Huynh Thanh Y revealed that her husband has 7 cell phones, 8 social media chat groups. He forbids her from intervening in his personal life, so communication between the couple faces many difficulties.
Duong Tu also has a female confidante and brings her home to meet with Huynh Thanh Y. The actress felt uncomfortable several times but did not dare to react to her husband.
She said, "I don't know if he married me to be a wife or a caregiver. He is cautious, not allowing me to enter his world."
Previously, Duong Tu has shown disdain for his wife on television, causing her to cry. Duong Tu commented that his wife is not intelligent, has not achieved anything in recent years. His harsh criticisms of his wife have angered many viewers.
Also in the show, the 41-year-old beauty admitted that she has thought about divorce. Huynh Thanh Y said her husband is neglectful in caring for their child, making her no different from a single mother.
The actress from Kung Fu Hustle confided that she cannot bear the control and manipulation by her husband. She likened the relationship between the two to business partners rather than husband and wife.

Meanwhile, Duong Tu believes that a woman's role is to take care of and nurture the family. The businessman revealed that he and his wife separated in 2022 but reconciled because they still have feelings and want the best for their two children.
Recently, Duong Tu has been accused of having an affair with the beauty Ly Tuyen Tu - the Global Miss Chinese Pageant 2021. Ly Tuyen Tu joined Duong Tu's company, and they often hold live-streaming sessions to sell products. The 27-year-old beauty has been spotted out with a man 22 years older than her.
According to Sina, Huynh Thanh Y and her husband have significant financial ties. Most of their assets come from the conglomerate founded by Duong Tu's family. The conglomerate operates in multiple fields and is valued at over 3.1 billion RMB (nearly 434 million USD).
Currently, Duong Tu and Huynh Thanh Y hold shares in two companies under the conglomerate. According to Chinese media, if they divorce, Huynh Thanh Y may face difficulties in managing assets and contracts in the entertainment industry.
Huynh Thanh Y met Duong Tu while both were working on a film. At that time, the beauty is embroiled in a contract dispute with the management company of the famous comedian Chau Tinh Tri. Duong Tu stepped in to help Huynh Thanh Y pay a fine of 6 million RMB (over 21 billion VND) to get out of Chau Tinh Tri's company.

After becoming an artist at Duong Tu's company, Huynh Thanh Y started a romantic relationship with him regardless of his marital status. For many years, Huynh Thanh Y lived in secrecy, not disclosing her relationship with Duong Tu even though they have a child together.
Being suspected of being the third party damaged Huynh Thanh Y's career, facing public backlash in China.
In 2015, Huynh Thanh Y and Duong Tu officially declared their relationship, admitting they had been married since 2007 and have one son. Duong Tu also revealed that he divorced his first wife before meeting Huynh Thanh Y.
However, the public still does not forgive the actress with the surname Huynh. She decided to stop her artistic activities, focus on taking care of the family, and gave birth to a second son.
In the early years of their marriage, Huynh Thanh Y was pampered by her husband. The beauty is said to have a large fortune and is dubbed the "billionaire daughter-in-law" of the Chinese entertainment industry. The beauty born in 1983 lives with her child in a luxurious villa, owning assets worth up to 140 million USD.
In 2020, Huynh Thanh Y unexpectedly returned to the entertainment industry, appearing in the popular show Beautiful Woman Fights the Wind and Waves in its first season. Although her efforts throughout the show were recognized by many, her past scandals prevented Huynh Thanh Y from being warmly received by the audience.

For the past three years, the actress has actively participated in artistic activities, returning to acting. However, according to QQ, for many years, Huynh Thanh Y has not had any outstanding works and has been relatively faded in the entertainment industry. Her participation in the reality show is seen as a way to "revitalize" her name.
Huynh Thanh Y (born in 1983) began her career in 2002 and quickly gained the attention of the audience through the movie Red Apple Mansion. Her career only truly flourished when she was supported by the famous "comedy king" Chau Tinh Tri.
In 2003, Huynh Thanh Y received an invitation to audition for the movie Kung Fu Hustle. At that time, she was only 20 years old and was studying at university. Her role as the mute girl in Chau Tinh Tri's Kung Fu Hustle helped Huynh Thanh Y become a star.
However, conflicts between her and Chau Tinh Tri made the beauty one of the "muses" that the "comedy king" shunned. Leaving Chau Tinh Tri's company, Huynh Thanh Y's acting career did not see many notable advancements.
