Before meeting her current husband, the singer had a daughter, Mia, who is now 13 years old. Phuong Trinh Jolie and Ly Binh have two sons together, Tyga (2 years old) and Loka (almost 6 months old). She is busy with her mommy duties as the two boys are close in age. Despite this, Phuong Trinh Jolie has comfortably returned to her business and artistic endeavors.
Let’s listen to Phuong Trinh Jolie’s confessions about her journey as a “mom on the run”
– How has Phuong Trinh’s married life changed since becoming a mother to two children at different stages of development?
Ever since Loka was born, my life has become busier. Taking care of one child is already tiring, and now I have two! I juggle work and childcare. With Loka’s arrival, our family has become livelier, happier, and more complete.
Our home is always bustling with activity, now that we have two more family members. I’ve hired an additional nanny to help with Loka. Consequently, our expenses have increased along with our joyful chaos.
– Does Phuong Trinh Jolie follow any specific parenting methods?
Currently, Loka is formula-fed as I experienced milk duct blockage due to my body constitution. Regarding childcare, I don’t follow any specific methods. Instead, I listen to my child’s biological rhythms and my instincts to provide the best care.
During the evenings, I receive considerable support from our nanny and experienced individuals who have been immensely helpful in this journey.
In the mornings, I alternate between work and spending time with Tyga and Loka, playing and engaging with them.

– In some families, after the mother gives birth to a younger child, the older children may feel neglected as the mother dedicates most of her time and attention to the newborn. How do you divide your time between your three children to ensure that Mia doesn’t feel left out?
Mia is currently going through puberty, so her psychological state is changing. She doesn’t seek as much closeness with her parents as she did when she was younger, which is typical for teenagers her age.
I recall experiencing similar feelings during my adolescence. I wanted to assert my independence and often resisted listening to the advice of adults. Fortunately, Mia is well-behaved, despite displaying some rebellious tendencies. She still listens to me.
I always make time for my children. On weekends, we go out as a family, and during Mia’s breaks from school, we take extended vacations. This summer, I’m planning a ten-day family trip. These occasions allow me to spend more quality time with my children.
– In your posts, you always speak highly of your mother-in-law. How has she supported you in caring for your children?
My mother-in-law has been incredibly supportive in caring for and raising my children. Before Tyga and Loka were born, she helped take care of Mia while I focused on work, livestreaming, and other commitments. Now that Mia is older, she can also take care of herself to some extent.
Currently, my mother-in-law and I take turns caring for the grandchildren. When my husband and I are busy with work, she steps in to look after Loka and Tyga. Additionally, on days when our nanny is off, my mother-in-law helps with the evening routine so that I can get a full night’s rest and be ready for the next day.
– With three children to care for, how do you and your husband find time to reconnect and keep the romance alive?
We have our alone time after the children go to bed. Fortunately, we have two nannies for Tyga and Loka, so we can go on dates and enjoy dinners outside.
Recently, we celebrated our third wedding anniversary with a four-day trip to Bali, which felt like a honeymoon since we hadn’t taken one before.
– Many fans were surprised to learn that you decided to undergo sterilization after giving birth to your third child. What led to this decision?
My husband and I discussed and agreed on sterilization before I underwent the procedure. We still have embryos stored in a fertility bank, so if we change our minds in the future, we can still have another child.
The main reasons for our decision were to prevent unintended pregnancies and to manage our current family size. If, in the future, I have more time or a more stable financial situation, I may consider having another baby.
My husband supported me throughout this process, and we only proceeded with the sterilization after mutual agreement.
– Your fans are amazed by how quickly you regained your pre-pregnancy figure. Do you have any secrets to share with other mothers?
I drink coffee and practice yoga three times a week, with each session lasting about an hour. After weaning, I adopted a 16:8 intermittent fasting approach, where I fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window.
