In her personal life, Kungploy was once married and legally registered as the wife of the famous actor Noom Soram Theppitak. They married on 22 September 2018 and have one daughter, Viji. Throughout their marriage, they faced ongoing public drama.
In September 2020, Noom Soram posted their divorce papers on his personal Instagram and announced the end of their relationship. They agreed to only fulfill their roles as parents. He also said anyone visiting Kungploy’s home should contact her directly, as he and their daughter are not involved with her debts.
Kungploy admitted she was addicted to online gambling, which caused her family life to fall apart. She accumulated heavy debts from borrowing illegally to gamble, stole 400,000 baht from her ex-husband’s ATM card, and sold 3 baht of their daughter’s gold. This sparked a major scandal. The divorce was registered on 20 January 2020 due to problems from that time, but she initially said the divorce was to change their luck, hoping they could reunite. Ultimately, everything collapsed.
After the separation, she changed her name to Kungploy Kanittharin Patcharapakditchoti and focused on working to repay debts. She continues to be a devoted mother to Viji, regularly visiting and caring for her daughter. Despite past drama over comments implying she tried to pursue Noom Soram, which he denied and asked to stop referencing, she respects her ex-husband’s decision and is not resentful. She intends to move on.
