Ronny Chieng's Wife Is an Executive Producer and an Attorney
Ronny Chieng's wife is a multinational and accomplished lawyer. She married the "Shang-Chi" star in 2016. They have moved to the big apple and fixed a comfortable routine in Manhattan.
Hanna Pham was born in Melbourne, Australia. She spent five years working towards multiple degrees while in Melbourne. She then worked for a few years, racking up valuable experience in various roles and companies until their big move to New York.
Pham met her first husband while studying in Australia. She married the famous "Crazy Rich Asians" star, Ronny Chieng, who, like his wife, hails from Australasia. She has recently gravitated towards a more independent role as a self-employed executive producer.

Get To Know Hannah Pham
Hannah Chieng has solid cross-country educational background. The Australian-born attorney boasts two qualifications from the University of Melbourne and one from New York City University.
She spent five years at the University of Melbourne and bagged a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Commerce between 2005 and 2010.
In 2009, a year before completion at Melbourne, Hannah got her first encounter with work. She spent two years as a legal assistant at Redflex Traffic Systems. Although her employment was part-time, Pham garnered valuable experience providing legal support to her superiors on international negotiations.
After her part-time experience ended in 2011, Pham spent over a year at Herbert Geer in Melbourne. However, it wasn't until the end of her term at Herbert that the producer got her first solid opportunity. Thomson Geer provided her with the chance, which she grabbed with open arms.

She began her role as a lawyer in April 2012. A role in which she inherited great responsibility. At Thomson Geer, the attorney found her feet, handling the operation of the firm's trademark matters.
Chieng says that Asian parents use weddings as a platform to brag, referring to them as the original dopamine-hitting Instagram.
Already thoroughly educated and considerably experienced in international business since her part-time employment at Redflex Traffic Systems, Pham was tasked to conduct complex litigation for Thomson Geer's international business until 2016.
Pham spent four years and four months at Thomson Geer, followed by a brief period at Wilmer Sugar Australia. She described the work that she did in her short recruitment:
"Providing legal support to Australia's leading sugar and renewable energy company on commercial agreements, including reviewing, drafting and negotiating large scale procurement, distribution, supply and licensing agreements."
The last eight months before the move to New York were the attorney's final laps at full employment in Australia. She spent them working at Phillips Law & Advisory until March 2019.
VICE Media is where she got acquainted with American Law or at least that of New York City. However, this only lasted for three months and reached the end of her stay at VICE Media in September 2020. The beginning of 2021 was the start of Pham's independence when she became a self-employed executive producer.
The producer lives with her husband, Chieng. The couple spends most of their days together unless Chieng is touring. On a Sunday, they head out around 10 a.m. In typical New York fashion, the day's plan always includes indulging in American coffee culture before shopping around for the day's supper ingredients in Chinatown, Manhattan.
Like most New Yorkers, they love to visit Boba Guys on Canal Street. Once They're done taking their mighty New York stroll, the couple head back home to prepare dinner. Chieng added, "Ever since we left Australia, we've been really into cooking Chinese food. We'll make mapo tofu or won ton or steamed fish."
He then disclosed that his wife prepares the food they eat. Pham, who does all the cooking independently, began a Youtube channel titled "Pham Bam Kitchen." Here she, the executive producer, prepares Vietnamese and Asian food for the viewing of her 2000+ followers.
The move to New York took Pham away from her home recipes. This inspired her to research. Through Facetime with her mother, Pham learned her favorite Asian recipes and taught her viewers along the way.
Ronny Chieng Married Hannah Pham 3 Times
Chieng got engaged to Pham on December 30, 2015. The actor shared a photo to his Facebook account announcing their engagement. In the photo, the couple is seen holding hands to show off Pham's engagement ring, with a look of delight on Pham's face in the background.
They went on to have three different wedding ceremonies. Chieng says that Asian parents use weddings as a platform to brag, referring to them as the original dopamine-hitting Instagram. For obvious reasons, the first of their three weddings occurred in Pham's home city, Melbourne, Australia.
After that, they had the second leg of their wedding tour in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Malaysian wedding was more of a feasible meeting point for all parties attending. The couple then concluded their wedding tour in New York. Chieng joked that the final wedding was for acquiring green cards in the USA.
Another celebrity who has been married since 2015 is Tyler Childers, who is expecting his first child this year.
