Cong Ly: 'I will marry my girlfriend at the right time'

After two failed marriages, the actress still believes in marriage but has no plans to marry again.

- You made public your relationship with your girlfriend, who is 15 years younger, at the end of 2016. After being together for a while, what are your plans for the future?

- Actually, Ngoc Ha and I loved each other before that. However, we chose to remain silent to understand each other better. In early October last year, she and I had no more problems, so we freely shared about each other on our personal pages. We plan to get married, however, calling it a plan cannot be said exactly. When the right time comes, I will hold a wedding. Many friends say I will get married at the end of the year, however, it is all just a rumor.

I have reached a more mature age, so my behavior and love life are also more calm and composed. I never hesitated because I had to choose someone like this or that because I had gone through many broken relationships. I let nature take its course. Currently, we are extremely happy.

- How did you and your girlfriend meet?

- In early 2015, my friend - director Binh Trong - held a press conference for the Tet comedy Dai gia chan dat, Lang e vo. Mr. Trong invited me to join in the fun. After the press conference, Ngoc Ha contacted me and asked to interview me, at that time, I just found out she was a reporter.

After getting to know each other, she and I gradually developed feelings for each other. I don't know who took the initiative first. Everything came very naturally. I really don't know what I like about Ngoc Ha. I think all people in love have the same feeling. They don't know exactly why they fall in love with each other. I think that's true love, without calculation. Later, I appreciated Ngoc Ha even more because she was childish, innocent, and kind.

- You are an experienced man, while your girlfriend is young. How do you love her?

- I am not a tactful, gallant person, so I rarely say sweet words or do romantic things. I do not like to express my feelings with flowery words. I just silently follow and do what I can for the other person. Not only with my lover, with my children and relatives, I also love in such a silent way.

- How do you two share work?

- Before she fell in love with me, she admitted that she never watched any plays or TV series I acted in. But now, whenever she has free time, she comes to my office - Hanoi Drama Theater. She follows all the new plays. Ngoc Ha is quite close to many artists in the theater. Sometimes, she even goes on tour with the troupe to far away provinces like Nghe An, Thai Nguyen... She is friendly and approachable, so most of my friends and colleagues support her.

Ngoc Ha is a cultural reporter, so sometimes I also advise her on some professional issues.

- How do you balance the relationship between your new girlfriend and your two ex-wives and children?

- I cannot and have no right to interfere in their relationship. It is up to them to be aware of right and wrong. In my opinion, that is the way civilized people behave.I never told Ngoc Ha things like "You have to talk to Thao Van", "You have to love Tit". Ha loves and respects me and my past. She understands that being jealous of an ex is stupid.

Thao Van, Khue and I - my first wife - do not need to do ideological work for our children. We cannot force our children to love someone. Children are very sensitive, if someone is truly good to them, they will love them back.

Sometimes, I take my eldest daughter - Kien - and youngest son - Tit - out to eat. I invite Ha and Van to come along, and they never object. When we get there, everyone eats and chats happily. We are all friends.

Furthermore, I put the goal of raising and caring for my children first. Therefore, only those who respect that goal can be on the same path as me. I don't have to try or force myself. I also feel lucky to have such good relationships. In many other cases, they don't hate or are jealous of each other, but simply don't like each other, don't want to sit together, which is tiring enough.
