Thai heartthrob shocks fans by cutting ties with his own mother

May 10, 2026

Hanoi [Vietnam], May 10: News that actor Nine Naphat (full name Naphat Siangsomboon) has publicly revealed a deep rift with his mother, Moo Pimpaka Siangsomboon, is becoming the focus of the Thai entertainment industry. After a long period of silence amidst speculation, the 1996-born actor confirmed that he and his mother are now living separately and have completely cut off contact.
Appearing before the media, Nine Naphat affirmed that publicly revealing this truth was his way of showing respect to his audience. "I spoke from my feelings. I'm a decisive person and I hate lying to people. This is the truth, and I accept what happened. Nobody is perfect; I'm just a young person with my own feelings and opinions like everyone else," the actor confided.
When asked whether this action would provoke mixed reactions in a society that highly values ​​filial piety like Thailand, the star of the film Friend Zone frankly stated that he had done his best in all the roles and responsibilities of a son.
Nine Naphat confided: "Whether you're an actor or a celebrity, everyone has a heart, the right to be sad, and the right to move on. My actions may be criticized, but ultimately, I choose myself and what's best for my physical and mental health. Right now, this is the best path I can choose.
Thai heartthrob reveals details about his "new girlfriend"
Notably, besides confirming his strained relationship with his family, Nine Naphat also revealed for the first time that he has found solace in his new girlfriend. It is known that his current girlfriend is 30 years old, a woman outside the entertainment industry who entered his life naturally.
Although he doesn't hide his new relationship and is in the serious getting-to-know-each-other stage, the Thai heartthrob expressed his wish for the public to respect his privacy in order to protect his new happiness. He hopes his fans will continue to support him on his career path as well as in these difficult personal decisions.
Nine Naphat's estrangement from his biological mother, who had supported and managed him throughout his career, is causing much regret. Many believe that Moo Pimpaka's excessive interference in her son's private life, particularly his relationship with his former girlfriend Baifern Pimchanok, was the "last straw" that led to this situation.
In Vietnam, Nine Naphat is one of the Thai heartthrobs with a large fan base thanks to his elegant appearance and natural acting style. He became the "dream lover" of millions of viewers after the resounding success of the blockbuster film " Friend Zone, " starring alongside Baifern Pimchanok in 2019. The film not only stormed the Vietnamese box office but also helped this "golden couple" gain enthusiastic support from fans who have been "shipping" them for many years.
Besides that, the actor, born in 1996, has also made a strong impression through many popular television works such as " A Tale of Ylang Ylang ," " Rak Kan Panlawan ," and the emotional film " A Gift . " With his distinctive gentlemanly style and a personal life once considered a role model, Nine Naphat's current family troubles have truly left many viewers surprised and regretful.
