Victor Vu - Dinh Ngoc Diep reveals the secret to keeping a 10-year marriage that makes showbiz jealous

After nearly 10 years together, Victor Vu and Dinh Ngoc Diep still maintain a rare "mutual respect" in showbiz. From colleagues to life partners, they built their marriage on respect, empathy and a way of accompanying each other that many people admire.

In a showbiz full of ups and downs, the love story of Victor Vu and Dinh Ngoc Diep goes in the opposite direction: the longer it lasts, the more durable it is, the more secretive it is, the more curious it is. When the director turned 50, the moment Dinh Ngoc Diep posted a video wishing her husband a happy birthday caused a stir on social media because of its simplicity but warmth. No frills, no ostentation, just a sincere message from a woman who has accompanied her partner through many events.

They met in 2008, when they worked together on the film Love Story in a Foreign Land. At first, Victor Vu only saw Dinh Ngoc Diep as a lively, cheerful, and somewhat carefree girl. But the more he got to know her, the more he realized her depth and strong family affection. That was also what attracted him – not her appearance, but the way she treated her loved ones. As for Dinh Ngoc Diep, Victor Vu appeared at the right time when she was at her most vulnerable in her career, bringing with him patience and calmness to help her regain her balance.

Their love did not come from brilliant confessions but from small actions: he bought books for her to volunteer, she quietly learned to understand his work. In 2012, Victor Vu proposed at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris - a romantic but unpretentious moment, true to both of their styles. Four years later, they officially became a family.

Since then, their lives have been tied to work. Dinh Ngoc Diep went from being an amateur actress to a production manager - the person behind all the finances, marketing, and even crisis management for her husband's projects. She is not good at calculations but has the sensitivity of an artist, helping to balance the dry technical part in Victor Vu's films. The interesting thing is that even though they are husband and wife, she still has to cast like any other actor. Victor Vu is so principled that he does not favor anyone, even his wife.

But that strictness is what makes Dinh Ngoc Diep respect. She understands that to maintain creativity, Victor Vu needs a companion, not someone who indulges every wish. On the contrary, he never forces his wife to do anything she doesn't like. Having spent seven years working in IT and almost suffered from depression, he understands the feeling of being stuck in a job that doesn't belong to you. So he guides her step by step, from how to reply to emails to how to communicate to avoid misunderstandings - gently but not imposingly.

Outside of work, family is where both of them find joy. They like to take their two sons to experience the countryside, so that they can play with buffalo, ducks and geese – things that city children rarely have the opportunity to experience. Victor Vu rarely hangs out with friends, always taking the opportunity to go home to play with his children. When there are no projects, he takes the whole family on vacation, seeing it as a way to recharge his batteries.

What kept their marriage strong for nearly a decade was their mother-in-law's advice: "respect each other as guests". Despite their contrasting personalities – he is introverted and meticulous down to every comma; she is straightforward, playful and emotional – they still found a balance. Dinh Ngoc Diep often teases her husband to "collect smiles", while Victor Vu shows his concern through small actions like kissing his cheek or reminding his wife to eat well.

After 10 years, Dinh Ngoc Diep said she has matured more when living with Victor Vu. As for the director, his wife's companionship is what helps him stay calm and creative in his career. Their marriage is not noisy but deep enough to make others believe that love in showbiz can still be sustainable if built on respect and empathy.
