  • Song Joong Ki Can’t Stop Gushing About His Wife Katie: "She Scolds Me, But I’m Crazy in Love"

    Actor Song Joong Ki showed just how much he adores his wife, Katie Louise Saunders, and their family during a recent appearance.

    On December 26, Song Joong Ki joined Choi Hwa Jung’s YouTube channel to promote his film Bogotá: The Land of Last Chances. But while discussing his projects, he couldn’t help but share stories about his life as a husband and dad.

    Song Joong Ki married Katie, a British actress, in January last year. The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in June 2023 and recently became parents to a daughter in November 2024.

    “My wife and kids are in the countryside near Tuscany, Italy,” he revealed. “We live on the outskirts of Rome, and we even have an olive tree in our yard. We pick olives and make our own olive oil. Since meeting Katie, I’ve fallen in love with Italian food. I can’t eat meals without olive oil now,” he said with a laugh.

    The actor also shared how Katie has been learning Korean and already impresses his family. “She’s amazing with languages. She says things like, ‘Mother, let’s eat’ to my mom. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s so adorable,” he said, beaming with pride.

    Song Joong Ki didn’t hold back on praising Katie’s personality. “She values manners and character even more than I do, which is impressive. She scolded me once when I was 20 minutes late to a meeting, saying, ‘Who do you think you are to keep someone waiting?’ She always reminds me of the basics. It’s humbling, and honestly, I love it. I sound like such a smitten husband, don’t I?” he joked, laughing.

    He also opened up about his children, sharing a heartfelt moment with his son. “My son is now 18 months old. During filming, I didn’t see him for five months. When we reunited, he took a moment to recognize me. But once he hugged me, I couldn’t stop crying,” he admitted emotionally.

    Wrapping up, Song Joong Ki said, “I feel incredibly lucky, and it’s all thanks to my wife. She often tells me, ‘You’ve got it all,’ but I think I’m the lucky one.”

    With his sweet words and glowing smile, Song Joong Ki proved once again why he’s a true family man. Fans can’t get enough of his heartfelt stories!
