Actor Kim Dong-wook is finally becoming a father. After three years of marriage, his wife Stella Kim announced she is pregnant, and she is reportedly due to give birth early next year.
On the 24th, Studio Yuhoo told OSEN, "Kim Dong-wook and Stella Kim are expecting their first child," and "Stella Kim is due to give birth early next year," in an official statement. As a happy event that came in the second year of marriage, congratulations from fans are continuing.
Kim Dong-wook married Stella Kim, a global marketer and a former SM Entertainment trainee, at Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul in December 2023. At the time, interest grew when the background of his wife, who had been known only as a "talented beauty," was revealed later.
Stella Kim previously belonged to the debut lineup for Girls' Generation. At the wedding, celebratory messages continued from entertainment industry acquaintances such as Choi Soo-young, Jung Kyung-ho, Jeon Hye-bin, and Ki Eun-se, and it drew attention that top stars including Jung Woo-sung, Cha Tae-hyun, Yoo Hae-jin, Shin Ha-kyun, and Oh Jung-se attended in large numbers.
Kim Dong-wook has said about his wife, "Because she is a private person, I am cautious," drawing a line, yet he honestly explained the background to their scandal-free path to marriage, saying, "I don't date much and tend to stay home." He added, "I tend to move only within my living area, so I see only the people I see and go only to the places I go," revealing a cautious and sincere nature.
Kim Dong-wook, who said his wife's help was significant for his social media activity, showed a warm side by saying, "I don't have the confidence to handle SNS entirely on my own, so I listen a lot to the opinion of the person closest to me (my wife)."
When news of the pregnancy spread, celebratory comments poured in on online communities and social media. "Wow, Kim Dong-wook is finally going to be a father… Congratulations!" "He was a loving husband at the wedding, and now the family is truly complete." "Stella Kim is such a beautiful person… If the baby looks like both of them, what more can you say." "One of the celebrity couples living happily. This is joyful news." "Like his image, he will probably be really warm as a father." were the reactions.
The happy news, arriving three years after marriage, has prompted congratulations inside and outside the entertainment industry. Expectations are growing about what new image Kim Dong-wook will show as a "father actor".
