In response to the baseless accusations, Kim Tuyen firmly retorted: “Now, you ask if Quy Binh’s wife hired me, and if I say no, that would be too ordinary. If I say no, you might argue that I’m obviously not going to admit it. But it’s clear that if she had paid someone, it wouldn’t be me; it would be someone much more influential on social media. I’m not exactly a viral sensation or an internet celebrity. Nonetheless, I respect everyone’s emotions and understand that we all have our own thoughts and feelings.”
Empathizing with Quy Binh’s Wife: A Fellow Single Mother
Actress Kim Tuyen shared that one of the main reasons she wanted to speak up for Quy Binh’s wife was their shared experience as single mothers.
The actress expressed: “As a single mother myself, I understand the struggles of a woman co-parenting with her husband, but being the sole caretaker is even more challenging. I hope that women who share similar circumstances as Chi Tien will empathize and offer a more open perspective.”
Meritorious Artist Kim Tuyen has been a single mother since she was 21 years old.
Kim Tuyen is a familiar face in Southern Vietnamese television dramas, with nearly 20 years of artistic experience. Despite her beauty and talent, her personal life has been marked by relationship challenges. Her first marriage ended in divorce, and she became a single mother at the young age of 21, with her daughter, Ngoc Khanh, only 2 years old at the time.
For the past 17 years, Kim Tuyen has shouldered the financial responsibilities of raising her child alone, without support from her ex-husband. Her monthly expenses exceed 100 million VND, with her daughter’s tuition fees accounting for approximately 50 million VND per month. In a 2023 interview, the artist revealed that her daughter had not seen her father in over 10 years.
Kim Tuyen shared: “At this point, the relationship between my daughter and her father is not good. This is due to his irresponsible behavior as a parent. I’m not even referring to his responsibilities as a husband. That’s why my daughter doesn’t ask about him. She has accepted that it’s just me and her grandparents.”
Her daughter, now 18 years old, has not seen her father in over a decade.
Over the years, Kim Tuyen has focused on her career and raising her daughter. She has consistently worked on various television drama projects while also pursuing side businesses to supplement her income.
Her daughter, Ngoc Khanh, is now 18 years old and has blossomed into a young lady. Kim Tuyen takes pride in her daughter’s maturity and good behavior.
Involuntarily Becoming a “Third Party,” but Remaining Single at Age 40
In her nearly 20-year career, Meritorious Artist Kim Tuyen has faced her share of personal scandals. For a long time, she was rumored to be the “third party” in the marriage between actor Huy Khanh and his first ex-wife, businesswoman Luong Hoang Anh.
At the time, Kim Tuyen chose to remain silent. It wasn’t until 2022 that she finally addressed the issue, acknowledging her past mistakes. The artist confessed that, in her youth, she followed her heart without considering the consequences and only later realized her wrongdoing.
Kim Tuyen once found herself in the midst of a “third party” scandal involving actor Huy Khanh.
Kim Tuyen shared: “Back then, I was in my early 20s and had just come out of my first marriage. Perhaps due to emotional vulnerability, I hastily entered a relationship without knowing that the man was already married. In my youth, I lacked the wisdom to question my actions, believing that love was blameless. Now, looking back, I still don’t understand why I allowed the situation to linger before finally ending it. Because, more than anyone, I know that being the third party is always wrong. Sometimes, I wish I could turn back time and prevent that relationship from ever starting. Ever since, I’ve reminded myself never to let love compromise my moral values.”
The actress acknowledged her past mistakes and learned from them.
Kim Tuyen also revealed that after the scandal, she avoided any interaction with Huy Khanh. She shared: “If there was a show with him, I would decline. It wasn’t out of fear, but rather a desire for peace to focus on my career.”
Now, at the age of 38, the star of Mong Phu Hoa is praised for her ever-blooming beauty. However, she remains single. While she has opened her heart over the years, she has yet to find new happiness. Additionally, Kim Tuyen revealed that her daughter supports her in the search for love.

“Although I don’t have specific criteria regarding financial stability, my ideal partner would certainly be talented, giving, and someone I admire and can learn from. I often joke with my daughter, ‘Why am I still single?’ My daughter is very supportive of my search for happiness and tells me that as long as the person makes me happy, she will accept him,” Kim Tuyen shared at the end of 2024.
