Song Joong Ki, for the first time after the wedding announcement sat down for a new interview and talked about his wife Katy Louise Saunders. Katy is currently pregnant with their first child together. During the interview, Song Joong Ki also addressed the rumours and speculations surrounding his wife’s background.
Speculations about Katy being a single mother emerged prior to their wedding, causing Song Joong Ki to feel angry and frustrated. However, Katy’s wisdom and positive attitude helped him change his perspective on the situation.
“At first, I was fine. It was an everyday occurrence for us, and even if many people know about it, our love wouldn’t change. But then, when the nonsensical stories kept growing, I got angry honestly,” said Song Joong Ki in the interview with GQ Korea.
“Except for the name of the university that she attended (Milan Bocconi University), none of the rumours were true. When my anger was growing, Katy told me, ‘You don’t have to be angry with these people.’ I can’t say much about it here, but she is that kind of a person. She guides me toward a positive direction and balances me out.”
