Ben Reveals Divorce 6 Months After Childbirth: “I Loved My Husband, But Felt Deep Betrayal”

Singer Ben revealed on YouTube the reasons behind her divorce, which occurred just six months after giving birth.

Ben opened up, saying, “I feel like I’ve experienced all sorts of things. Because of that, my personality seems to have naturally changed as well. The divorce process was difficult, and ending it was naturally very hard. It wasn't just that I was breaking up with this person; there was also a child. I chose to divorce just six months after giving birth.”

She expressed her struggles, stating, “I say that I held onto that person for five years. Since it wasn't just a romantic relationship, I had to be very cautious. I tried enduring it, I tried getting angry, and I think I tried many different things. Then, a child was conceived. When things were so difficult, the baby was born, and I thought, ‘This child came to save me.’ I thought that no matter what happened, I would be happy now. But in that moment, an incident occurred. At that moment, the feeling of betrayal was too much to handle.”

She shared her decision-making process: “Even when we were breaking up, my mind was wavering. I thought, ‘Should we not break up?’ or ‘Is this really the right choice?’ But I looked ahead. I wondered if I would be okay three years from now when my daughter turns six, and I felt like I would probably be thinking the same thing then. So, I decided it was better to settle things quickly when it wasn't right.”

She broke into tears, saying, “I am not good at ending relationships. Especially when I love someone, I am the type of person who goes all-in. There were many incidents where the trust between this person (ex-husband) and me was broken, but beyond that, he was someone I loved so much, which is why it was so hard to break up.”

She continued, stating she has no regrets: “However, marriage cannot be lived solely on those feelings. So, I made a very big decision, and even now, I believe I made the right choice to divorce. For my child to live, I must be whole, I must be happy, and I must live my life.”

She also expressed her feelings toward her father: “Actually, my father was strongly against the divorce. He is from an older generation, so his way of thinking was different. He said everyone lives like that. I still feel sorry toward my father, but I had no choice because the path I must walk is still very long.”

She admitted to being conscious of public perception: “What I feared most was divorcing after saying, ‘I will go and have a safe delivery’ after becoming pregnant. I was scared, thinking, ‘How will people see me?’ or ‘What will they say?’ After all, I am in a profession where I am evaluated, and it is a job I chose. But even so, I couldn't help being afraid.”

She shared the difficulty of her decision: “I was so scared that my body was trembling. I had no regrets about my choice, but I was so terrified of what people would think. I worried it might look ridiculous to go to give birth and return as a single mom. Deciding to appear on YouTube was also difficult. But I felt it would be better if I was the one to explain it. The fact that I am a single mom doesn't change, and it's not like I did something wrong. I wanted to show that it was a necessary choice for me to live well.”

Ben married a businessman while in a public relationship in 2021 and gave birth to a daughter, but they divorced in 2024.
