When we spoke to Michael Jai White, around the release of his male stripper flick Chocolate City, the hunky martial artist described the moment, following a not-so life-threatening accident, when he realized he was in love with his new wife Gillian Waters.

“Upon thinking I was going to die, I realized one of the calls I had to make was to her to profess the fact that I felt like I’ve always been in love with her,” he explained.

That was two months ago and now, the lovebirds are married. Michael and Gillian wed in an intimate Thailand ceremony with elephants, drummers, Thai dancers and all.

Congrats!
