'Descendants of the Sun' actor Song Joong Ki pens heartfelt note for newborn son

Song Joong Ki and his wife Katy Louise Saunders, have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy in Italy. The Korean star shared the news and also revealed a photo of his son. 

Earlier on, Song Joong Ki announced his marriage to Katy in January of this year. He had also revealed at the time that they were expecting their first child. 

Song Joong Ki's agency issued a statement on Wednesday saying, "Song Joong Ki became the father of a baby boy in Italy." Soon after, the actor took to his fan club and announced the good news in an emotional letter to his admirers. He also shared the first picture of his baby holding his finger.

"Hello, this is Joong Ki," Song Joong Ki wrote in his letter. "I'm curious how everyone is doing. As you are probably aware, I recently completed production for the film 'My Name Is Loh Kiwan' in Hungary, and I also had the honour of visiting the Cannes Film Festival for the film 'Hopeless.' All of the film festival moments still feel like a dream to me; that's how joyfully I've been spending my days," read his post. 

"I came here today to greet you because I have some news that feels like a dream, and I wanted to be the first to tell you. I'm currently in Italy," the actor added. 

"We happened to have our baby here, in my wife's hometown of Rome. It's a healthy son…both the baby and his mother are doing well. I am taking care of my family very gladly and gratefully, since we welcomed [our child] in good health and joy," he concluded.
