Actress Han Ga-in, who is married to actor Yeon Jung-hoon, has been pregnant for nearly five months, according to a press release from Han’s agency, BH Entertainment, Monday.

"Han and Yeon will become parents next year. Han has been very cautious about everything since her pregnancy. She even tries to refrain from going outside,” said a person familiar with the matter.

The couple tied the knot in 2005 but did not have their first child until recently. Last year, Han made headlines after getting pregnant, but had a natural miscarriage.

Their relationship turned romantic after they starred on KBS drama “Yellow Handkerchief” in 2003, and they are well known as lovebirds in the entertainment industry.

Han is set to give birth early next year.
