Pretty actress, singer and VJ presenter Nikki Gil who’s marrying her businessman boyfriend, BJ Albert next month is still undecided on whether she will resume her showbiz career or be a full-time wife after the wedding.
For those who are not aware of Gil’s background, her real name is Monica Pauline Gil. She is of Filipino, German and Spanish ancestry. Her mother, Julie is a church choir member while her father, Dino is a musician (piano player) and they were the two most influential persons who motivated and encouraged Nikki to sing and act.
Gil formally entered the showbiz circle through an advertisement for Coca-Cola and later accepted the offer as video jock for the music channel of ABS-CBN, MYX sometime in 2005 and in the same year, she also released her first self-titled album. She eventually joined the cast of ABS-CBN’s musical variety show ASAP and was also picked to host the Pinoy Dream Academy which was a reality-based talent search. Nikki’s song “Gotta Go My Own Way” was included in the original sound track of High School Musical 2, Asian Disney Channel. Gil appeared in the fantasy series Rounin in 2007 and apparently made her initial movie appearance doing a cameo role in the movie One More Chance. In 2013, Nikki won the PMPC Star Awards for TV as Best Single Performance By An Actress for her role in “MMK.”
Meanwhile, Nikki said in an interview with ABS-CBN news that she wants to just “go with the flow” at the moment. She pondered: “Different season, different chapter. We’ll see. Right now, my focus is on what’s happening in my life right now, on the wedding. We’ll see what happens.”
Nikki also said that after her wedding, she will certainly take the opportunity to have a much-needed rest. She disclosed: “Mahabang mahabang bakasyon.”
When asked about planning to start a family as soon as possible, she replied: “Tignan natin. Mahirap mag-plano ng ganyan. Kung ano ang ibigay ng Panginoon, doon tayo.”
Nikki and BJ are now busy preparing for their forthcoming wedding which prompted her to take a break from appearing and performing in the musical variety show ASAP from the ABS-CBN Kapamilya network.
Some of her close friends from showbiz such as Shaina Magdayao and Iya Villania will be part of the wedding as confirmed by Gil.
After more than a year of having a relationship, Nikki and BJ realized their much love for each other and eventually got engaged in December 2014.
We wish Nikki and BJ all the best, particularly on their journey as a married couple.
