Song Joongki is Officially Divorcing Song Hye-kyo After Months of Rumours

This might come as a surprise to you if you’ve not been keeping tabs on all the sensationalised news about the couple.

But if you’ve been a busybody like me, or a fan of Song Joongki and Song Hye-kyo even after their popularity has faded off after Descendants of the Sun, then this probably is something that’s expected.

The beautiful couple met in 2015 during the set of Descendants of the Sun, and kept their relationship private until 5 July 2017, when they suddenly announced publicly that they were engaged.

They continued to keep their relationship private, getting married in a private ceremony in October the same year and refusing to take any sponsors (not that they need them, anyways).

Since then, no one knew much about their marriage until February this year.

Wedding Rings Disappeared from Song Hye-kyo

In February 2019, reporters spotted that Song Hye-kyo wasn’t wearing her wedding ring; that sparked rumours that the couple was separated, but fans shot down the reports, claiming that that couldn’t prove that they were divorced.

More reports then surfaced in April this year, when another set of images taken by paparazzi showed Song Hye-kyo without her ring.

As usual, fans were fuming, claiming that those reports were fake news.

However, in public events, Song Joongki was spotted wearing his ring.

In fact, we were all led to believe that those rumours were mere…rumours for more clicks. In an interview about his marriage a month ago, Song Joongki said, “Nothing changed too drastically, but I do feel like I’ve become more emotionally stable as a result. I feel like all married people would understand this feeling.”

Then came today.

It’s Official: The Perfect Couple is Getting Divorced

In a move that no one saw it coming, Song Joongki’s lawyer, Park Jae Hyun, suddenly confirmed a news that would break many fans’ heart.

It’s official: Song Joongki has begun to file for divorce from Song Hye-kyo.

So far, Song Hye-kyo hasn’t responded to this.

This is Song Joongki’s statement through his lawyer:

Hello, this is Song Joong Ki

First of all, I apologize for bringing bad news to everyone who loves and cares about me.

I have arranged for my divorce with Song Hye Kyo.

We both hope to settle the divorce process in a smooth manner, rather than attack and blame each other.

Please understand that it is difficult to reveal the stories about our personal lives.

From now on, I will try my best as an actor to repay everyone with good works. Thank you.

I don’t know about you, but I’m certain we’re not going to see them in Descendants of the Sun 2.
