On the occasion of her 19th wedding anniversary on 22/7, the beauty queen posted photos with her husband, their biological children, and his stepson on her personal page. "Marriage is not about finding a perfect person, but about finding someone willing to hold your hand through all of life's journeys," the beauty queen wrote.

Before their union, both had experienced previous divorces. Starting as friends, they understood each other's personalities and circumstances well. Their shared life philosophy led them to decide to build a new home together.

Ha Kieu Anh's husband previously operated businesses in the garment and real estate sectors. When he transitioned to establishing a multi-industry joint stock company, including hotels and luxury resorts, businessman Huynh Trung Nam faced significant challenges in the initial phase. During that time, the beauty queen became a pillar of support for her husband. She consistently placed her full trust in him and encouraged him whenever they discussed work: "There's nothing to worry about; if it doesn't succeed, we'll try again." Thanks to his wife's unwavering support, he gained additional motivation to develop his career.

Ha Kieu Anh also cares for his stepson. According to Miss Vietnam 1992, after their marriage, Nhat Minh, her husband's 12-year-old son from a previous marriage, moved in with them. Having experienced her parents' divorce, she deeply understood the boy's psychology. The beauty queen admitted that befriending and raising her husband's stepson was never easy, requiring compassion and overcoming feelings of anxiety. She often proactively reminded her husband to spend individual time with his son. On holidays or birthdays, the beauty queen personally selected gifts and organized parties to connect family members.

Annually, she suggests her husband arrange time for the entire family to go on summer vacations. The beauty queen wants to ensure everyone is always together when they travel, so her stepson does not feel lonely, isolated, or lacking attention. "I love Nhat Minh because that is what creates a warm family home. My husband is happy when he doesn't have to be caught between two people," the beauty queen said.

The couple's enduring marriage is built on principles of respect and companionship. Ha Kieu Anh describes herself as hot-tempered, while her husband is calm. They always seek to reconcile their personalities to avoid arguments that could affect their relationship. She revealed that whenever disagreements arise, her husband tries to tease her or feign "ignorance," preventing her from staying angry for long. Although private and rarely outwardly affectionate, he consistently demonstrates his love through actions. Regardless of how busy his work becomes, businessman Huynh Trung Nam strives to maintain family routines and have dinner with his wife and children daily.

The beauty queen considers herself fortunate that her husband always values her friends. He often suggests she invite colleagues to their home, while also offering advice and guidance to help her manage her spa facility in TP HCM. He rarely forgets anniversaries and often gifts his wife valuable jewelry and handbags.

The beauty queen's family currently resides in a 450 m2 garden villa beside the Saigon River. After nearly 20 years together, they still maintain the habit of wishing each other goodnight and reminding each other to eat daily. "Nam and I are not only husband and wife but also soulmates. For us, happiness is simply a meal shared with our children and waking up each morning to see our companion by our side," the beauty queen said.

Ha Kieu Anh, 50, born in Hanoi, was crowned Miss Vietnam 1992 at just 16 years old—the youngest in the competition's history to date. She has acted in films such as De Muon, Ao Lua Ha Dong, and Loi Song Sai Lam. The beauty queen primarily dedicates her time to nurturing her family and developing her beauty industry business. She regularly participates in events and entertainment programs. Occasionally, the beauty queen serves as a judge for domestic beauty pageants or showcases collections by close designers.
