Bui Thi Yen Xuan, the wife of Vietnamese-Russian goalkeeper Dang Van Lam, confidently showcased her toned waist after shedding 11.5 kg just 22 days after giving birth to their first son.

Xuan posted a video on Instagram on March 11, revealing her slim waist and flat lower abdomen three weeks after delivering baby Gau. She proudly wore her favorite outfit from before pregnancy, with a fitted top and shorts. Xuan said that she had dropped from 62.5 kg to 51 kg, now only 2.5 kg heavier than her pre-pregnancy weight.

Her impressive transformation has drawn praise from many fans, who have been asking for her weight loss tips.

Xuan, 34, gave birth via cesarean delivery in HCMC on Feb. 17. She resumed light workouts eight days later, and by day 10, she started lower-body exercises.

With the help of a nanny in the evenings, she has been able to get sufficient rest. During the day, she takes care of her baby, does household chores, reads and works out. Occasionally, she and Lam take time off for short outings to relax and enjoy private moments together. She mentioned that she avoids carrying her baby too much to prevent him from becoming overly attached.

A personal trainer by profession, Xuan is expected to return to coaching at the end of March.

Lam, now playing for Ninh Binh FC in northern Vietnam, has returned home to HCMC to take care of his family, as domestic football competitions are on a one-month break.

Despite being in good form, Lam was not selected by Vietnam national team coach Kim Sang-sik for international duty in March 2025, including a friendly match with Cambodia and a game against Laos for the Asian Cup qualifiers.

As one of Vietnam's most prominent goalkeepers for the past eight years, Lam has enjoyed significant success, including an AFF Cup victory, reaching the Asian Cup quarter-finals, and playing in the World Cup qualifiers.
