Everyone's thrilled that the female contestants who fell in love on the set of The Bachelor Vietnam are still together

If you haven’t seen the now viral moment from The Bachelor Vietnam when two contestants declared they fell for each other instead of the bachelor, then you need to see it pronto.

The clip begins with contestant Minh Thu reflecting on her time on the show. After telling Bachelor Quoc Trung that she’s found love, she drops a bombshell, adding that she’s found it with someone else on the show.

Minh Thu then turns to fellow contestant, Truc Nhu, and asks if she’ll leave with her.

And this was my reaction: 

And then, the best thing happened, Truc Nhu gave back her rose to Quoc Trung!

Before leaving the rose ceremony with Minh Thu, Truc Nhu told him, “I know you’ll find someone who really loves you, who understands you, who knows how to take care of you, who can look at you from afar and know how you’re feeling. I’m sorry.”

We were all happy for these two and they stole our hearts. But then Nextshark revealed that Quoc Trung was eventually able to convince Truc Nhu to remain on the series after a “heart to heart”, which made me think it was all over for the love birds.

But then!

NextShark had an interview with one of the producers of the show who confirms that the couple are still together! "They left the show and have been together since. We delivered on our promise that two people would find love," says Anh Tran producer of the Bachelor Vietnam.

In the same interview, another of the show’s producer’s, Anh-Thu Nguyen, spoke to the significance of the moment when Minh Thu and Truc Nhu declared their love on television.

"Especially in the context of Vietnamese culture, where family and saving face can often be prioritised over all else, including love, the fact these women made this declaration during the rose ceremony in front of everyone is even more awe-inspiring," she said.

And it really is. I hope these two have a very long and happy future together.
