Song Joong-ki had a reason to remarry Katie

While Song Joong-ki's ideal type perfectly matched Katy's, Katy's appearance was also brought into the spotlight again.

Episode 118 of KBS2's 'Year-Round Plus', which aired on the 2nd, included the news of Song Joong-ki, who surprisingly announced his remarriage.

Song Joong-ki officially acknowledged his relationship with his British girlfriend through his agency on December 26 last year. He announced the news of his remarriage on January 30th by posting a statement on his official fan cafe saying, "I have pledged to spend the rest of my life with Katy Louise Saunders." At the same time, he added the surprising news of the second generation, saying, “A precious life has come between us.” At the time the statement was written, Song Joong-ki had already completed the marriage registration at the Jongno-gu Office and the British Embassy.

Song Joong-ki revealed the reason for marrying Katie, saying that she is a wise and wonderful person that he respects. This matched the ideal type mentioned in the interview at the end of the drama 'Descendants of the Sun'.

Katie was born to a British father and a Colombian mother, and is known to have spent her childhood traveling between the UK and Italy. In particular, he is known as a talented person who graduated from Bocconi University, the best university in Italy.

Also, Katie, who made her film debut in 2002, is currently on hiatus from acting, but while working as an actress in Italy and Hollywood, she also appeared in a coffee commercial with George Clooney.

The couple's newlywed home is known to be a 180 pyeong house in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan. Song Joong-ki, who purchased a single-family home located in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu in 2016 for 10 billion won, rebuilt it, and the current market price is estimated to be around 20 billion won.

Regarding the couple's birth, an entertainment industry official said, "They announced that they are having a 2-year-old child, but did not reveal when or how many months they were pregnant. It is unknown whether the baby will be born in August, but it is expected that the baby will be born within this year."
