Song Joong Ki cannot stop gushing about Song Hye Kyo: 'I am still dating my wife'

South Korean actor Song Joong Ki has admitted that he loves his wife Song Hye Kyo a lot. The 32-year-old actor expressed his feelings for his better half in the Esquire Korea September 2018 issue. 

The Descendants of the Sun couple got married in a private ceremony in October last year, among family and close friends. During the interview, Joong Ki talked about his thoughts on marriage. He said: "In the past, someone I know told me that being able to find a wife you can love forever is a gift of destiny. I believe that the greatest thing a man can do is to love his woman."

"Though some may place value in attaining fame and fortune, I believe the most beautiful thing in the world is being a man who can love his woman in an unchanging way." he added.

"We've gotten married, but that doesn't mean we've gone past the dating stage. I still feel like we're dating. And honestly, my wife is so pretty," he shared.

The couple shot to fame after starring in Descendants of the Sun. In the hit drama, Joong Ki played the lead role as Captain Yoo Shi Jin and Hye Kyo reprised the role of a doctor named Kang Mo-Yeon.

Rumours have surfaced that they have been dating since March 2016 after the couple were seen together in New York. However, Joong-ki and Hye Kyo's agencies had revealed that the couple were not together in real life at that time.

However, they revealed their relationship before their marriage, only because there were groundless rumours about them. Joong-Ki said, according to Soompi: "After thinking about it for a while, I told Song Hye Kyo that we should announce it. I feel apologetic about the spotlight being on me ahead of the [movie's] premiere, but marriage is an important matter. There were many groundless rumors about Song Hye Kyo and me, and we were upset about that. That's why we decided that we should reveal it. That day, both of our hearts were beating quickly."
