South Korean actress Lee Si-young has shared the joyful news of giving birth to her second child through IVF. She posted heartfelt photos on Instagram, showing her newborn daughter’s tiny hands, herself holding the baby on a white blanket, and a final picture of her walking through the hospital after giving birth. She also included photos of her son from her previous marriage.
In her caption, Lee Si-young expressed gratitude, writing that she would see her daughter as a gift from God and promised to make sure both her children, “Shik Shik-ie” (her daughter’s nickname meaning strong) and Jeong Yun, are happy for life. She thanked Professor Won Hye Seong for supporting her, saying she would never forget this kindness.
This new chapter comes after her divorce from restaurateur Cho Seong-hyun. The couple married in September 2017 and had their first child, a son, in January 2018. Their divorce was confirmed earlier this year, with the agency stating it was a mutual decision and respecting the couple’s privacy.
After the separation, Lee Si-young chose to implant an embryo that had been frozen during her marriage, deciding to carry the child herself. Fans and netizens praised her choice as courageous and beautiful, calling her daughter a “gift from God.” The actress, best known for her roles in Sweet Home, Grid, and Salon De Holmes, has once again embraced motherhood with strength and grace.