During the eating window, I have two main meals and supplement with a glass of nut milk and fruit for snacks. I ensure that my calorie intake is less than my body’s calorie expenditure, creating a deficit.
As a result, I regained my pre-pregnancy weight two months after giving birth to Tyga, and three months after Loka. Nearly six months after Loka’s birth, I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 55 kg.
– Now that you’ve returned to work, how do you balance your business, artistic endeavors, and family life?
I can manage my time effectively to balance my business, art, and family. For example, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I wake up early to practice yoga before livestreaming to sell products. Afterward, I spend time with my children, listen to music, and practice new songs.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I attend vocal lessons around 11 am to 12 pm. After lunch, I livestream to sell products and spend the afternoons playing with my children. In the evenings, my husband and I sometimes go out for dinner.
On days when I have filming commitments, I adjust my work schedule accordingly. Since my business is online, I don’t have to worry about being overly busy.
– A mother’s sacrifice during her child’s upbringing is noble and significant. However, some people believe that a woman’s sacrifice is inevitable. What are your thoughts on this opinion?
Being born a woman comes with many disadvantages. We experience physical changes during pregnancy, endure the pain of childbirth, and sometimes bear the scars of a C-section. After giving birth, our bodies may lose essential nutrients like calcium, leading to health issues. Additionally, we may appear older than our age.
If we don’t take care of ourselves, gain excessive weight, neglect skin care, and look older, it’s our fault. If we don’t value ourselves, others won’t either. Women, let’s love ourselves first! Even though we have children to nurture, we must also nurture ourselves. Engage in sports, improve your health, learn skincare routines, get enough sleep, and enrich your knowledge. Whether you’re a mother or not, always be a beautiful, elegant, and noble woman. Your character and personality will determine how others perceive you.
– How does your husband and family support you so that you can focus on your work?
My husband and family are always by my side during my livestreams. In addition to our nannies, my mother-in-law and husband take turns caring for the children. My husband takes the children out in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. He also handles household chores and repairs.
Essentially, my husband provides support so that I can focus on my business and studies.
– What are your plans for your artistic career?
After giving birth to Tyga, I intended to return to music and was preparing for it. However, the unexpected arrival of our third child changed those plans.
Now that Tyga and Loka are more settled, I’m officially returning to the stage. I’ve taken a three-year break, so I plan to release new music and cover songs, both Vietnamese and foreign, to reconnect with my audience.
This year, I’ll be performing in the ‘Jolie 3’ mini-show and releasing new music. I hope that my return will be well-received by my beloved audience.
– Why don’t you accept longer-term artistic projects, such as films or reality shows?
Currently, I’m not ready to return to acting in films as it demands a significant time commitment, and I would miss my children terribly. Perhaps when my children are older, or if a project comes along that doesn’t require a substantial time investment, I may consider it.
– How do you differentiate between Phuong Trinh the artist and Phuong Trinh the mother?
In every role I undertake, I give it my all. When I’m working, I focus entirely on my tasks. Once my work is done, I shift my attention back to my family and children, fulfilling my duties as a mother by playing with them, singing to them, and reading them bedtime stories…
– When some artists become mothers, they choose to dress more conservatively or select artistic projects that align with their new identity. They may also avoid intimate scenes with male co-stars to maintain a positive image for their children. What are your thoughts on this perspective?
I maintain my personal style and dress appropriately for the occasion and venue. For formal events, I opt for a more conservative look. Previously, I favored a dynamic, bold, and sexy style. When I go to the beach or travel, I still wear swimsuits. I don’t understand why some people are overly critical of women wearing bikinis at the beach, as it’s a normal and acceptable practice. I believe it’s about dressing suitably for the context.
I avoid accepting roles that involve excessive intimacy with male co-stars because I’m a married woman, and my children are still very young. I don’t want them to witness or misinterpret scenes of physical intimacy between their mother and another man.
Thank you, Phuong Trinh Jolie, for sharing your story!
