Siu Black on Forgiving Her Husband for His Past Infidelity
In a recent Antrich podcast, renowned singer Siu Black not only shared insights into her illustrious career but also opened up about her marital life. It is known that Siu Black and her husband, former volleyball player Nguyen Duc Hung, divorced but reconciled in 2019 for the sake of their children. In 2023, the couple held a special wedding ceremony at a church in Dak Lak City, Kon Tum Province.
During the interview, MC Vu Manh Cuong asked Siu Black: “Forgiveness is one thing, but reconnecting with the person you once forgave is a much harder story, especially with a spouse who has cheated on you. Most women wouldn’t stand to be with someone who has deceived them, but you chose to forgive. Can you share your thoughts on this?”
Siu Black and her husband were previously divorced.
The iconic singer from the Central Highlands shared: “To be honest, my husband didn’t want a divorce, but I was stubborn. I wanted a divorce and couldn’t accept the fact that he was involved with another woman. Later, when my son grew up, he said, ‘Mom, can I call dad?’ It was 2018, and my eldest son was getting married. I told him, ‘You can call him, he’s your father, but I won’t.’ He asked politely, and I didn’t want to disappoint him on his wedding day. So, his father attended the wedding, and I took care of all the arrangements.
After the wedding, I started building a new house. As I was doing it alone, my husband asked my family for permission to help me. My sister agreed, telling him to go ahead and help.
The couple reconciled in 2019 and surprisingly remarried in 2023.
My family told me, ‘Don’t ever think of remarrying. You’re a religious person, and it’s hard for you to find a husband, so don’t make things difficult for others because you’ve suffered enough.’ I listened to my family and didn’t remarry. I thought I’d raise my two sons and then my grandchildren, and that would be my happiness. And that’s what I’ve been doing until now.
Later, my husband asked me to live together again, and I agreed. We both went back to studying our faith and spent six months learning the catechism before getting married in the church. Now, my husband is even more devout than I am; he’s very active in our faith.”
The female singer once refused to listen to her husband’s explanations.
Speaking about her forgiving nature, Siu Black shared: “It depends on the person. I’m an easy forgiver, and I also see the other side of people. I think it was partly my fault, too. If I had been more forgiving and willing to listen to his explanations back then, things might have been different. But I was stubborn and didn’t want to hear anything. I just wanted him out of my life because I thought he had wronged me. Of course, at that time, I couldn’t accept forgiveness.”
Siu Black’s Near-Death Experience: “On the 10th Day, My Family Thought I Wouldn’t Make It”
During the conversation, Siu Black also recounted the ups and downs of her life. She expressed: “From my experience, when you fall into a pit, you have to find a way to climb out. You have to believe in yourself. If I hadn’t believed in myself, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you today. I might have stayed in the Central Highlands and never gone anywhere else. But when I let go, I realized that everything can be forgiven.
If someone hates me, how can I make them love me? I have to work harder than others because I’ve failed before. There were times when I thought I was going to die.
For ten days, I lay in bed, hallucinating and even dreaming of my parents. I couldn’t eat or drink, and I was in a semi-conscious state. I showed all the signs of someone about to die. Everyone thought I was gone. But in my dreams, my parents sent me back, not allowing me to go with them.
On the tenth day, my family was in tears, thinking I wouldn’t make it. But I pulled through thanks to my faith. My family and I all have our own beliefs. They told me to keep trying and, if I couldn’t pray, to at least make the sign of the cross. So, I lay there quietly, making the sign of the cross.
On the eleventh day, I told my sister, ‘I want to eat porridge.’ She was overjoyed and quickly made me some thin porridge and gave me milk. But my stomach had narrowed due to ten days of not eating, so I vomited whatever I ate. The doctor was afraid and said my body couldn’t take it, so he quickly removed the IV from my arm. It was only after a few days, when my body recovered, that I could receive IV fluids again.
Siu Black has gone through many ups and downs in life.
I remember going for a drip, and as soon as the fluid entered my body, the blood flowed back out. I ate, but I vomited. The doctor was scared and immediately removed the IV from my body. It wasn’t until a few days later, when my body recovered, that I was able to receive IV fluids again.
The priest also came to my house to talk to me because I was very sad and didn’t want to talk to anyone. He sat and explained things to me beautifully. After that, I returned to God and woke up. From then on, I pray for everything I do and for good health. Thanks to that, I was able to get back on my feet.
Of course, life is not always smooth sailing, but having faith makes me feel lighter and calmer in my mind and, most importantly, gives me hope for the future. Although I don’t do anything grand, faith helps me overcome the smallest to the biggest challenges. In the darkness of despair, there is always light.”
Now, after experiencing many joys and sorrows in life, Siu Black advises young people: “I’ve met people who made me feel insignificant. So why don’t I rise above them? They have more suffering and loss than I do, yet they can rise again. So why can’t I? Siu Black believes that believing in yourself is the key to rising above adversity. Life is always beautiful. I can cry and be sad down here, but when I’m on stage, I’m a different person.”
Thanks to “believing in herself,” she was able to overcome her challenges.
