On July 14, online rumors surfaced after a YouTube video claimed that actor Song Joong Ki was heading toward a second divorce. The video featured images of the actor and his wife accompanied by a news-style narration, leading some viewers to believe the claims were legitimate.
However, no major South Korean media outlets have reported on the alleged split, and neither Song Joong Ki nor his agency has issued a statement addressing the rumors. Consequently, fans and media alike have concluded that the video was simply spreading false information.
Fans were quick to point to the couple’s latest public appearance as definitive proof that their marriage remains strong.
On April 19, Song Joong Ki and Katy Louise Saunders co-hosted a classical music concert for people with disabilities at the Seoul Arts Center. According to the event organizers, the couple had personally expressed interest in participating through a mutual acquaintance. The event marked their first official public appearance together in three years.
During the concert, Katy served as the narrator while Song Joong Ki sat beside her, frequently looking at his wife with an affectionate smile. Their natural chemistry and seamless hosting style drew praise from both attendees and the Korean media. Behind the scenes, the couple was also seen chatting warmly with guests and posing for photos together, showing no signs of marital strain.
Their joint appearance quickly gained traction online, with many attendees praising their stunning visuals and warm interactions. Comments from netizens included:
- “Katy is incredibly beautiful.”
- “They look unreal together.”
- “Watching them host together felt like a scene straight out of a movie.”
Musical actress Kim So-hyun and broadcaster Jang Sung-kyu, who also attended the event, publicly complimented the couple after the performance. Song Joong Ki received praise for his remarkably youthful appearance, with many fans noting that the 41-year-old actor looks much younger than his age. Meanwhile, Katy Louise Saunders, 42, was widely admired for her elegant and radiant presence.
Song Joong Ki confirmed his relationship with Katy Louise Saunders in December 2022 and announced their marriage shortly after. The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in June 2023, followed by the birth of their daughter in November 2024. Since their marriage, Katy has largely stepped away from acting to focus on raising their family.
While neither Song Joong Ki nor his representatives have directly addressed the internet rumors, there remains zero credible evidence suggesting any trouble in their marriage.
