T-ARA‘s Areum addressed rumors that she was pregnant and had cheated on her ex-husband after announcing that she is getting re-married.
On December 11, E-Daily released an interview they had conducted with the second-generation idol. On this day, the idol addressed pregnancy rumors that were sparked after her marriage announcement.
There are people who speculated that I was pregnant, and that was the reason why I made my marriage announcement, but that isn’t true. I didn’t get divorced because I met this new person. I was already in the process of getting a divorce before meeting this person.

Previously, Areum shocked fans when, in the same post announcing her divorce, the idol revealed that she would also be getting married.

Through her social media she explained that she was still in the midst of a divorce, but had met a precious new person. She also clarified that she had not been cheating on her ex-husband and that the two had been separated for a long time.
The definition of “cheating” is when someone loves two people at the same time. I gave birth to my second child alone, and I’ve lived a miserable life. I’ve been holding on barely, thinking about my children. I want to enjoy my life now. In the future, I’ll be dealing with malicious comments and guesses strictly. You’re 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. I hope you will only leave comments of hope and support.
We wil 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 cooly, and have promised to set up the “Areum Foundation” to help many children.
As he didn’t sign the papers, we’ve been “divorced” for a few years already, just that it wasn’t legally sealed. I don’t think I need to say more. There’s also no need to slander him, or write childish posts about him. I don’t even want to think about it. I don’t want to be tangled up in messy punishments for slander, so I’m just going to bury it. So I don’t even want to think about attacking him. I’m going to think of only the good things and forget about the painful things!

Meanwhile, Areum married businessman Kim Young Gul in 2019. The couple reportedly has two children together.
