In a heartwarming display of enduring love and signature humor, acclaimed Nigerian comedian, actor, and filmmaker Bovi Ugboma has marked his 16th wedding anniversary with his wife, Kris Asimonye, sharing a series of adorable family photos that have set social media abuzz.
The couple, who tied the knot on this very day in 2009, flooded their Instagram pages with snapshots capturing their journey from newlyweds to proud parents of three children: David, Elena, and another little one who completes their lively brood. Bovi, known for his quick wit and relatable storytelling, couldn’t resist injecting his comedic flair into the milestone moment. Captioning the post, he quipped, “16/16. When we get bored, we’ll make new ones,” a playful nod to their growing family and unshakeable bond.
The photos showcase the Ugbomas in high spirits—Bovi grinning ear-to-ear beside Kris, who radiates elegance in a flowing gown, flanked by their beaming kids in coordinated outfits. One image captures the family in a tender group embrace, while another highlights Kris’s radiant smile, a testament to the couple’s shared adventures over the years.
Fans and fellow celebrities wasted no time showering the post with love. Comedian AY Makun commented, “16 years strong! You guys are goals. Keep rigging the elections of love! 😂❤️” while singer Tiwa Savage added, “Beautiful family. Happy anniversary to real love.” Netizens echoed the sentiment, with one user writing, “Restoring my faith in forever after. May God keep blessing this union,” and another noting, “Africa’s favorite funny family just got funnier with age!”
This isn’t the first time Bovi and Kris have turned heads with their anniversary celebrations. In 2023, the pair renewed their vows in a quirky beachside ceremony officiated by mariners, blending romance with Bovi’s love for the unconventional. Kris, a UK-based interior designer who has kept her maiden name—a choice Bovi proudly supports—recently turned a year older, prompting Bovi to dub her his “guardian angel” and “gold mine.”
Reflecting on their union in past interviews, Bovi has often credited Kris for grounding his high-energy career, once joking that he “never planned for three kids but thank God for unplanned blessings.” The couple’s story continues to inspire, proving that 16 years in, love can still feel fresh and full of laughter.
As Bovi put it best: 16 years today, and these are the results so far. Here’s to many more “new ones” in the chapters ahead.
