As a quite strong and independent woman, after getting married she and her husband started a business. "I was so busy when I was pregnant. I never rested, I was in charge of the house, the store and the TV show Pepe Time," Trinh Phoi Phoi shared.

Looking back on those two years, Trinh Phoi Phoi said she felt very satisfied: "It can be said that those were the two most stable years in my heart."
