After all the controversies, everyone believed that Nha Phuong and Truong Giang probably couldn't continue their journey together. However, surprisingly, on the afternoon of August 20, 2018, Nha Phuong announced that she would be getting engaged in August and officially getting married in September.

That period was really difficult for both of them, as they both had new partners at the time. In the end, because they still had feelings for each other, they got back together.
Phan Hien once shared: "When I decided to be with Khanh Thi, I knew there would be a lot of gossip and criticism. At that time, I also asked myself if I could endure it. If I could, then Thi and I would continue, otherwise we would stop. And when I decided to hold Thi's hand and continue, it meant that I no longer cared about the whispers around us."
