On Saturday (May 16), the 45-year-old actress announced through her label, YG Entertainment, that she and her husband, whose identity has yet to be revealed, have welcomed a new addition to their family.

Choi Ji Woo gave birth to a daughter on May 16. Both the mother and the child are healthy, and Choi Ji Woo is currently resting. We would like to thank everyone for their congratulatory wishes,” read YG's statement.

She had secretly tied the knot in 2018 with a man who’s said to be nine years her junior. Little is known about her husband but rumours claim that he is the CEO of an IT firm, which is allegedly funded by her, and that he also used to work at a host bar .

It was only a week ago that the Winter Sonata actress posted a photo of herself holding balloons that revealed that she's having a baby girl. She also posted a hand-written note.

“Hello! Long time no see.

First, I would like to send my wishes to everyone’s families who are having a hard time due to COVID-19.

I’m down to the last two weeks of my pregnancy and just took a photo of myself in front of my home. After becoming pregnant at an older age and making careful preparations due to COVID-19, I feel a great level of respect for Korean mothers.

I hope that other expecting mums who are also preparing to give birth can draw inspiration from me, the 'icon' of late pregnancy.

I hope that there will be better news to come when I check in with you guys again after I give birth,” Ji Woo wrote.

Congratulations Ji Woo, and here’s hoping we'll get to see pics of your daughter soon.
