Mr. DP Pham, Wendy Pham’s father, resides and works in the United States, where he owns several auto repair shops. His identity was revealed after the passing of artist Phi Nhung in 2021. During her lifetime, the singer of Bông Điên Điển praised her former husband for his kindness and good nature.
Phi Nhung once confided in her daughter: “Your father is a kind and good man; we just didn’t have the same fate. He didn’t like me singing, but I continued to do so. However, you must respect him and your grandmother. You must be a well-behaved child, which is what I want.”

Over time, Wendy Pham’s father has shared numerous heartwarming moments with his daughter’s family. He maintains a close relationship with his son-in-law, Tom Vo, and his grandchildren, staying in daily contact with them.
In 2022, Phi Nhung’s former husband sent a heartfelt message to his daughter before relocating from the United States to Germany for work. He instructed his daughter: “I’m off to work now, but first, remember to burn incense for your mother. Secondly, ask your mother to bless you and Tom with good health, delicious meals, and a happy life. Ask her to bless your children to grow up healthy and smart. May she bless you and Tom with happiness and spare you from the fate she and I had. Goodbye, I’m off to the airport now. Take care of your health and remember to burn incense for your mother.”

Nearly four years after her mother’s passing, Phi Nhung’s daughter leads a peaceful life with her own family in the United States. After welcoming two sons, Nathan and Nicholai, Wendy Pham and her husband, Tom, completed their family with the birth of their daughter, Madilyn, in 2024, now having “both a boy and a girl.”
Madilyn’s middle name in Vietnamese is “Nhung Vo,” a tribute to her late grandmother. Wendy Pham often plays her mother’s music videos for her children to ensure they remember her. To this day, Phi Nhung’s grandchildren continue to cherish their grandmother’s memory.
On one occasion, Wendy Pham shared a touching story about her son’s remembrance of his grandmother: “Today, Nicholai watched his grandmother singing and said he missed her. ‘Where is my grandmother? I want to see her.’ My heart aches for these three grandchildren.”

Additionally, Wendy Pham sent money to care for her mother’s adopted children, who reside in a pagoda.
