| Bang Kieu and Duong My Linh met in late 2013 at a year-end party hosted by a mutual friend. When Bang Kieu first met Duong My Linh, he had no idea she was a beauty queen or actress. Despite receiving support from friends and family, the couple did not publicly announce their relationship to fans. Rumors of Bang Kieu dating Duong My Linh began circulating in early 2014 when they appeared together at singer Anh Tu's wedding. However, the couple refused to answer media inquiries and avoided standing next to each other at public events. In the photo, Duong My Linh and Bang Kieu are standing far apart while taking a commemorative photo with colleagues backstage at the "Lover in Concert" show. |

| In May 2014, Bang Kieu took Duong My Linh to the US to introduce her to close colleagues, officially acknowledging their relationship. When news of their dating first broke, Duong My Linh was criticized by many, who accused her of being the third party in Bang Kieu's relationship with his wife, Trizzie Phuong Trinh. To clear his girlfriend's name, Bang Kieu gave an official interview, stating that his marriage to Trizzie Phuong Trinh had ended long ago. He also apologized for his prolonged silence, which led to public misunderstanding about his girlfriend. |

He even posted some sweet photos with his girlfriend while in Da Lat to support her filming a television project. |
 |
| Duong My Linh also posted some sweet moments with Bang Kieu when he put aside all his work to visit her in Da Lat. Her boyfriend's thoughtfulness touched her deeply, and she wrote: "That's how women are. No matter how many times we receive flowers, each time brings a different joy and happiness. I thank you for always being by my side during times like these, sharing and taking care of me. That's happiness. This week, filming day and night in a remote area has been exhausting. I feel so sorry for you, struggling with the film crew day after day, just because you see me missing my profession." |

Trizzie later explained to her fans that she had proactively invited Duong My Linh to join the family celebration. The singer also stated that Duong My Linh's presence was natural because the Miss Vietnam Women Through Photography 2006 winner is very close to her three sons, especially Kenzi. Trizzie Phuong Trinh also hoped that the audience wouldn't consider Duong My Linh's appearance unnecessary. |
