Actress Lee Si Young Reveals Surprise Pregnancy After Divorce

Actress Lee Si Young, who finalized her divorce in March, has surprised fans by announcing her pregnancy.

On the 8th, Lee Si Young shared the unexpected news on her personal channel, stating, "I am currently pregnant," and explained her decision to reveal it now: "I thought it was better to avoid rumors and confusion in advance."

Lee Si Young continued, "During my marriage, I prepared for a second child through IVF, but the fertilized embryo was not implanted for a long time, and discussions about divorce naturally followed." She added, "As all legal matters were being settled, coincidentally, the five-year storage period for the frozen embryo was nearing expiration, and I had to make a choice. I decided to proceed with the implantation."

"I couldn’t bring myself to let go of the embryo as its storage period neared expiration," she confessed, expressing, "There may be many challenges ahead, and I had various concerns about different possibilities, but I want to believe this choice carries deeper meaning."

Lee Si Young married a restaurateur in September 2017 and welcomed a son in January the following year, but the couple divorced last March after eight years.

Below is the full text of Lee Si-young's message.

Hello.
This is Lee Si Young.

I am currently pregnant.
I am sharing this news first because I believe it is better to prevent misunderstandings and speculations in advance.

Eight years ago, when I had Jung-yoon, the most precious being in my life, I was unmarried and filming a drama.
I was younger and very lacking back then.
Watching Jung-yoon grow year by year, I regretted and blamed myself for the times I spent with anxiety and negativity.
So I promised myself that if life came to me again, I would never repeat those regrets.

During my marriage, I prepared for a second child through IVF.
However, the fertilized embryo was not implanted for a long time, and discussions about divorce naturally followed.

As all legal matters were being settled, coincidentally, the five-year storage period for the frozen embryo was nearing expiration, and I had to make a choice. I personally decided to proceed with the implantation.
My partner did not agree, but I am willing to bear the weight of my decision alone.

I have always longed for children, and I never wanted to repeat the regrets I felt with Jung-yoon.  I couldn’t bring myself to let go of the embryo as its storage period neared expiration.

What kept me going through the difficult marriage was the angelic child who filled my life with happiness, hope, and inspiration.
The miracle of being called "Mom" felt like the reason for my existence.

There may be many challenges ahead, and I had various concerns about different possibilities, but I want to believe this choice carries deeper meaning.
I believe this choice is a significant decision in my life.
Looking back, the most important thing in my life has always been my child.
Through miraculous times that filled my incomplete life and gave me strength I didn't have, I feel my life is finally becoming complete.

I am only filled with gratitude for the new life that has come to me, and I am spending more peaceful and happy times than ever.

I will humbly accept any criticism or advice you may offer me in the future.
With gratitude for the child who has come to me once again, I will live my life with deep responsibility, ensuring that the child lacks nothing, even if I am alone.

Thank you for reading this long message.
