empty line in table cell in reStructuedText (rst)

I would like to have an empty line in the cell of a table in reStructuredText. Consider the following example:
```
.. list-table::
  :header-rows: 1
  
  * - aaa
    - bbb
  * - ccc
    - ddd

      eee
```
Which produces this table:
![original rst table](https://software.codidact.com/uploads/rq3jiz65mrh39gm9pqss2r7ouhsr)

But I would like there to be an empty line between "ddd" and "eee" in the lower-right cell of the table. So it should look something like this:

![new rst table](https://software.codidact.com/uploads/u0jzw8bz4iv0lma893wt6vak2uc4)
How do I achieve this?
