivea, Eva, Tammy, and London heal from heartache, strengthen friendships, and reevaluate their priorities back home.
Tammy Rivera on “No Drama” and Embracing Softness:
Tammy was quick to clarify that Eat Slay Love won’t follow the typical reality show formula of drama and confrontation. “We grown, we need to decompress,” she said, describing the series as a much-needed escape from the demands of their daily lives. Tammy, who is often known for her strong persona, revealed a softer side of herself on this trip and opened up about her current relationship. Calling it “very low-key,” she shared that they’re approaching their two-year mark together, and this relationship has allowed her to embrace a gentler version of herself.
Reflecting on past relationships, Tammy discussed how the public often fixates on pairing her with her ex, Waka Flocka Flame much like Bobby and Whitney’s ongoing association in the public eye. This dynamic of being tethered to her past, Tammy shared, has influenced her to redefine herself and find happiness without the shadows of her history.
Nivea on Secret Relationships and Being in Love:
While Tammy’s relationship is low-key, Nivea’s is under wraps entirely. “I have a different type of relationship, I am in LOVE,” she teased during the interview. Though she didn’t disclose her partner’s identity, Nivea hinted that her private romance is just how she likes it—unlike Tammy, who shares glimpses of her relationship with fans.
For Nivea, music became a way to express her love story. During a heartfelt moment on Eat, Slay, Love, Nivea dedicated a song to her secret romance, and she, Angie, Tammy, and Eva even shared a singalong, giving fans a glimpse of her softer, romantic side.
Eva Marcille’s Spiritual Journey and Sisterhood:
For Eva, the trip was more than a getaway—it was a transformative, spiritual experience. She described the adventure as “unpaid therapy,” where she reconnected with herself and her spirituality. “God inked this,” she explained, adding that she used the journey to reflect on life and surrender to a higher power. One of her biggest takeaways was learning to “slow things down and enjoy the process.”
As a mom, wife, and boss, Eva shared her perspective on finding peace and growth amid the pressures of daily life. She humorously mentioned her surprise at discovering the depths of her DMs, filled with unexpected messages from all kinds of admirers—even pastors. But through it all, she’s stayed focused on embracing her journey with authenticity and resilience.
Eva hopes Eat, Slay, Love exemplifies growth, maturity, and sisterhood, proving that women can support each other without the need for rivalry or drama.
The Essence of Eat, Slay, Love: Friendship and Growth:
Each woman had her unique takeaways from the experience, but all agreed that Eat Slay Love offers an honest portrayal of friendship and the healing power of travel. Viewers will get to see them as they truly are—mature, grounded, and ever-evolving. For these women, this series is about more than just a vacation; it’s a celebration of friendship, self-care, and the beauty of stepping away from the world to focus on oneself.
