MANILA, Philippines \u2013 After weeks of speculation over Nikki Gil wearing what looked like an engagement ring as seen in her photos, the singer-host finally confirmed yesterday that she has been engaged to non-showbiz boyfriend, businessman BJ Albert.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confirming it. Yes, I got engaged last year. I\u2019m very happy. I\u2019m very, very happy,\u201d Nikki said in a television interview as she showed her ring.<\/p>\n

Nikki and her one-year boyfriend BJ has been set to get married this year. The 27-year-old celebrity surprised the public as she was always discreet about their relationship.<\/p>\n

Now, Nikki believed that it was the right time to share the good news to everyone. She admitted that BJ proposed to her on December 13, 2014, that is \u201812-13-14.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, he asked my parents, siyempre. Then, may pakulo na may corporate event ako. And then, pagdating doon, he asked. When I said yes at medyo nag-sink in na sa akin, all of my friends came out,\u201d Nikki recalled.<\/p>\n

(First, he asked my parents, of course. Then, there was this gimmick that I had a corporate event. And then, when I arrived in the venue, he asked [me]. When I said yes and when it all sank in to me, all of my friends came out.)<\/p>\n

Months after Nikki broke up with co-star Billy Crawford, she gave a second chance at love with entrepreneur BJ. The two were rumored to be in a relationship since last year.<\/p>\n

Last July, Nikki admitted dating \u2018special friend\u2019 BJ. And just the previous month on her MYX news program, she exclaimed that BJ was \u2018the one\u2019 and her \u2018source of joy.\u2019 In the same month, Nikki also shared a photo of her and boyfriend BJ seated beside each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod has his own timetable. He has his own timeline. Meron talaga siyang kwentong inihanda for me. I\u2019m just so happy that I listened, and it came to pass,\u201d she said in an interview.<\/p>\n

(God has his own timetable. He has his own timeline. He really has a story prepared for me. I\u2019m just so happy that I listened, and it came to pass.)<\/p>\n

After hosting the recent Wonderful World of Globe event on Wednesday, Nikki was asked by the entertainment press about her rumored engagement. The singer-host, however, refused to give a statement.<\/p>\n

Still, Nikki\u2019s Instagram photos provided clues of her walking down the aisle soon. Her followers noticed that her purity ring was different from the one she wore in her ring finger. It was also visible in her upcoming album cover photo and in her Europe trip photos.<\/p>\n

The Kapamilya star joined the celebrity wedding bandwagon as Toni Gonzaga, Solenn Heussaff, Yeng Constantino, Isabel Oli and Heart Evangelista earlier announced their marriage plans this year.<\/p>\n
