After two failed marriages, actress Ngoc Quynh felt guilty for not being able to give her three children a complete home.

Artist talks about work, life, relationship with current girlfriend, new movie filming occasion - Milk flowers in the wind.

- Your public announcement of your new girlfriend raises questions about your current marital status. What do you say?

- My wife and I completed the divorce proceedings a year ago. I was secretive so I felt like I had tried my best to hide it until today, but after speaking out, I felt better. We had been at odds for a long time. Early last year, I was invited to act in a movie. Father's Gift, Under the Tree of Happiness but did not dare to accept for fear that personal matters would affect the group.

This is not the first time I have been divorced, but no one knew about the last time. It is a stumble in life. No one wants to get married and then get divorced.

Regarding the new person, at first I didn't want to make it public because the children were still young, afraid of affecting their psychology. However, women in love still want to have a guarantee. Two months ago, my girlfriend - Thuy Anh - posted a photo of the two of us on her personal page, she asked: "Honey, are you okay?". I said "No problem". That was her wish so I respected it.

- What do you say about the rumors that Thuy Anh is the third person interfering in the marriage?

- That's not true. Those who make disparaging remarks don't know what we are like in real life or how we behave. When they see artists having family problems, they easily label us as "vile singers" who don't fulfill their responsibilities. Acting is like any other profession. We can still take care of our families and loved ones. But sometimes our partners are not compatible in many aspects, especially in life views, leading to a breakup. I have my mistakes, my ex-wife has hers. There are couples who find common ground after 5 or 10 years, but we can't. I call it "out of luck" to ease my mind.

My current girlfriend is younger than me but has a mature mindset and lifestyle. She said: "If you live by other people's comments, you will only be worrying about useless things all day." I think it's true. Now I only accept positive stories with good energy and use them as motivation to develop.

- How do you make it up to your children when your parents are no longer together?

- I always feel guilty towards my children, with the thought: "I am a father but I cannot provide my children with a complete family". My eldest son with his first wife is in 10th grade and lives with me. When he was young, he opposed his father's divorce from his mother. Now that he is an adult, he is very manly and considers his father as a friend. We go out together and go to the gym. Regarding my love life, he only says: "Dad, please go to a happy place".

The two children from my second marriage live with their mother. I always take advantage of my free time to visit them. When they need me, I am there immediately, trying to take care of them to the best of my ability. Regarding education, my daughter and I have some opposing views. For example, my daughter is in second grade. In addition to studying at school, her mother sends her to all kinds of classes such as English, music, swimming, dancing, and yoga. I want her to have more time to rest, but her mother wants her to play and study at the same time. In a way, she is successful because her daughter has developed quite comprehensively.

- What do you think about getting married again?

- Everyone wants a perfect marriage. Me too. I have searched twice and still haven't found it enough. If we have enough fate, I will accept it. Currently, I am happy because my lover is in tune with me, we can share with each other about work, family, parents on both sides, and stepchildren.

- Having been awarded the title of Meritorious Artist at the age of 44, what are your goals in your career?

- I am still balancing my stage activities at the agency - Hanoi Drama Theater and acting in TV series. I also act in some series produced by Southern units, most recently Female lawyer , director Trong Trinh. My latest role - Khang in Milk flowers come in the wind, also had marital troubles due to lack of understanding with my spouse. However, I can't say anything yet because the script is not yet complete, my scenes are still quite few.

I hope to have many quality roles, be recognized, and win big awards. For me, being a villain or a hero is not important, the main thing is to portray the character's personality correctly. Besides, I still want to have the opportunity to participate in a movie.
