Controversial actor Masahiro Higashide recently revealed that he is set to remarry, four years after his divorce with Anne Watanabe.
The 36-year-old actor shared the news in a recent YouTube video, where he revealed that he met his soon-to-be wife on set two years ago and that she fell in love with his new life and decided to move to the same place.
“The report saying we live together is not true. We live in different houses and only maintained a senior-junior relationship at first,” he said.
However, said Masahiro, the two of them gradually started falling in love.
“She is currently pregnant and the due date is next spring,” he added.
“Although I have made many mistakes and failures in my life, this is something worth celebrating. Although sometimes I still feel a little uneasy, it is precisely because I recognise my shortcomings that I hope to be able to cherish her and our children and build a happy life together,” he said.
Masahiro sparked controversy in 2020, after he was revealed to have an extramarital affair with actress Erika Karata since 2017, while wife Anne was pregnant with their third child. After losing several endorsement deals and finalising his divorce with his wife, the actor went to live in seclusion in the mountains while Anne took custody of their three kids.
