People's Artist Viet Anh causes a stir with his picture of living a newlywed life in his 70s with his wife, who is 36 years younger.

At nearly 70 years old, People's Artist Viet Anh unexpectedly entered into marriage with a young wife 36 years his junior, sparking public curiosity. Despite facing mixed opinions, the couple maintains a peaceful life, enjoys family support, and is happily enjoying their newlywed days.

After years of living alone and becoming accustomed to eating out, People's Artist Viet Anh – a veteran figure of the Southern Vietnamese theater scene – unexpectedly entered a new marriage at nearly 70 years old. His partner is Chan Chan, a woman born in the 1990s, 36 years younger than him. The significant age difference made their love story a topic of much discussion, but ultimately, they chose to continue their relationship with sincerity and serenity.

Dating rumors first surfaced in 2024, when the two frequently posted cheerful photos together. At the time, the male artist denied it, claiming it was just playful moments. But as time went on, their closeness became increasingly apparent. Towards the end of the year, People's Artist Viet Anh unexpectedly posted a cryptic status update: "Love is never too late. Sincerity is always the beginning," a subtle yet attention-grabbing confirmation.

In July 2025, Chan Chan surprised many by proactively proposing to the male artist. The moment she gave him the ring and said her proposal was posted on her personal page and quickly went viral on social media. Not long after, in mid-October, People's Artist Viet Anh confirmed to the press that the two had registered their marriage a few months earlier, becoming legally married. He shared his desire to keep things quiet and avoid unnecessary commotion to prevent further pressure from public opinion.

Although they haven't held a wedding ceremony, the artist's life since marrying his young wife has been described as fresher and more youthful. In public appearances, he often displays a gentle smile, while Chân Chân is always by his side, supporting, caring for, and arranging his work. When not busy, the two enjoy everyday moments: cooking together, going for walks, traveling, or simply sitting and chatting over a cup of tea.

One notable point is that this marriage has received support from both families. Last November, People's Artist Viet Anh took his young wife out for a meal with his extended family. The meal included all of his siblings – who are currently aged from 59 to 79. The warm and intimate atmosphere showed the harmony between Chan Chan and her husband's family, something many people had worried about when they heard about their age difference.

People's Artist Viet Anh is a veteran artist who has made his mark with a series of roles in films such as "Loi Vu," "Da Co Hoai Lang," "Dem Hoa Mi," and more recently, popular films like "Nha Ba Nu," "Mai," and "Mua He Dep Nhat." Before his current marriage, he was married to former actress Phuong Linh and has a daughter who lives in Australia. After their divorce, he had an 8-year relationship that did not end happily.

Because of those experiences, many viewers believe the male artist deserves new happiness. Although there are still differing opinions surrounding the "age-gap relationship," most comments have shifted to a more positive tone, seeing the peace and respect the couple shows each other. Some people believe that the most important thing is not age, but how they treat and support each other in life.

At nearly 70 years old, People's Artist Viet Anh chose not to be loud or ostentatious. He chose a small, cozy home, a young yet mature life partner, and a new journey that he himself once thought he might never have the chance to experience again. And perhaps, that is what makes their love story so special – gentle, unexpected, yet full of emotion.
