The male artist's wife is Bao Vy, not active in the arts. The two met in the US during Van Son's establishment in a foreign land. At that time, his wife completely did not know he was an artist. After a period of getting to know each other, they got married in 1990, when his wife was only 21 years old.
More than three decades of attachment, the comedian has repeatedly mentioned his partner with respect mixed with humor. On his wedding anniversary, he once called his wife "the queen of prison guards" - a witty way of speaking but expressing a strong attachment. For Van Son, his wife is not only a companion in life but also a solid rear, supporting him in work and together managing the family.
Despite being famous, the male artist always adheres to the principle of protecting the privacy of loved ones. His wife's appearances in public are very rare, mainly on special occasions. This discreetness makes his family life even more attractive to the audience.
Currently, Van Son and his wife have two grown sons. At the age of over 60, he chooses a balanced life between work and family, spending more time with loved ones, especially during the period when artistic activities are interrupted.
Not only attracting attention with a sustainable marriage, Van Son's parenting method also received attention. Sharing with Lao Dong Newspaper, the male comedian said that he does not force his children to follow in his footsteps but respects the personal choices of each person.
He said: "I don't force my children to follow my profession. My children once asked me: "Dad, what profession will you learn in the future to stabilize your life?". I said that if you want a stable profession, you can think of jobs related to health care, such as nurses, doctors, doctors... because people always need health.
But then I also said something more important: Choose the job you like. Like me now, there are jobs that are almost deadly, but because I like them, I don't feel it's hard.
When you have chosen the profession you love, then waking up at 5 am, 6 am is no longer about working hard, but about doing the job you want to do, living with the profession you like. Therefore, I let my children decide for themselves. From childhood to adulthood, they want to learn what, do what, as long as they live happily with their choice.
This view partly reflects Van Son's journey - from his initial livelihood to becoming a beloved comedian. For him, success comes not only from talent but also from persistent pursuit of passion.
At the age of over 60, the comedian maintains a calm, discreet rhythm of life. Persistent marriage and parenting that values freedom of choice show that Van Son is not only successful on stage but also steadfast in family life.
