Song Hye Kyo, 43, Reveals Reasons for Divorce with Song Joong Ki: He Wanted to Be a Father Quickly, But Didn’t Provide Me with Security

Song Hye Kyo, 43, reveals reasons for divorce with Song Joong Ki: He wanted to be a father quickly, but didn’t provide me with security.

According to the 1905 film network, recently, Song Hye Kyo appeared on a talk show variety show after 23 years to promote a movie. In the program, Song Hye Kyo not only revealed the fun interactions with Song Joong Ki in private, but also talked about her failed marriage with Song Joong Ki for the first time.

In 2017, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki became husband and wife after starring in “Descendants of the Sun”, but this marriage only lasted for 2 years. In the show, Song Hye Kyo mentioned the reason for the divorce for the first time. She was originally against marriage, but bravely entered into it because of Song Joong Ki. The reason they ended in divorce was due to a disagreement over having children. Song Joong Ki did not provide Song Hye Kyo with enough security, so she wanted to wait until the relationship was stable to have children, while Song Joong Ki wanted to be a father quickly.

At the time, the divorce of the “Song-Song” couple caused controversy, with Song Hye Kyo being criticized for being arrogant and lacking acting skills. When asked by Liu Zaishi (host) how she spent those difficult times, Song Hye Kyo revealed that on the advice of screenwriter Lu Xijing, she started practicing gratitude every morning and night, and insisted on writing down ten things she was grateful for each day, a habit she has maintained for five years without stopping.

Song Hye Kyo admitted that the practice of gratitude diaries during this time taught her to love herself, prioritize her own feelings, and gradually changed her mindset. She began to embrace the philosophy of “letting things go naturally.” “I’ve been criticized too much, to be honest, it doesn’t matter now,” Song Hye Kyo said, even telling her agent that it would be faster for the agent to ask the rumor spreaders.

Public records show that Song Hye Kyo was born on November 22, 1981, and has appeared in films and TV series such as “Autumn in My Heart,” “Full House,” “Descendants of the Sun,” and “Encounter.”

On October 31, 2017, due to their appearance in “Descendants of the Sun”, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki held a wedding ceremony; in June 2019, Song Joong Ki proposed a divorce agreement to Song Hye Kyo; on July 22, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo officially divorced. After the divorce, Song Hye Kyo did not remarry. Her ex-husband Song Joong Ki announced his remarriage in January 2023, and they have a son and a daughter.
