At the close of 2022, Song Joong Ki left fans in awe when he publicly confirmed his relationship with former actress Katy Louise Saunders. Just a month later, he further astonished everyone by revealing their marriage and the impending arrival of their first child. While no new details about the wedding have surfaced, discussions have emerged online concerning the actor’s remarriage, as well as increased interest in his ex-wife, Song Hye Kyo, along with his commitments to both women.
Strikingly Similar Wedding Vows
During the much-anticipated “Wedding of the Century,”Song Joong Ki shared his heartfelt commitment to navigating life alongside Song Hye Kyo, stating: “I promise to take Song Hye Kyo as my wife. Our journey mirrors that of countless couples around the world. There will be storms, challenges, and moments where we may stumble. Yet, together, we will rise, hand in hand, sharing smiles as we reassure each other that ‘It’s not a big deal.’ We will learn to walk more confidently and courageously as time progresses.”
Additionally, Song Joong Ki emphasized his intention to spend a lifetime with Song Hye Kyo, highlighting her significance in his life. However, their union faced challenges, leading to their divorce just two years later amidst various controversies.
In his heartfelt letter announcing his marriage to Katy Louise Saunders, he expressed: “I wish to share a promise that holds more joy and value for me than anything else. I pledge to continue my life with Katy Louise Saunders, who has supported me through thick and thin and with whom I share cherished moments.”
Key Differences
While both weddings were grounded in a desire for lasting unions, the outcomes diverged significantly. The much-admired Song-Song couple ended their relationship in 2019, leaving fans and the public bewildered. In contrast, Song Joong Ki has since embraced happiness with Katy Louise Saunders, committing to marriage while Song Hye Kyo continues to focus on her singles life and career.
Furthermore, Song Joong Ki’s descriptions of his partners have garnered significant attention. When marrying Song Hye Kyo, he eloquently referred to her as a “beautiful” and “profound” individual, expressing his admiration for her many virtues and the wisdom he gained from her. It clearly reflected the depth of his affection for his then-wife.
Conversely, in praising Katy, he described her simply as “a sensible person.” Song Joong Ki previously mentioned, “My ideal woman is someone who possesses sense.” This signifies that Katy embodies his dream partner, a sentiment he openly shares.
Recently, Song Joong Ki’s management agency informed Osen that “Katy is pregnant with their second child,” and they have chosen to keep the due date and gender private out of respect for the artist’s personal life. The couple welcomed their first son in June of last year.
News of Song Joong Ki welcoming children in back-to-back years has surprised many fans, reigniting discussions about Song Hye Kyo across social media platforms.
There are speculations suggesting that the end of Song Joong Ki’s previous marriage may have stemmed from differing opinions on starting a family. One fan noted, “It seems that Song Joong Ki desires a larger family, which might explain his separation from his ex-wife as she was concentrating on her career and not ready for children.”
When celebrating the birth of his first son, Song Joong Ki penned an emotional note, referring to his child as “the greatest dream of my life.”
Previously, discussions surrounding “The not-so-happy ending of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki” emerged as a trending topic on Weibo.
