Lee Si Young Announces Birth of Daughter Via IVF After Divorce

She used a frozen embryo from her marriage to carry a pregnancy following their mutual divorce.

Overview

  • The actress said on Instagram on November 5 that she delivered a baby girl the day before, marking her second child.
  • She conceived through IVF by implanting an embryo that had been frozen during her marriage and transferred after the separation.
  • Her post thanked Professor Won Hye Seong and described the newborn as a gift from God while sharing hospital photos showing the baby under monitoring.
  • Her ex-husband, businessman Cho Seong-hyun, previously told media he opposed having a second child but would fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
  • In a July post, she wrote that the transfer proceeded as the five-year storage limit neared and that she was prepared to take responsibility without her former husband's consent.
