Areum And Her Personal Life Details: Divorce And New Partner
As mentioned earlier, Areum got hitched on 20 October 2019 by non-celebrity businessman- Kim Younggeol. Little did you know, their marriage was scheduled to take place in 2020. But, the two hastily did it because of her early pregnancy.
A few months later, more precisely in May, they were blessed with a baby boy- their first child, whom they named- Kim Jaeha. Areum surprised her fans in November last year by the news of her second pregnancy. She was finally welcomed in January 2023.
Recently, on 10 December 2023, the former T-ARA star, Areum, shared that he decided to end her marriage. Talking more about it, she has filed a divorce lawsuit as she suffered for a long time. Guess what? During her claimed crucial time, someone stayed by her side and supported her fully. Areum shared that as her divorce settlement takes place, she will soon marry the person.
Concerning her plans with her current boyfriend, Areum said, “We will register our marriage as soon as the divorce lawsuit is over, and we have already promised to marry each other. We will achieve our dreams together coolly, and have promised to set up the “Areum Foundation” to help many children.”
Knowing this, many people accused Areum of cheating on her ex-husband. But, on that, she cleared out those allegations, stating that he stayed absent from her life for a long time. So, those accusations are false. Even during her second pregnancy, she gave birth all alone. In short, Areum led a very “miserable” married life in the past.
At present, as the Kpop star has a new man in her life, she feels safe and secure. Feeling loved and cared for is indeed a special one. While making this revelation about her plans, Areum also shared that she doesn’t care about the harsh comments.
She already knew that people would talk bad about her. Her post also had a part that said, “You are free to think whatever you want to, but please remember that if you speak those thoughts out, you can be punished. I hope you make good decisions.”
So, who is Areum’s new boyfriend? Well, she has not revealed his name but didn’t fail to gush about him. He is a very loving, caring, supportive, and responsible person.
She said, “I have found someone who makes me always want to be next to him. He is someone who fills my once painful dreams with hope and flutters and is bearing many things to help make my dreams come true.” She is grateful to have him in her life and can’t wait more for their marriage.
Being a long-time fan of Areum, it feels good to see her happy. That matters the most. Since she opened up about how miserable the married life she had led previously was, it’s good that she has now found the right person for her.
