Bangs Garcia and Lloyd Birchmore


Bangs and Lloyd, who have been married for five years, are blessed with two amazing kids, Amelia and Isabella.

Former sexy actress Bangs Garcia was feeling nostalgic as she marked her 5th wedding anniversary with her Filipino-British husband Lloyd Birchmore.

Bangs married Lloyd three times: first in a civil wedding held in London in 2016, followed by a church wedding. In January 2017, they organized a beach wedding in the island paradise of Boracay.

In her Instagram post last January 26, Bangs remembered those precious events in her life.

She wrote, “It was our Civil Wedding Anniversary in September 2021, Church Wedding Anniversary last Sunday and Beach Wedding Anniversary last Monday. I can't help but reflect on the blissful moments life has brought to me and Lloyd since crossing paths in Boracay once upon a time. Now, we are 5 years married, WOOD you believe it?! 45 more years to come and we will alter into gold!”

Bangs went on to talk about her marriage with Lloyd, which she described as a “work in progress” and stressed that there's something new to discover about her partner in life.

“It may seem like we got it all figured out because that's what social media is most known for- but nope! In reality, it's not easy, it's never gonna be easy, that's too good to be true. We are still work in progress and I don't think that will ever end for any couple, you know? We will always discover something new about each other, every day we could make mistakes, we learn, we forgive, every day we learn to embrace each other's differences, every day we fall in love with each other, over and over and over again.

“That's the beauty in marriage, we get to do that for the rest of our lives! For as long as we will remain a Team of Loyalty, Compassion, Trust, Resilience and with well rooted faith in God then we can surely weather the worst of storms whilst we are here on earth.”

The celebrity mom then shared her advice to couples about strengthening their relationship.

Sh explains, “Every relationship is on a different path though, every marriage is unique, we can always learn something new from other couples too no matter how long or short they've been together. We should always bear in mind that marriage is a journey that involves great effort, we can't expect things to go smoothly all the time or just give up on each other whenever things get tough. Always compromise, be each other's rock, respect each other, appreciate each other even in the most simple ways.”

“I thank God that He has incredibly blessed me with the right man in this special journey. I love you so much @lloydiboi24! Thank you for everything! You really are an exceptionally amazing husband to me and wonderul father to our two beautiful kids! #ValLoydi #MrMrsBirchmore #BirchmoreWoodenAnniversary.”
