- Johnny Tri Nguyen (2007-2011) – According to reports, Ngo started going out with actor Johnny Tri Nguyen in 2007. They had reportedly grown close while working in the movie, Dong Mau Anh Hung (The Rebel). Although Johnny was married to Cathy Viet Thi, the rumors of them being a couple were incessant in the Vietnamese press. Then, in 2008, Johnny separated from his wife. This led to a huge scandal as Ngo was slammed by some tabloids and general audience for playing a key role in the dissolution of Johnny’s marriage. They eventually made their relationship public. Their relationship lasted for a couple of years after being made public. In the summer of 2011, the rumors of them having being separated started swirling around. Ngo had allegedly started going out with someone else. They eventually released a statement confirming that they were no longer together. But they insisted that their separation was temporary as they wanted to give it a try. But they failed to make it work.
- Patrick Nguyen (2011) – In June 2011, Ngo was rumored to be going out with Patrick Nguyen, who is a fitness instructor and martial artist. It was rumored that Ngo’s cozy equation with Patrick had led to the end of her relationship with Johnny.
- Jordan Vogt-Roberts (2017) – In early months of 2017, Ngo was reported to be dating American director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who is best known for having directed Kong: Skull Island. The dating rumors were sparked by his social media activity as he shared her picture on multiple occasions. Also, they were hanging out together during his trip to Vietnam.
