Singer-actor Lee Seung Gi and actress Lee Da-in are expecting their second child about two years after the birth of their first daughter. Lee Seung Gi, who often showed his extreme 'daughter fool' side on broadcasts, will now welcome even greater happiness as a solid head of household responsible for two children.
On the 12th, Lee Seung Gi's agency Big Planet Made Entertainment told OSEN, "Lee Da-in is five months pregnant, and Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da-in are prioritizing the mother's health and stability and focusing on prenatal care," the agency said in an official statement.
The two, who went public with their relationship in May 2021 and tied the knot in April 2023, welcomed their first daughter in February the following year. At the time of the marriage announcement, Lee Seung Gi confessed his firm affection, saying, "I have decided to spend the rest of my life with Lee Da-in, whom I love, not as lovers but as 'husband and wife,'" and "She is warm-hearted and full of love, someone I want by my side forever."
Lee Seung Gi has openly expressed his happiness as a 'dad' through various broadcasts. He showed particular affection for his first daughter, who looks exactly like him. On one show he said, "There is something the same when she laughs; it's the same as my smiling look. She really seems to resemble me," showing how captivated he was by his daughter's smile that resembles his.
On SBS's My Little Old Boy, when asked, "Is the baby growing well?" he shared, "I take them to and from school with my wife, and that makes me so happy." He added about parenting, "Of course it's hard. Apart from those moments, there are more difficulties. But the impact of happiness is incomparably strong," eliciting empathy from many.
Their journey has not always been smooth. They faced difficulties at the time of their marriage due to controversies surrounding the wife's family, but Lee Seung Gi chose to confront the issue directly and protected his family. Last year he expressed his determination to protect his household in a firm statement, saying, "The trust between family members has been damaged to a level that is difficult to restore, and after long consideration I intend to sever relations with the in-laws."
With such solid trust, fans around the world continue to offer congratulations to Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da-in as they prepare to welcome a new life.
