On January 23 episode of MBC's television show 'Miss Wife', Jung Yu-mi revealed her love story with Sam Hammington.
Jung Yu-mi said, "I met Sam in Itaewon in the '90s. On that day, I had gone to Itaewon with my friend, just to hang out. A cute foreign guy sat next to us, and I asked in my poor English, 'Where are you from?' He answered in Korean, 'Have a guess.' He was Sam, who had come to Korea as an exchange student. That's how it all began."
She continued, "There weren't as many Korean girls dating non-Korean guys at that time. It definitely wasn't that common. So, a lot of people would start a fight with Sam when we were walking on the streets together. They would say things like, 'Why are you dating a Korean girl, huh?' Sometimes, they would actually hit him hard. We went to the police station on a regular basis. It wasn't because he had done anything wrong. It just wasn't easy back then."
"I heard them laughing and counting the bills in the restroom. It made me furious. The police officer was like, 'Why did you give them the money? You didn't have to do that.' Sam felt bad that he couldn't say anything as well.", then sighed, "That incident gave me so much stress that I lost like 7kg after that day.", she added.
They have two sons―William and Bentley Hammington, who were born in July 2016 and November 2017.
