A month after Song Joong-ki confirmed he's in a relationship, the Korean actor and international star announced he just got married to Katy Louise Saunders, a British actress, and that they're starting a family together.
Joong-ki made the announcement through a letter sent to his official fancafe, o fan blog, which was quickly picked up by the Korean press and reported with English translation.
In his letter, the male lead of hit K-dramas Reborn Rich, Vincenzo, and Descendants of the Sun said he's sharing "a promise that is more happy and valuable to me than anything."
He added, "I have promised to continue life together with Katy Louise Saunders, who has been by my side supporting me and who I have spent valuable time with while cherishing each other."
Joong-ki, 37, went on describing Katy, 38, who spent time in Italy and starred in several Italian movies, this way: "She has a kind heart, and she has lived her life passionately. She is a sensible and amazing person to the point that I revere her. Thanks to her, I am becoming a better person."
He then talked about where their relationship is headed: "We naturally dreamed of creating a happy family together. We have put in much effort to keep each other’s promises, and we are sincerely thankful as a new life has come to us.
"And today, based on our deep trust and love for each other, we are on our way back from registering our marriage to begin life as a married couple. As we are now, the two of us will walk our days ahead beautifully while facing the same direction.
I sincerely thank all the fans who always cherish me no matter what."
He then mentioned his fan club in Korea called Ki Aile for providing "the greatest strength to me throughout my acting career." He promised he will "work to fly higher as an actor and individual with the wings of greater responsibility and passion. I hope everyone will be happy and healthy until the day I can greet you in person."
Joong-ki had been married to his Descendants of the Sun leading lady Song Hye-kyo in 2017 up until their divorce in 2019.
