Jackie and Michel have been in a relationship since 2007 and the latter worked for a multinational company.

The actress shared on Instagram, “And just like that WE are 40! Belated Happy birthday to my rock. A few wrinkles here plus an extra few pounds there, 5 children between us and a whole lot of stories of trials and triumph to last our lifetime together.

"It's true that nothing can really prepare you for the goodness that the Lord will bless you with. I am always in awe of how things turn out after a complete surrender.”

She also admitted that even though they have been together for more than 11 years, they are still a "work in progress."

“It's never easy, but we've gotten through so much. I wouldn't have been able to live as beautifully as I have the last 11.5years without my husband. We are both a work in progress and that work will never be done because we are always open to growing and learning. The biggest thing I've accepted to fully be and do in the years with my husband is to be honest and true in whatever I do and whomever I encounter.”

And just like that WE are 40! Belated Happy birthday to my rock 💜 A few wrinkles here plus an extra few pounds there, 5 children between us and a whole lot of stories of trials and triumph to last our lifetime together. It's true that nothing can really prepare you for the goodness that the Lord will bless you with. I am always in awe of how things turn out after a complete surrender. Which often times gets scary. It's never easy, but we've gotten through so much. I wouldn't have been able to live as beautifully as I have the last 11.5years without my husband. We are both a work in progress and that work will never be done because we are always open to growing and learning. The biggest thing I've accepted to fully be and do in the years with my husband is to be honest and true in whatever I do and whomever I encounter. There is no bigger gift you can bless another with than the truth. The truth of who you are and what you stand for. It's up to those who you get to meet if they accept you or not. With this being said my husband and I still value our privacy, So we still have many moments and information we would appreciate - be kept Private. There is beauty and peace in keeping many things sacred and between you and your loved ones. I truly believe that's one of the biggest reasons why despite all of our setbacks and hardships we can withstand it and come out stronger. On my 40th birthday I want to bless all of you with a prayer of contentment and confidence in your life and your relationships, specially in your marriage - that you may always remember what you stand for and who you are amidst all the chaos this world brings. Remember that onlookers and social media should never dictate your intentions or change your heart. Choose people over things and family should always come first! God see's your heart ❤️and He will know the right time to shower you with the blessings that are good for you. And what's meant for you, will always be Yours!!! Amen? Amen!✨ 🍷 🎂
