July 11, marking the 20th wedding anniversary of artist Viet Huong and musician Hoai Phuong. This special occasion is also an opportunity to look back at the marriage journey of the couple, who have gone through many ups and downs of life and career together.
Viet Huong and Hoai Phuong got married in 2006 after a period of getting to know each other. The early years of marriage were not easy when the two often lived in two different countries. While Viet Huong worked in the arts in Vietnam, Hoai Phuong taught in the US and took care of her daughter Elyza.
Although they have to be apart for a long time, geographical distance does not affect the couple's feelings. Viet Huong has repeatedly shared that trust and respect are an important foundation to help both maintain happiness. Husband and wife always exchange and listen to each other before important decisions in life.
The turning point came in 2021 when Hoai Phuong and his daughter returned to Vietnam to reunite with Viet Huong. Since then, the male musician has always accompanied his wife in art projects, business as well as charity activities. The image of Hoai Phuong quietly standing behind to support Viet Huong gradually became familiar to the audience.
Throughout many years of artistic activities, Viet Huong has made her mark in theater, television, cinema and even business. Behind those successes, there is always the encouragement and support of Hoai Phuong. Not appearing too much in front of the media, he chooses to silently accompany his wife to feel secure in pursuing his passion.
Not only admired for their careers, Viet Huong and Hoai Phuong also score points for their simple way of preserving happiness. The two rarely show affection with ostentatious things, instead with care in everyday life, timely words of encouragement and presence in important milestones of each other.
Right on the occasion of the 20th wedding anniversary, Viet Huong also received good news when she won the Best Leading Actress award in the Vietnamese Film category at the 4th Da Nang Asian Film Festival (DANAFF IV) for her role in "Cuc vang cua ngoai". The award is considered a meaningful milestone, recognizing the unremitting efforts of the female artist after many years of dedication.
On this special occasion, Viet Huong and Hoai Phuong also took a commemorative wedding photo set at an apartment building in Vuon Lai ward (HCMC), where the female artist was born and raised. Instead of choosing a luxurious setting, the two returned to the old corridors, familiar stairs and yards associated with Viet Huong's childhood.
The rustic but emotional frames not only preserve 20 years of marriage but are also a tribute from the female artist to the place that nurtured her childhood and gave wings to her artistic journey.
