Midu and her businessman husband's married life

Actress Midu said she once wanted to retire at 36, but regained her passion for film thanks to her husband, businessman Minh Dat.

Midu and her husband are praised for their matching looks and youthfulness. Whenever they attend events together, they often choose outfits and color tones that complement each other.

On 16/7, Midu and her husband attended the premiere of the high school film *1314 - Doi em o ngay cu* which she produced. The actress said there was a time when she lost her enthusiasm for film, but her husband inspired her to return to the profession.

"He lifts my spirits every day. He whispers in my ear 'You're so talented', 'You're amazing', encouraging me to develop further, even when I feel I'm not good enough, not doing well," she said.

Minh Dat sported a monochrome look with a black suit when he accompanied his wife to a program in early April in Ho Chi Minh City. The 35-year-old businessman said that when he was single, he mainly spent his time working and going to the gym in his free time. After getting married, he and his wife cook, clean the house, and experience many simple joys.

Midu, 36, a native of Ho Chi Minh City, is known to audiences through films such as *Thien than ao trang* (*White-robed Angel*), *Thien menh anh hung* (*Hero's Destiny*), *4 nam, 2 chang, mot tinh yeu* (*4 Years, 2 Guys, 1 Love*), *Nhan duyen: Nguoi yeu tien kiep* (*Destiny: Past Life Lover*), and *Me chong* (*Mother-in-Law*). In addition to acting, Midu is also a lecturer and a businesswoman.

Minh Dat was born into a prominent family known for its plastics business and owns a large corporation. After graduating with a master's degree in the US, he returned to Vietnam to work for the family business. They held their wedding in 6/2024 after a period of discreet dating, with a large gathering of artist friends.

Midu said that for her, marital happiness comes from small, everyday things like holding hands, kissing, giving flowers, or taking walks together. "I believe that love doesn't come from perfect things, simply be yourself," she said.

At the end of June, the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary at Ho Tram beach, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Ba Ria - Vung Tau). Midu said that after getting married, she became more mature and thoughtful about everything. "I'm happy because every morning I wake up, there's always someone I love by my side, I no longer feel lonely like before," she said.

She was supported by her husband to pursue her studies for self-improvement, despite facing many difficulties having to arrange her study schedule and acting for two years.

The couple frequently go on vacations within the country and around the world. Midu said if they don't have to work, they usually wake up, make coffee, arrange flowers, and enjoy time together.
