Actress Lee Si Young Welcomes Second Child After Divorce and IVF

On November 5, 2025, South Korean actress Lee Si Young announced the birth of her second child, a daughter, on her Instagram account. The announcement has quickly attracted widespread attention from her 3.9 million followers.

Lee Si Young's journey to this joyful moment has not been without its challenges. The actress was previously married to a non-celebrity businessman, but the couple divorced earlier this year. Following the separation, Lee made the decision to proceed with a second pregnancy using an embryo frozen during her marriage, opting to use IVF rather than discard the embryo.

In her announcement, Lee expressed her gratitude to those who have supported her, writing, "I'll think of her as a gift God gave to Mom. I will make sure Shik Shik-ie (baby's nickname meaning strong) and Jeong Yun are happy for life." She also thanked the medical team, including Professor Won Hye Seong, for their care and assistance during this journey.

The birth of Lee Si Young's daughter has prompted discussion on social media, reflecting both the challenges and opportunities presented by IVF and modern parenting after divorce. The actress's decision to share her experience publicly has resonated with many of her followers, who have expressed their support and congratulations.
