The marriages of 3 'kings of revolutionary music' in their late 50s.
While Dang Duong and Trong Tan enjoy happy family lives, Viet Hoan recently surprised the public by announcing his divorce from his wife, who is 18 years younger than him.
As leading vocalists of revolutionary songs, Dang Duong, Trong Tan, and Viet Hoan have all achieved great success in their careers. However, their romantic lives have been quite different. While Dang Duong and Trong Tan enjoy happy family lives, Viet Hoan remains single in his late 50s.
Viet Hoan divorces his young wife after 14 years of marriage.
Viet Hoan was born in 1966 in Thai Binh province into a family with a tradition in the arts. He won first prize in the provincial solo singing competition at the age of 18. The male singer is famous for his revolutionary songs, forming a trio with Trong Tan and Dang Duong. In 2006, he was awarded the title of Meritorious Artist.

Despite achieving early success in his career, Meritorious Artist Viet Hoan didn't get married until he was 40 years old. He met Hoa Tran while performing in a program at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, where Hoa Tran worked. They got to know each other, fell in love, and got married in 2007. At that time, Viet Hoan was 40 years old, while Hoa Tran was only 22.
At that time, the couple faced public criticism due to their age difference and appearance. Hoa Tran affirmed that she didn't love her husband for his looks, but was impressed by his filial piety and kindness as a younger brother. He resolved any issues or conflicts with affection and understanding. That's what made her admire him so much.

The couple lived happily together and had three daughters. Throughout their marriage, they experienced several periods of crisis. They fell in love and got married after only six months of getting to know each other. Viet Hoan once admitted that not every family is 100% happy, and that he and Hoa Tran had disappointments in each other. However, they overcame these feelings and accepted each other's differences.
"With it, love would be incredibly beautiful, but without it, it can't break up a family's happiness because the most fundamental happiness is love and respect for each other. Love here doesn't mean romance; for people like me and Hoa Tran, love is simply that," Viet Hoan shared.
On November 11th, the singer unexpectedly announced his single status at the age of 56. Viet Hoan wrote: "I am single and I am happy." Speaking to the press, Viet Hoan revealed that he and his wife finalized their divorce at the end of 2021. However, they kept it private to maintain peace for their children and both families. They separated amicably, with their three children alternating between living with their father and mother.
The male singer also did not reveal the reason for the breakup. This news left many fans feeling saddened and regretful.
Dang Duong is happy to have his wife as his support system.
Dang Duong has a happy and harmonious family with his wife, Kim Xuyen. He met Kim Xuyen when she was a pop singer at the Military Region 2 Art Troupe.
From their very first meeting, Kim Xuyen's sparkling eyes and radiant smile made the male artist's heart race. Initially, when he learned she already had a boyfriend, he gave up. Only after Kim Xuyen broke up with her boyfriend did he try to approach her again.
Through performing together, their feelings for each other gradually developed. The couple married in 2002 and have two adorable, well-behaved sons.

After getting married, she withdrew from public life to take care of her family, providing strong support for her husband so he could wholeheartedly pursue his artistic career. She said she had no regrets because she had a youth full of experiences, including singing for the military in many places.
Meritorious Artist Dang Duong shared: "My wife is the kind of woman who likes to stand behind and support her husband. She handles everything related to doing shows, singing, and even family matters."
The male singer said he is happy to have a strong support system, and feels very lucky to have met someone like Kim Xuyen. Understanding the sacrifices women make when they get married, Dang Duong supports all of his wife's hobbies and interests.
Dang Duong and his wife have a stable and sweet marriage because they share the same philosophy of life: "I'm not rich, but I'm relaxed and comfortable. Life is fine like that. My wife and I want to focus on our professions and art. We feel happy and content."

Trong Tan is happily married to his childhood sweetheart.
Trong Tan and his wife Thanh Hoa are also admired by the public for their beautiful love story. They fell in love while still in high school in Thanh Hoa. At that time, the singer of "Tiếng đàn bầu" was one year ahead of the school's beauty queen, Lam Son High School. After each class, he would often leave handwritten letters and poems in his desk drawer for the girl in the class below him.
After graduating from high school, they both moved to Hanoi to study. Trong Tan studied at the Conservatory of Music for eight years, and during that time, Thanh Hoa also managed to complete two university degrees. Upon graduation, the childhood sweethearts decided to get married.

Trong Tan is very proud of his wife. He once shared: "My wife is also a woman many people would dream of. She is beautiful, has two university degrees, and is completely devoted to her husband and children. What more could a man ask for?"
Singer Trong Tan and his wife have a son born in 2004 and a daughter born in 2006. When the children were young, Thanh Hoa temporarily put her own career on hold to take care of the children and manage household affairs so that Trong Tan could focus on his career.
Trong Tan was very grateful for his wife's sacrifice. Later, when their children were older, Thanh Hoa returned to work. Currently, she is an English teacher at the National Academy of Music - where Trong Tan used to work.
Like Dang Duong's wife, Thanh Hoa also provides a lot of support to Trong Tan in his work. Trong Tan shared: "In terms of work, she helps me manage performance contracts. My wife is very meticulous about things related to my career. We have disagreed and gotten angry with each other many times. After a heated argument, I realized I needed to consult her to make changes."
The male singer also said that his wife helps him maintain a more youthful image, not just wearing suits and traditional Vietnamese long robes. Furthermore, his wife encourages him to try performing songs outside of the patriotic genre.

Sharing his secret to maintaining a happy marriage, Trong Tan said that living under the same roof, they no longer demand the other person to be as romantic as they were when they were dating. Sharing in work, life, and childcare is what connects them. Trong Tan and his wife are like two friends, an indispensable part of each other's lives.
Trong Tan admitted that he and his wife inevitably have their disagreements: "My wife and I have argued many times, mainly about raising and caring for our children. However, we reconcile quite quickly because we don't want the family atmosphere to be tense and affect the children's psychology. As a man, I usually take the initiative to mediate first."
The singer said that he occasionally surprises his wife with gifts on her birthday or holidays. However, his wife doesn't take it too seriously.
