‘Descendants of the Sun’ actor Song Joong-Ki and Katy Louise Saunders have tied the knot and are starting an exciting new chapter as a newlywed couple
What a way to start the week. Earlier today, Korean superstar Song Joong-ki took to his official fan page to announce his marriage to British actress, Katy Louise Saunders. He also announced that the couple are expecting their first child.
This announcement follows the confirmation of his relationship with Saunders back in December 2022. Saunders, a British actress born in London and based in Italy, has starred in films including The Borgia (2006), Third Person (2013) and The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003).
