Beloved Korean singer Gummy and her actor husband Jo Jung Suk are officially growing their family! The couple, known for keeping their personal life private while dominating Korea's entertainment world, has confirmed they are expecting their second child, and fans couldn't be happier.
Gummy, whose real name is Park Ji-yeon, is reportedly in her second trimester. According to official statements from her agency Amoeba Culture and Jo Jung Suk's management JAM Entertainment, the couple is taking things slow and cautiously as they prepare to welcome their newest addition.
"It's true that Gummy is pregnant with their second child. As she is still in the early stages of pregnancy, we ask for your warm support," the agencies said in a joint statement.
While an exact due date hasn't been made public, reports indicate Gummy is around 4 to 5 months pregnant, putting her likely delivery date in late 2025 or early 2026. The couple is being discreet with further details, including the baby's gender and exact due date, as they did with their first child.
Their first daughter was born in August 2020, two years after Gummy and Jo Jung Suk tied the knot in a private ceremony.
A Low-Key Power Couple
Gummy and Jo Jung Suk are often described as a "power couple" in Korean entertainment, known for their talents, humility, and grounded relationship. They started dating in 2013 and got married in 2018. Since then, they've kept their relationship mostly out of the public eye, occasionally sharing updates through their agencies or in brief interviews.
Jo, star of hit dramas like Hospital Playlist and films like Exit and Pilot, has spoken fondly of Gummy in past press conferences, often calling her a brilliant mother and a calm presence in his life.
Gummy, a respected ballad singer who rose to fame in the early 2000s, is also a queen of K-drama OSTs, lending her voice to iconic soundtracks including Descendants of the Sun and Hotel Del Luna.
Fan Reactions: Pure Joy
Once news of Gummy's pregnancy broke, fans flooded social media with congratulations. On platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, hashtags like #GummyPregnancy and #JoJungSukBaby2 quickly began trending in South Korea.
"Gummy deserves all the happiness in the world. Such a wholesome couple," wrote one fan on Reddit.
"I'm crying tears of joy. My favorite singer and actor are having another baby!" another added on X.
Jo Jung Suk is currently riding the success of his latest film My Daughter Is a Zombie, and while he hasn't confirmed any major new projects for 2026, insiders say he may take time to support his wife and newborn once the baby arrives.
Gummy, who continues to perform and record, is expected to pause her schedule temporarily, though no official maternity leave has been announced. Her agency simply asked fans to respect her privacy and allow her to focus on her health and family.
