Quynh Lam breaks up with her British boyfriend

Actress Quynh Lam, 39 years old, said she proactively broke up with her British boyfriend - Alex Selcoe - after 13 years together because they had run out of luck.

The relationship ended half a year ago, but Quynh Lam only confirmed it on April 12. She said that stopping was good for both of them. "We sat down and talked, without arguing or getting angry, but analyzed the conflicts that had existed for many years. I don't feel comfortable sharing in depth because talking too much is not good, it's easy to be uncivilized," Quynh Lam said.

The actress doesn't want people to misjudge her ex-boyfriend. "Alex is loyal, kind, and there was no third person between us. It's just that this love gradually faded over the years, lacking romance, and we both realized we couldn't continue together. Although I'm sad, I can't do anything else. Now we're friends and respect each other," she said.

Quynh Lam was sad at first after the breakup, but now she has regained her balance. For the past six months, she has focused on her work and spent time healing. She said she did not lose faith or have negative thoughts after the breakup, but instead will be optimistic and accept other good things. "I hope to become stronger, and time will heal my heart," she added.

In 2019, Alex Selcoe proposed to Quynh Lam on St Michael's Mount Island in Cornwall, England. The beauty shared many times about her desire to get married, but the plan had to be postponed due to the pandemic.

The actress once praised her boyfriend for being gentle and supporting her in her artistic development. The two met at a year-end party in 2010. Alex was impressed by Quynh Lam's gentle appearance, took the initiative to ask for her phone number, then texted and chatted. During their relationship, they traveled around the world together and were nurtured by relatives. In October 2023, Quynh Lam returned to England to visit Alex's family.
