Song Joong-ki revealed his daily life with Katy through a video on Choi Hwa-jung’s YouTube channel on the 26th.
While helping Choi Hwa-jeong cook, he said, “I’m not at the level of being called ‘cooking’. I just help my wife when she’s doing it.”
Song Joong-ki then had a meal with Choi Hwa-jeong and said, “(My wife) is good at cooking and is similar to my older sister. She also likes plating.” He continued, “(Thanks to my wife), I was so obsessed with Italian food that I felt empty if I didn’t pour olive oil on anything, so we pick (the oil) from the olive trees at home, extract it, and eat it. We feel proud and happy when we make our own.”
He said, “In Korea, I live in Itaewon, and when I’m in Italy, I live in the Tuscan countryside outside of Rome. My wife lives in Italy all her life, so when I’m not filming, I stay there with her.” He added, “I’m also learning Italian. My baby is slowly speaking Italian, but I can’t.” There are times, I feel pressured so I’m studying a bit. On the other hand, my wife is learning Korean. Her language skills are really good, she learns quickly, she even tells my mom, ‘Mom, eat your food’, it’s not perfect, but it’s cute, belatedly. “I’ll add ‘yo’,” he said with a laugh.
Also, “I’m Korean, and my wife values manners and character more than I do, so I often get scolded. For example, the manager came because he had something to give me, but it took about 20 minutes (to take care of business). After the manager left, “He said, ‘What are you, making people wait like this?’ I think he’s good at reminding people of basic things.”
Choi Hwa-jeong said, “Song Joong-ki’s personality is that of a ‘real man’ who gets along well with people and speaks up on behalf of the weak, and he seems to be a good match for my wife.” Song Joong-ki laughed, saying, “If there is anything more unreasonable than that, I come forward because I am the main character, so the management representative has a hard time.” He added, “(My wife) criticizes me a lot and helps me a lot, but I think she is just bragging too much.”
Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki and Katie Lewis Saunders met through an acquaintance in 2021 and became lovers. Song Joong-ki announced the news of his relationship in December 2022, and announced his marriage and pregnancy with Katie Louise Saunders the following year. Afterwards, they gave birth to their first child, a son, in June of last year, and their second child, a daughter, in November of this year, making them parents of two children.
