On January 14, he also received many congratulations after news broke that he had welcomed his second daughter. Through his YouTube channel, he shared that he would be taking a break from uploading videos for the time being due to childcare.

Jo Jung Suk tied the knot with singer Gummy in October 2018, and the couple were blessed with their first daughter in August 2020.
