Song Joong-ki admits everything, but doesn't mention the Katie rumor

Actor Song Joong-ki (38) registered his marriage with British Katy Louise Saunders (39) and became a legally married couple, and the entertainment industry is shaking with the official announcement that they have a second child.

On the 30th, Song Joong-ki said through his official fan cafe, "I vowed to spend my future life with Katie Lewis Saunders, who has been by my side, supporting me, caring for each other, and spending precious time with me. Today, we are registering our marriage to start our life as a married couple." “It’s a road,” he said. He added, "Thankfully, we have found a precious life between us."

He officially acknowledged the rumors of marriage and pregnancy with Katie that had been raised for a while. Previously, Song Joong-ki did not acknowledge or deny various 'theories' other than that Katie was his lover. The agency also released a half-answered statement, saying, "It is difficult to confirm anything other than acknowledging a romantic relationship. We ask for your understanding."

Song Joong-ki opened his mouth only after registering his marriage. It's been 35 days since they acknowledged their relationship. According to a Dispatch report, Song Joong-ki lived with Katie, who came to Korea last spring, in his 20 billion won mansion in Itaewon, and after Katie became pregnant, he brought her parents to Korea to live with them. We were already in a common-law relationship, and I was pregnant, but I feel regretful about the somewhat late admission, perhaps because it was important to have a clear relationship on paper, or because my heart wasn't ready yet.

Because of Song Joong-ki's belated admission, there were numerous rumors and speculations about Katy. The most fatal thing among them was that Katie was a single mother with a daughter and a son. After Song Joong-ki's marriage and pregnancy announcement, some people recalled Katy's rumor and raised questions. Song Joong-ki introduced Katy as "she has a good heart and has lived her life passionately. She is a wise and wonderful person to the point of admiration," but did not reveal the truth of the rumor.

Song Joong-ki played the dual roles of Yoon Hyun-woo and Jin Do-jun in JTBC's 'Chaebol Family's Youngest Son', which ended on December 25 last year. ‘The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family’ soared to 26.9%, playing a significant role in the success of JTBC, which was suffering from a slump.

Song Joong-ki's next move is expected to be a movie. The movie 'Bogota' (directed by Kim Seong-je) was cranked up in October last year, and the movie 'Hwaran' (directed by Kim Chang-hoon) completed filming on the 12th and is scheduled to be released in 2023. Song Joong-ki will begin filming his next new film, playing the role of Ro Ki-wan, a North Korean defector, in the movie 'Ro Ki-wan' (directed by Kim Hee-jin).
