The truth behind the rumor that the runner-up wears matching rings, secretly "claiming ownership" with Đình Bắc

Runner-up Cẩm Ly has officially denied the rumor about wearing matching rings with striker Đình Bắc, confirming that she has been using this piece of jewelry for a long time.

The relationship between runner-up Cẩm Ly and the 2026 U23 Asia top scorer Đình Bắc has become the focus of online attention. After many enthusiastic "shipper" moments, internet detectives recently noticed that both often wear rings on their index fingers. This image immediately sparked speculation that the couple is quietly showing their affection through matching rings to "mark their territory."

In response to the growing rumors, runner-up Cẩm Ly has directly addressed the matter for the first time. Under her post, when receiving numerous questions about the "couple rings," the beauty born in 2003 candidly shared: “I’ve been wearing this ring for a very long time.”.

In fact, by reviewing old photos, this ring has accompanied the beauty queen for a long time, even before she was linked to the Nghệ An football player. This action is considered a subtle denial of the claim that she is using matching rings with Đình Bắc.

As for Đình Bắc, the U23 Vietnam star number 7 remains silent amid all rumors. On his personal page, the striker still has his relationship status set to "single." However, fans have found interesting interactions between him and "beauty queen boss" Phạm Kim Dung - the leader of the unit managing Cẩm Ly, keeping the excitement alive.

Notably, not only those involved but also the parents have spoken out early. Đình Bắc’s mother, Ms. Ngọc, denied the dating rumors and affirmed that her son is currently focused on his career:

“Bắc hasn’t fallen in love with anyone, just friends. When I joked, ‘Bắc, am I about to have a daughter-in-law?’ he said, ‘Love? Not at this time. Just want to have fun first.’”. She also added that she only hopes for a simple, obedient daughter-in-law who knows how to treat others well, without emphasizing flashy appearances.

Cẩm Ly is currently the 2nd runner-up of the 2024 Vietnam National Beauty Pageant and studies at the Vietnam Aviation Academy. Meanwhile, Đình Bắc just finished a brilliant U23 Asia Championship with the top scorer title. Although both are talented young faces expected by the audience to become a couple, statements from those involved show they currently maintain a close friendship.
