Actress Cat Phuong reveals she only got married at "70," and her son said something "shocking."

After her marriage ended, Cat Phuong is enjoying a fulfilling and peaceful life with her son, balancing her performances, teaching, online sales, and daring to open her heart to new happiness in her middle age.

After years of upheaval in her personal life, actress Cat Phuong is now enjoying a stable and peaceful life with her son, Bom, who is currently a final-year university student. In her middle age, the actress maintains a regular schedule: performing on stage every week, teaching, selling goods online, and taking on some film roles. This activity allows her to be financially independent without facing excessive economic pressure.

Audiences have recently been particularly interested in how openly Cat Phuong shares about her personal happiness. In a conversation with Thanh Nien Newspaper, she recounted what her son Bom said, while also emphasizing that she always has frank discussions with him when a new person enters his life. This small detail carries a message about the trust and understanding that the mother and son have built through years of sincere conversations.

"Bom said, 'I think this guy is okay, Mom, you should get to know him. When I grow up, I'll have my own life, so I want you to have someone by your side.' If Bom agrees, then I agree too. That's how women are; they always think of their children. We live for our children. After a broken relationship, when we want to invest our feelings in someone, we'll ask our children. Every time I livestream, I say, 'If I'm 70 years old and the man I love is still by my side, meaning he truly loves me, then I'll get married. At 70, it'll be three in one: celebrating my birthday, my longevity, and officially going public with him. I won't wear a fancy wedding dress, just a traditional Vietnamese dress and carry flowers. But not yet. He also said, 'Why 70, honey? Why so long?' I said, 'Well, if I can wait, I'll wait.'"

After her marriage to Thai Hoa ended, Cat Phuong embarked on a journey of single motherhood for over 20 years. This journey was not only about raising her child but also about teaching Bom to appreciate emotions, love in the right way, and develop a healthy spirit.

Cát Phượng has always affirmed her life philosophy: no matter who she loves or what she does, her son will always be the center of her life. As Bom grew up, became independent, and understood his mother's own happiness, the actress felt the sweet rewards of her long journey as a single mother.

Sharing about her son, Cat Phuong proudly said that Bom is a diligent student, achieving the title of excellent student every year. There are nights when he studies until 1 AM, which worries her. "I'm afraid that if he only sleeps for a few hours and then wakes up to continue studying, it will affect his health and brain. I've never forced him to study or compared him to anyone else. He studies for himself, not for me. I support what he likes, I don't force him," she said. Bom is currently studying information technology but still nurtures his passion for art.

Despite living with his mother, Bom still frequently talks and shares with his father, maintaining a close relationship with Thai Hoa. The actor once expressed: "I feel that my son is very strong, not only on the outside but also on the inside. We often go out for meals and coffee together. Bom really enjoys listening to me talk; we are very close." Thai Hoa also emphasized that his son is very independent, having worked as an English teaching assistant to earn money, and does not rely on his parents.
