Happy Fifties of 2 Vietnamese Music Divas

Hong Nhung

Singer Hong Nhung is having a sweet, happy time in Paris (France) with her German boyfriend, Gerhard Heusch, and two children Tom - Tep. Starting her life here in the summer of 2021, she cooks, arranges flowers, takes care of her family every day... like a full-time housewife. While waiting for her boyfriend to go to work and her children to come home from school, she rides her bike to see the streets of the magnificent Paris or visits art museums near her home. A fulfilling life and poetic scenery inspired her to compose two songsSunny day waitingandSimple Beauty.

After her divorce, Hong Nhung thought she would never be with anyone. Her current boyfriend, architect Gerhard Heusch, worshipped the single life. But then love blossomed between them without them knowing. Before they got together, they were friends for 10 years.

Hong Nhung and her German boyfriend's love story progressed rapidly since last year, when he invited her and her children to the US for summer vacation. The time they spent together, his care, sharing and especially his kindness towards the twins Tom and Tep moved Hong Nhung. After Hong Nhung brought her two children back to Vietnam, he also came back and lived with her in a luxury apartment in Thao Dien area (HCMC). This is the second Tet they spent together.

According to Hong Nhung, she and her German boyfriend are compatible in all aspects, both love art and sports, and can share many things. He studied in Belgium, Germany, France, the US and is currently an architect with offices in many countries around the world, including the US, France, Argentina... Although busy with work, he always has time for his two children Tom - Tep, playing sports with the children, going to the park or learning French. The presence of his German boyfriend makes Hong Nhung's life more joyful and colorful. Friends and relatives see that the female singer is happy, so everyone supports her. Hong Nhung said that she and her boyfriend have no plans to get married or have a wedding, but both cherish this relationship. They cherish and fully enjoy every moment of life.

Hong Nhung was born in 1970 and divorced in 2018. Since becoming a single mother, she has been more open about her life with her children and wants to inspire women in similar situations. She has not contacted her ex-husband because he has a new family. Tom and Tep still talk to their father every week.

Thanh Lam

Since the engagement ceremony in June 2021, Thanh Lam and Dr. Bui Tien Hung have called each other husband and wife and freely expressed their feelings every time they appeared together. The singer's happiness is absolutely supported by her children, relatives, friends and the audience.

Thanh Lam found love in her fifties after having eye surgery in March 2020. The singer once jokingly joked that after the surgery, her eyes suddenly lit up and she realized that this was the man of her life. Her boyfriend is also the one who performed her eye surgery - Dr. Bui Tien Hung. He was born in 1962, is the professional director of an international hospital, and has more than 20 years of experience in ophthalmology.

Dr. Hung initially came to Thanh Lam mainly out of curiosity about a famous and controversial person, without any serious intention. However, the more he learned, the more interesting he found the female singer to the point that he could not stop. When Thanh Lam told him about what had happened in her life, he felt sorry. Her past love story made him lose sleep for several nights because he felt sorry for her and blamed her for being stupid. Being together, the doctor realized that behind the strong appearance that everyone saw in Thanh Lam was a weakness, making him want to protect her. If curiosity about a famous, fierce and rebellious name led him to Thanh Lam, the gentleness in this woman kept him there.

A happy and fulfilled personal life helps Thanh Lam excel in music. Since falling in love with Dr. Bui Tien Hung, she has actively released products, participated in music nights and organized live shows. The female singer no longer shows off her techniques or "goes into trance" as usual, but puts her emotions into her songs in a gentle and soft way. The songs she sings do not hide the pain and suffering of sadness, but instead are optimistic in life. Dr. Bui Tien Hung loves music very much and absolutely supports his girlfriend's passion.

After the engagement ceremony, Thanh Lam has not planned for the wedding. At middle age and having experienced many ups and downs in life, Thanh Lam no longer puts much emphasis on marriage but feels that engagement is enough. She feels satisfied with what she has.
