Dami Im: Aussie singer-songwriter and Eurovision star gives birth to second child

Aussie singer Dami Im has welcomed the birth of her second child, declaring there’s “no song quite as beautiful as the first cry of your baby”.

Her second son with husband Noah Kim — whom she married in 2012 — the couple named their newest addition Rory Jiyul Kim.

“And then there were four ✨,” she said in an Instagram post, sharing three images of the newborn.

“Our second little boy, Rory Jiyul Kim has arrived earthside. There’s no song quite as beautiful as the first cry of your baby….💛

“Noah and I are so in love and in awe as we get to know our little angel and also watch Harry become a big brother 🥹 Thank you for sending us all your love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏”.

The candid photos depict a smiling Im cradling Rory with support from her young family.

Speaking to The Women’s Weekly, Im revealed that her youngest was born on the evening of Tuesday, June 3.

She said it was three-year-old Harry who inspired his sibling’s name, with one of his favourite books featuring a lion called Rory.

“When we were searching for names, we went through a bunch and none of them were sticking,” Im told the publication.

“And then my mum was like, ‘Oh, well why don’t you just call him Rory?’ I thought, ‘Oh, that’s such a cute name’. So I guess Harry picked it in a way.

“Rory looks very similar to Harry (at that age). So it feels like we’re back on a time machine and experiencing it again. But then we can see the differences as well, little features that I guess only parents might notice.”

Keen to keep the ball rolling on her music career, Im said she would be releasing new music in 2025.

However, not before some well-earned rest and recovery in the comfort of their baby bubble.

“I have travel booked for July sometime, but I’m trying not to, like, fill it up too quickly like I did last time,” she said.

“There’s travel and performances coming up and I’ll be releasing my single in September. I want to ease back into it gently, rather than be ‘I’ve got to get back’. I want to enjoy the moment.”

The 36-year-old became a household name in 2013, crowned winner of Australia’s The X Factor before representing Australia in 2016’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Her second place finish in the competition stands as the best result the nation has achieved since its first entry in 2014.

Members of Australian’s music community have sent their love to the star, including Anthony Callea who said, “Congratulations to you all 🥰Ax”.

Fellow Eurovision alum Silia Kapsis, a Sydney-born singer who represented Cyprus in 2024, also reached out to the performer.

“Yay congratulations Dami and family 💙💙💙💙”, she said.
