Thạch Thảo once revealed the reason she fell in love with Ngọc Hải in the media:"During tours, the female singers often had to carry a lot of luggage and stay in local homes, so daily life was very difficult. Hai often volunteered to carry water for the female singers. Many times at the district hall, he would rearrange tables and chairs so the female singers could rest, while he himself slept on the floor. It was his chivalrous nature and enthusiasm that touched Thao, and love blossomed without her even realizing it."
Later, Ngoc Hai lost interest in singing. He returned to Vung Tau to open a company, pursuing his business dream. Thach Thao also followed him to work as a manager, helping her boyfriend run the business.

In 2002, Ngoc Hai returned to the stage, while Thach Thao continued their business ventures. Two years later, the couple broke up, ending their 12-year relationship.
Ngoc Hai revealed:"Jealousy or resentment were not involved in this breakup. Family influence wasn't either. We had been in love for over 10 years without getting married, and both families were impatient, wanting grandchildren. Besides, Thach Thao and I aren't young anymore."
However, we were a couple destined to be together but not destined to be together, so we had to say goodbye respectfully. We resolved the breakup amicably, as both of us felt it was necessary and good for both of us. I want Thảo to be truly happy in every aspect of her life without me."- Ngoc Hai said.
