Hoa Hiep brought her 1-year-old son to class, accompanied by Ba Thang.
Actor Hoa Hiep shared a moment of his one-year-old son Louis on his first day of kindergarten. The baby seemed happy, adapted quickly, and received special attention from his father's close friend, actor Ba Thang.
Louis' first day of school
Actor Hoa Hiep recently shared photos of his son Louis's first day of kindergarten, when the boy was just one year old. Accompanying the father and son on this special day was actor Ba Thang, Hoa Hiep's close friend.
Contrary to the worries of many parents, Louis seemed very happy and enjoyed his new environment, not crying at all. He was described as a "miniature version" of his father, intelligent and quick-witted. Hoa Hiep expressed his feelings on his personal page: "My son's first day of school. I'm happy, nervous, and love him so much. Just seeing him smile is enough to make me happy."
Public reaction
Hoa Hiep's decision to send his child to school early has received attention and approval from many viewers. Many believe that sending children aged 1-3 to school early offers numerous benefits, such as developing communication skills, fostering independence, and stimulating language development. Positive comments included: "The baby is so well-behaved and independent at school," and "I love Hoa Hiep's parenting style and how he supports his child."
The journey of being a single father
Hoa Hiep, born in 1982, is a familiar face through films such as "The Sun Gate," "The Scent of Coriander," and "The Magical Family." In May 2025, the actor unexpectedly announced that he had married a Vietnamese-American woman and had a son together named Hai Nam (affectionately called Louis), who was born in 2024.
However, just three months after going public, he revealed that he was a single father. The actor shared: “Being a father is difficult, but being a single father is even harder. But every step my child takes, every laugh…is the greatest source of strength for me to move forward. Although this journey is full of challenges, I still choose to love with everything I have.”
20-year friendship with Ba Thang
The close relationship between Hoa Hiep and Ba Thang has lasted for over 20 years and has been the subject of many rumors about a romantic relationship. Both have repeatedly denied these rumors, asserting that they are only friends and soulmates. Ba Thang also shows special affection for Louis and frequently shares pictures of the boy.
Hoa Hiep once shared about this friendship: "If there were anything between me and Ba Thang, we certainly wouldn't be as close now. Only friendship and loyalty can bind us together for so long... Finding a truly compatible friend is very difficult."
He added: "Ba Thang and Hoa Hiep are a pair of friends who support each other and haven't done anything bad for society... Everyone needs friends because sometimes when you're grown up you can't share things with your parents, you need a friend to share with and overcome challenges together."
