Song Joong-ki met British actress Katie Louise Saunders (39) through an introduction by an acquaintance while filming the drama "Vincenzo" in Italy in 2021, and they began dating.

After moving to Korea, they nurtured their love near Song Joong-ki's home and registered their marriage last January. At that time, Song revealed that Saunders was pregnant.

Five months after announcing their marriage registration, Song Joong-ki shared the news of the birth of their son. He posted on his online fan cafe the day before, saying, "I finally met the baby in my wife's hometown of Rome," and added, "A healthy son."

He said, "Both the baby and the mother are very healthy and happily doing well," and described the child as "the most precious gift that came to us, a couple whose greatest dream has always been to build a happy family."

In February, Song Joong-ki traveled abroad with his wife Saunders to film the Netflix original movie "Bogiwon." Last month, they attended the 76th Cannes Film Festival in the southern French city of Cannes as guests with the film "Hwalan." Afterwards, the couple moved to Rome, Italy, to prepare for the birth.
