Model Choi So Ra has given birth to a daughter, seven years after getting married.

The announcement came quietly. On October 12, Choi posted a single photo to Instagram with no caption, as Koreaboo reports, citing Naver.

In the image, Choi takes a selfie while cradling her daughter, who is sound asleep in her arms. Choi looks down at her with a bright smile.

The birth follows one of the more talked-about runway moments of the year. In May, Choi walked the Chanel 2026 Haute Couture Collection show while pregnant, drawing headlines for the appearance.

The baby bump on the runway caught viewers off guard at the time. A representative on Choi's side confirmed the pregnancy on the 26th, making official what the show had already made visible.
