Dami Im announces she is expecting second child with husband Noah Kim - after sharing struggles of balancing motherhood with career

Dami Im is expecting her second child. 

The X Factor star, 36, shared the good news of the impending arrival in an Instagram post this week. 

Dami has been married to Noah Kim since 2012 and they welcomed their first child Harrison on May 12, 2022. 

The pair posed together with their young song in a sweet photo while sharing their joyous update. 

'So…. Harry is going to be a big brother mid next year,' Dami began her caption alongside the photo. 

'Noah and I can’t be more excited. Okay, now that’s done back to the normal programming…' she added.

Dami then revealed she was carrying on with her tour, writing, 'Next stop on my Christmas Songbook tour is in French’s Forest (Sydney), then Geelong and Melbourne are last! See you there. 

Her fans were delighted, with one writing, 'Congratulations. 2025 is going to be a great year for you'. 

Another follower said in the comments: 'Wonderful news. Congratulations to you all'.

Someone else chimed in with well wishes: 'Congrats Dami! So happy for you and your family!'

It comes after Dami opened up about the reality of juggling her successful music career with being a mother to a two-year-old son.

Dami said she feels being a mother is an 'added layer' to her identity and one that perfectly complements her singing career.

'I got married pretty early so I was always expected to grow up quickly and be a mum, and I still wanted to play around and work on my career,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle.

'So there was always this tension that I didn't even understand myself and where it was coming from.

'Once I'm a mum, am I meant to suddenly just become this old lady who just talks about their kids all the time? 

'No, but I'm quite enjoying it, much more than I thought I would,' she joked.

Dami revealed it was an exciting time for her as her new EP called In Between was released this year - her first new music since becoming a mother.

'It will be funny because people actually won't know any of the songs except the few that are already out because the tour starts on the release day,' she said. 

The South Korean-born star welcomed her son Harrison to the world in May, 2022, and last month revealed she sometimes 'grieves the loss' of her old life. 

The stunner shot to fame when she won the fifth season of the singing competition before representing Australia in the 2016 Eurovision. 

At the peak of her successful career, the songstress' life was upended by the birth of her son, whom she shares with husband Noah, reported The Courier Mail. 

'Looking back it was a really intense change of everything in my life. It was such a tough transition mentally, emotionally and physically,' Dami told the publication. 

She went on to say she feared her singing career would tank after the birth of Harrison, saying her audience may see her as 'just a mum now'. 

Ever the songwriter at heart, the Smile hitmaker channeled all her worries into her new EP called In Between, which was released on July 6.
