Maggie Q Is Married!
From: OK! Magazine USA
The Ballard actress recently confirmed she is married to Curtis Macnguyen, a retired hedge fund manager. In an interview shared by The Pennsylvania Gazette, Macnguyen said he and his family left their home in South Vietnam to live in the U.S.
"For a kid, it was fun," he said of their journey. "We were eating American food for the first time and it tasted great. We played during the day and at night they showed movies. [The US military] made it very pleasant."
Macnguyen founded the hedge fund Ivory Investment Management in 1998. It returned 28 percent in its first full year of operation in 1999 and helped the founder make 17 percent the following year.
According to FA Magazine, the business experienced ups and downs in the years that followed, prompting the company to hire a new CEO in 2011 and make a purchase in 2012.
Q first talked about her "partner" in a 2022 interview with People, saying she was lucky to have someone "who cares more about my health and well-being than even I do and reminds me to give more to myself, so in turn, I have more to give back."
"I make a conscious decision not to work at night. It's important to me that my partner knows they're a priority," she shared without revealing Macnguyen's identity. "At night we'll catch up and solve any issues."
Two months after her People interview, Q and Macnguyen made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Berggruen Prize Plaza in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Although the two keep their relationship private, Q finally talked about Macnguyen again in an interview for People's My Good Morning series.
During the discussion, the Naked Weapon star said she sleeps separately from her partner.
"There's nothing better in the morning than a cuddle to show how much you love your person. The first thing I think when I open my eyes is, 'Is my partner lonely?'" she said.
Q added, "Sometimes my partner snores. I don't want to sleep separately, but sometimes you can't handle the noise. In the morning, I go back to him and give him a hug and make him feel loved."
In an episode of Live with Kelly & Mark, Q revealed she is married to her partner of several years.
"You know what's funny? My friends and the people around me knew he was the one before I knew he was. And I was just, to be very honest and not to be a cheese ball, I was just appreciating him as a person," she noted.
Q described Macnguyen as "a very generous and caring and kind" person, adding he "had all these qualities and I just remember thinking this is one of the most wonderful people I know and that was enough for me."
"So, it wasn't like, I didn't need anything more from him. It was a friend. It felt good to know somebody who was real and good, you know, and that was it. I had no expectation," she continued. "And I think that's when it happens, you know, when you don't think something's going to happen."

麦克阮于1998年创立了对冲基金象牙投资管理公司（Ivory Investment Management）。1999年，该基金在运营首年便实现28%的收益率，并在次年继续为他带来17%的收益。

🎬还有，看剧时新一集开头通常会有的一个说法：previously on ...，...的前情提要，前情回顾。

cheese ball
cheese ball是一个非正式、口语化的表达，用来形容一个人或说话内容非常肉麻、煽情、俗气或甜得发腻，类似中文里说的“太腻了”“太狗血”“有点土味情话”。此处not to be a cheese ball有点类似中文里：“我说这话不是想撒狗粮……”、“不是我肉麻，但真的……”
Q described Macnguyen as "a very generous and caring and kind" person, adding he "had all these qualities and I just remember thinking this is one of the most wonderful people I know and that was enough for me."
李美琪称麦克阮是“一个非常慷慨、体贴、善良的人”，并补充说他“具备这些品质，我当时就觉得，他是我遇到过最美好的人之一，这就足够了。”
"So, it wasn't like, I didn't need anything more from him. It was a friend. It felt good to know somebody who was real and good, you know, and that was it. I had no expectation," she continued. "And I think that's when it happens, you know, when you don't think something's going to happen."
“所以说，我并没有期望他还要为我做什么。他就是一个朋友。认识这样一个真实又善良的人让我很安心，仅此而已。我没有多想。”她继续说：“有时候，命运就是在你最没有期待的时候悄然发生。”
