Former actress Nikki Gil and her husband, BJ Albert, celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on Tuesday, November 21.

Nikki marked the occasion by sharing her short but sweet message for her husband on Instagram.

Alongside photos of herself and BJ, Nikki wrote, “8. Happy Anniversary @bj_albert. Will always be grateful to God that I get to do life with you! Looking forward to annoying our future teenagers with our PDA. Love you!”

Nikki and BJ tied the knot in November 2015 at the Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club in Laguna, after nine months of being engaged.

The couple were schoolmates at the Ateneo de Manila University. They were in the same circle of friends but were not officially introduced until a mutual friend set them up on a date in late 2013. At the time, Nikki had just split from her boyfriend of five years, television host and singer Billy Crawford.

Previously, the theater actress described her husband as "a man of God."

“He is sunshine, he is light, he is love,” she said. “If I were to describe him as a person, he’s a people person, very amiable, very proper, super-intelligent, very responsible and very prayerful as well, which is the thing that I’ve been asking God about a man I’d end up with… a man of God.”

Nikki and BJ now have two kids: Their firstborn, Finn, is turning 6 years old this month, while their youngest, Maddie, just turned 2 last October.

On stepping out of the limelight to focus on her family and being a mother, Nikki said she has zero regrets.

“I’m not missing it much yet (laughs). I’m happy with my quiet life. But I do miss work and the people that I used to work with,” she said in a previous interview with PUSH.

“Of course I kind of grew up in the industry as well so I spent many years with the staff and my fellow artists. I miss the bond but I think I’ve enjoyed that season enough and I’m just enjoying my season now which is motherhood," she added.

Sharing how she's changed since becoming a mom, the “Glowing Inside” singer said: “As a mom I’m told I am maharot but I am also a disciplinarian. It’s very hard to gauge how much I’ve changed. But I guess my biggest change so far would have to be that I’m more conscious of time and more conscious of time wasted.

"That’s probably also why I’m not really feeling the desire to go back into showbiz. Because it’s a lot of time away from my baby and time away from the family which at the moment I’m not really willing to give up," she added.
