Sohu reported that after announcing his marriage registration with his 50-year-old assistant Tu Manh, painter Pham Tang recently had an official party to introduce his fourth wife to the public. Their marriage became a topic of discussion on Chinese social networks because the age gap was too far.
According to Pham Tang, after his third wife Truong Que Van passed away in 2021, the famous artist suffered a mild stroke that prevented him from composing. It was Tu Manh who was there to take care of him and act as a spiritual fulcrum for him, and the two found harmony in their souls with each other. Therefore, Pham Tang decided to marry a woman 50 years younger than him. However, this marriage is considered difficult to accept. Tu Manh was accused of wanting to take advantage of the famous artist, while Mr. Pham Tang was criticized for being emotionally blind.
Sohu added that artist Pham gave his fourth wife a Ferrari supercar. Tu Manh also enjoys a prosperous life with many famous brands and expensive handbags.

According to Sohu, Pham Tang’s married life once caused a lot of controversy. In his first marriage, he married Mrs. Lam Tu, also a talented calligrapher, from a wealthy background, and her painting level was even higher than Pham Tang’s. Mrs. Lam Tu argued with her family to marry Pham Tang, but their marriage only lasted 5 years.
The male artist’s second wife was Ms. Bien Bao Hoa, a classmate at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The two have been together for 20 years and have a daughter. Bien Bao Hoa is a devoted wife who helps a lot in Pham Tang’s career.
However, while still married to Bien Bao Hoa, Pham Tang fell in love with Truong Que Van, the wife of a philanthropist who often supported him. The two dated secretly for 10 years. Later, Truong Que Van herself admitted to her husband about this extramarital relationship in order to divorce Pham Tang. Pham Tang also bought his own house to live with his lover. Because of this decision, he received a lot of criticism, and his daughter also disowned the artist.
