A netizen would then debunk the rumors stating that there weren’t any articles written about Katy’s alleged pregnancy, which is virtually impossible if she had indeed been pregnant or had given birth.
Even in Italy, which is famous for its paparazzi, there are no articles saying Katy Louise Saunders had been pregnant or had given birth. The picture that makes it seem like she is pregnant was taken in 2012 when she was dating Italian heir Giovanni Tronchetti Provera. If she had indeed been pregnant or had given birth, there is no way there isn’t an article about it.

The netizen then uploaded several photos of Katy Louise Saunders and a pregnant friend, giving credence to news reports stating that the child in the photo was the child of Katy’s friend.
Now finally, according to a news report, Song Joong Ki’s acquaintance reportedly spoke out to defend the couple from the rumors.
On January 31, Ilyo Shinmun released an article in which Song Joong Ki’s acquaintance denied the rumors.
Song Joong Ki firmly denied the (rumors). Katy is a well-known actress in Italy, so it is impossible that they wouldn’t have reported her pregnancy. At the time (the picture) was taken, she was dating a well-known Italian man. If at the time Katy was pregnant, it would have been big news, but there aren’t any reports (about a pregnancy).

According to Ilyo Shinmun, there were, in fact, no articles mentioning any pregnancy. The news outlet revealed that the biggest article surrounding Katy Louise Saunders was one involving a home burglary while Katy Louise Saunders was away. The news of the burglary was reportedly picked up by many major news outlets across Europe, proving that if Katy Louise Saunders had been pregnant, it would most likely have been reported.
The actor’s acquaintance then revealed that the child in the picture was, in fact, the niece of Katy Louise Saunders.
When I asked Song Joong Ki, he told me it was Katy’s niece. Song Joong Ki isn’t the type to respond to every one of these rumors, but I feel that baseless rumors surrounding (the couple’s) private lives need to stop.
