Actor Kim Dong-wook Expecting First Child After Two Years of Marriage

Actor Kim Dong-wook is set to become a father early next year, two years after his marriage.

On the afternoon of the 24th, a representative from Kim Dong-wook's agency, Studio Ohoo, officially confirmed to OSEN, "Kim Dong-wook and his wife Stella have had their first child after marriage. His wife, Stella Kim, is expected to give birth in early next year."

Kim Dong-wook tied the knot in December 2023 at Myeongdong Cathedral in Jung-gu, Seoul, with Stella Kim, a global marketer and former SM Entertainment trainee. At the time of the marriage announcement, she was only introduced as a "talented woman with beauty," but her background later garnered significant attention upon its revelation.

Stella Kim is known to have been part of the pre-debut lineup for the girl group Girls' Generation. In solidarity, Girls' Generation member Choi Soo-young attended the wedding and shared a photo with Stella Kim on her social media, writing, "You were more beautiful than I imagined. May all the blessings head your way today. Congratulations."

Furthermore, Stella Kim's social media showcased her connections with various celebrities, including actor Jung Kyung-ho (Choi Soo-young's boyfriend), former singer-turned-actress Jeon Hye-bin, and actress Ki Eun-se. Her wedding also saw a large turnout of stars such as actors Jung Woo-sung, Cha Tae-hyun, Yoo Hae-jin, Shin Ha-kyun, and Oh Jung-se, celebrating the couple's joyous occasion.

Meanwhile, Kim Dong-wook is preparing for the release of his upcoming film 'The People Upstairs,' scheduled for December 3rd.

Netizens flooded congratulatory messages, saying, "Congratulations to actor Kim Dong-wook on becoming a father!", "Stella Kim is so beautiful, I bet the baby will be too!", and "Wishing the couple a happy family life!"
