Vivian is Matt's girlfriend and later, his wife. Kim is extremely envious of Vivian not just because she also loves Matt, but because Vivian is gorgeous, genuinely nice, and extremely charming. Her father works as a tailor and employs her when she's a teen, but Matt tells Kim when they meet as adults that Vivian was later forced to find work in a bridal shop. She and Matt have a five-year-old daughter in the epilogue and another baby on the way.
