Recently, the "golden" couple of DanceSport Vietnam, Phan Hien and Thu Huong, brought home 3 gold medals at the 2026 Southeast Asian Championships.
Thu Huong is considered a very compatible co-star with Phan Hien. Previously, both won 3 gold medals at SEA Games 31 (2022) and 1 gold medal at SEA Games 32 (2023).
Choosing a dance partner in DanceSport is a highly professional process, requiring continuous evaluation. Notably, champion Khanh Thi - Phan Hien's wife - was the one who chose the partner for her husband.
Khanh Thi once shared with Lao Dong: "When I stopped my playing career and returned to being a coach, I went to find dance partners for my husband. Many people said I was'crazy', as if I was looking for a girlfriend for my husband.
Dancesport requires a lot of physical impact. But we consider it a partner. Hien is very cooperative in finding dance partners for him. Throughout Hien's competition to date, he has changed 6 dance partners. But with all 6 partners, Hien and his partner both won the championship.
Hien values training and competition results more than his wife finding him a new'girlfriend'".
For Khanh Thi, finding a dance partner for her husband not only shows her rich experience, but also sacrifice and understanding from her wife.
More than 10 years ago, the love story of Khanh Thi and Phan Hien once received the attention of fans. In March 2015, Khanh Thi revealed images of being pregnant but did not reveal the identity of the baby's father. Some time later, she publicly dated Phan Hien but was strongly reacted to due to the 11-year age difference.
In July 2015, Khanh Thi gave birth to her first son, Phan Hien was always by her side to support and take care of his wife. Three years later, the couple gave birth to their second baby.
After many years of living together, the two DanceSport athletes decided to hold a wedding in December 2022. The wedding took place in Ho Chi Minh City with the participation of 500 guests, marking a beautiful ending to the couple's challenging love journey.
In 2023, Phan Hien and Khanh Thi's family welcomed their youngest daughter. Baby Lisa also became a phenomenon on social networks thanks to her doll-like cute appearance.
In recent years, Khanh Thi and Phan Hien have impressed many people with their happy, warm and laughter-filled married lives. They regularly appear on game shows such as "Sao Hoa Sao Kim", "Tam Dau I Hop"... to share about their love journey.
Currently, the couple co-manages and teaches at the DanceSport training center in Ho Chi Minh City. From 2023 to now, Khanh Thi has held the position of Director of the Institute of Culture and Arts at the University of Economics and Finance of Ho Chi Minh City.
Currently, Khanh Thi - Phan Hien's family is living in a 6-story house, with an area of up to 800m2 in the center of Ho Chi Minh City.
