"I grew up when I loved Phillip Nguyen"

Maintaining a long-term relationship is not easy. What keeps Linh Rin and Phillip Nguyen together during difficult times? It is known that you and Phillip had a period of separation and then reconciled?

- It will probably always be love. Learning to love is a wonderful experience and the road is not always smooth. But that is what makes our journey more interesting than ever.

As the girlfriend and now future wife of a talented businessman, does Linh Rin feel pressured to "be better" to be worthy of her "other half"?

- The world is so big and people are so small. In my opinion, self-improvement is not for anyone but for myself! I still want to experience more in life. No matter what, I can never be as good as Phillip, that's the truth!

In love, is Linh Rin proactive or the opposite? Some girls tend to change themselves, sacrifice their interests and careers to cultivate love and harmonize relationships. What about you?

- I think that in all, I am a balanced person. Building a relationship requires a lot of common ground, so there is nothing wrong with sacrifice and change. But you should do it because you want it, not force anything. If you are not happy with yourself, you cannot make anyone happy!

The fiancé once shared that it took him 10 years to find the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with as a friend. How did Linh Rin feel when she received the love and care from her other half?

- I grew up and found peace. After years of being together, I wanted to understand him more, share and accompany him.

And Linh Rin, what moment made you realize Phillip Nguyen was your "true half" and wanted to spend the rest of your life with him?

- There are many moments that can create such an important decision. I like the times we walk on the street together. When the street is crowded, he always lets me go inside for safety. The scene of him spinning around me looks funny but also very happy and warm (laughs).

Some people say that on the surface, celebrity love is often glamorous and beautiful. If Linh Rin were to tell a real, everyday memory of her love story with Phillip Nguyen, which story would she choose?

- I love eating grilled rice paper, so every time Phillip spoils me by taking me out to eat grilled rice paper (laughs). Instead of lavish dates, this action of his is extremely "scoring".

A "bad habit" of Linh Rin or Phillip Nguyen that the other side has had to "endure" for many years?

- You could say we buy the same thing over and over again every time we go to the supermarket, even if we haven't used it all yet (laughs). We both inherited this trait from each other and so sometimes our wardrobes have a lot of similar items.

"He is all I love!"

Once a famous beauty, Linh Rin's artistic career has not left much of an impression, even quieter than many other hot girls. What do you think about this opinion?

- For me, every environment brings great experiences. If youth gives me the opportunity to experience, I believe I have lived my life to the fullest.

Does Linh Rin regret choosing the path of studying, doing business and stopping showbiz activities?

- Every stage in life always has changes. Change and choose to suit yourself at that time. When I realize I know what I like, I will start changing and taking action immediately!

At times of fatigue, even wanting to collapse, how did Linh Rin and her fiance become a source of spiritual motivation for each other?

- At times like these, we would sit and share, chat together, or find a restaurant we've never been to before, or sip our favorite drinks together.

Agree that love is a bonding factor, a strength that helps people maintain long-term relationships. But there will certainly be times when "suddenly we get bored of each other", what does Linh Rin think?

- That's the normal state of a relationship! A person who is always happy or always sad is not normal. Emotions go up and down, change, that's human. I think we just need to understand each other. When we understand each other, we will see that everything follows the natural course of emotions, of love, of daily life.

Love and marriage are two very different concepts. How do you prepare yourself mentally to accept the changes?

- Love will still be love, but when we decide to commit our lives together, we know we are building a common ideal with our partner. Recently, I have also felt a change in myself. That will be positive energy for both of us to be ready to embark on a new journey.

If she had to sacrifice her personal ego to achieve harmony in married life, what would Linh Rin choose?

- Not only in marriage but in most things, my ego will sometimes hurt me first. But if I can't express myself freely, I can't do it. I want my heart to create relationships with people who share the same ideals, and can share everything in life together.

In Linh Rin's eyes, what kind of person is Phillip Nguyen?

- He is everything I love!

After announcing your engagement last year, Linh Rin, how does your relationship with your fiancé feel different?

- There is no difference, the only difference is that there is not enough time for the amount of work that two people need to do. At the beginning of 2023, we experienced full working capacity (laughs).

Many audiences are waiting for a lavish and grand "super wedding" of Linh Rin and Phillip Nguyen. Can you reveal about the wedding preparations?

- Currently, Linh and Phillip have started to gradually choose costumes, choose production partners and companions to be able to join hands to create a cozy ceremony as both of them wish. Spring is a beautiful time for us to hold the wedding.

Thanks Linh Rin for sharing!
