Lee Si-young is pregnant with her second child.

On the 8th, Lee Si-young's agency Ace Factory confirmed to OSEN, "It is true that Lee Si-young is recently pregnant. It is her second child with her ex-husband," and added, "We cannot provide specific details beyond this because it is a private matter."

Lee Si-young married businessman Jo, who is nine years older, in 2017, and after giving birth to her first child in 2018, she prepared for the pregnancy of her second child through in vitro fertilization. As the maximum preservation period of five years approached, she decided to implant the embryo she had frozen before discarding it, resulting in a successful pregnancy. However, the couple faced a separation earlier this year after eight years of marriage.

In connection with this, Lee Si-young said through social media, "I am pregnant. The reason I want to share this first is that I thought it would be better to prevent misunderstandings and speculations about what will happen in the future."

Lee Si-young said, "I prepared for my second child through in vitro fertilization during my marriage. However, a long time passed without receiving the implanted embryo, and discussions about divorce naturally arose. Just as all legal matters were being settled, coincidentally, the expiration of the five-year frozen embryo preservation period approached."

Lee Si-young decided to undergo the embryo implantation. She stated, "The other party did not agree, but I intend to bear the weight of my decision entirely. I have always wanted a child and did not want to repeat the regrets I felt through Jung-yoon, and I simply could not bring myself to discard the embryo that was nearing its preservation period."

She continued, "There may be countless difficulties ahead, and I have considered many possibilities, but I want to believe that my choice now is more valuable, despite all of that. Looking back, what has always been the most precious in my life has been my child," and added, "I will humbly accept any criticisms or advice offered to me in the future. With gratitude towards the baby who has come back to me, who is still lacking in many ways, I will live my life diligently with deep responsibility so that my child lacks nothing even on my own."

Thus, Lee Si-young confirmed that she is pregnant with her second child with her ex-husband, but clarified that they are not reconciling.
