On the night of September 29, Van Duc showed off his wife Nhat Linh's ultrasound photo, announcing the good news that they are about to have a second child. The Nghe An midfielder and his wife have already chosen a nickname for the baby "Khoai Tay". This is a great motivation for Van Duc to strive in his career. The midfielder born in 1996 is currently training with the Vietnamese team to prepare for the matches in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup.

Van Duc and Nhat Linh got married in January 2020 after a few months of dating. In August of the same year, the couple welcomed their first daughter Dau Tay. Nhat Linh said that Van Duc has become more mature and responsible since getting married. In addition to training and competing, he is very willing to help his wife with housework and taking care of the children. The SLNA midfielder often brings joy to his wife thanks to his wit, humor, and is very thoughtful and emotional.

On September 13, Van Duc was able to return home to visit his wife and children for 2 days. On this occasion, he took his wife to receive a new car, a Mercedes-Benz GLC, which costs about 2 billion VND. The midfielder from Nghe An considered this a gift for his wife after many months away from home.

At only 25 years old, Van Duc has a solid career and is about to join the group of fathers of two on the national team. In the current Vietnamese team, only goalkeeper Bui Tan Truong has two children. Center back Bui Tien Dung will also welcome his second daughter in early 2022.

Van Duc belongs to the generation of Vietnamese players who "changed their lives" after the 2018 U23 Asian Cup finals in Changzhou, China. Thanks to the continuous successes under coach Park Hang-seo, he and his teammates pocketed billions of dong in bonuses, becoming popular faces in advertising shows. In May, Van Duc renewed his 3-year contract with SLNA, receiving a signing bonus of more than 10 billion dong. Thanks to that, he was able to buy a car, build a new house, and help his wife and children have a prosperous life./.
