However, in January 2020, it was revealed that Masada Toide had an extramarital affair with the then underage actress Mika Tang Tian as early as 2017.
Married for 5 years and cheated for 3 years......
In the end, Xing decisively divorced Masada Toide on July 31, 2020 and got custody of 3 children.

At the end of May 2021, almost a year after the divorce,
Some media exposed that Toide Masada has not given child support to 3 children.
At that time, the two had not yet reached an agreement on child support.
The amount of child support proposed by Toide Masada is 10,000 yen (about 500 yuan) per month for 1 child, and 30,000 yen (about 1,500 yuan) per month for 3 children.
Xing also knew that Toide Masada had lost a lot of job opportunities due to derailment, and his income had been greatly reduced, but he was still speechless about it.
It's not because Xing dislikes the lack of money, but because he can't feel his sincerity as a father.

Later, Toide Masada gradually resumed work, and it was revealed that he had a new relationship, dating a mixed-race American-Japanese girl in her twenties.
Xing chose to move to Paris, France with her three children in August 2022, in order to give her children a better living environment.
According to people familiar with the matter:
"If it were in Japan, Masada Higashiide would be exposed to a new relationship, and the children might be laughed at by their classmates at school.
When Apricot was a child, she experienced a long divorce judgment between Ken Watanabe and her mother. She wants to leave Japan so that her children can grow up in a relaxed and quiet environment. ”
On weekdays, Xing will share her daily life in France on her YouTube channel when she has free time.

December 31 is the Chinese New Year's Eve in Japan, and soba noodles are eaten on this day.
A few days ago, Apricot made soba noodles with Japanese and French buckwheat flour, and compared the differences in taste.
If Apricot still lives in Paris with her children this year, she will be able to experience the Olympic atmosphere in the local area again after the Tokyo Olympics.

Although Apricot always shows her positive life and happy parenting side,
But you can imagine how difficult it is to take care of 3 children as a single mother.
And on the other hand, after the New Year,
Japan's Fuji TV broadcast a program on January 9, showing the recent situation of 35-year-old Masada Toide:
He actually lived in seclusion in the mountains with 3 young actresses and lived a "semi-self-sufficient" life!

Toide Masada has a hunting license and can hunt all year round.
He didn't feel comfortable in Tokyo, so in 2022 he began to experience a new life in the mountains and forests of the Kanto region.
Higashiide lived in a mountain hut with no gas or running water.
He fetches water from the mountains, chops wood for cooking, and hunts and picks wild vegetables and sometimes insects.

Earlier, there was no bathroom in the hut where Toide lived in the house, so he would go to the nearby hot spring almost every day to take a bath.
The old man in the mountains didn't know that Toide Masada was an actor, and he quickly integrated into local life.
During April ~ December 2022, Toide Masada hunted a total of 31 animals, including deer.
He usually goes out hunting when he has no meat. Sometimes the nearby farmer will also give him some prey.
He skinned and dismembered his prey, kept it in the refrigerator, or took it to a meat processing plant to make sausages.
When a reporter came to interview, the Dongidechang Conference lit a fire and cooked rice warmly.

However, Toide Masada is not a complete retreat to the mountains and forests.
When he has acting work, he will go down the mountain and show up. If it's just a meeting or something, he's going to do it online.
Many Japanese netizens questioned that Masashi Toide was too pretended to be too much, and he got a new character for himself to live in the mountains.
Even the children's child support is picked and searched, but he only cares about his own happiness in the mountains.

On December 17 last year, the reporter came to the mountain hut again to interview Masada Toide.
On this day, Masada Higashiide was about to make jerky, so he went to a nearby river.
(Toide Masadai)
There were three women standing by the creek.
It turned out that Toide Masada and they had been living together in the mountains for half a year.
Several people carried the deer carcass in the river back to the mountain hut.
Three women skillfully assisted Toide Masada in skinning and dismembering the deer to make jerky.

They are all young actresses in their 20s who met Masada Toide through filming.
When they came to the mountains from Tokyo before, they thought that life here was quite good, so they moved to the mountains in June 2023 and lived with Toide Masadai.

When the reporter asked what kind of relationship they had with Masada Toide,
One of the women said that whether as an actor or a hunter, Masada Toide was their senior.
On weekdays, they talk about some topics related to life and acting.
(Girl interviewed)
A man and three women live together in the mountains, aren't they afraid that this will cause a new storm when it spreads?
In this regard, Masada Higashiide said that it didn't matter:
"Well, whatever anyone else says. ”
"Usually there are male actors to play, actresses to play, and friends outside the entertainment industry to play.
We just like each other for the sake of each other, so we get together, what's wrong?
If I'm afraid of scandal at every turn, I would like to ask, why can't I live like a human being?
If the times demand bleaching and self-respect in everything, I don't think the world will be easy to do.
We're living a human life here, what's not to like?"
(Toide Masada said it didn't matter)
The reporter was still worried and said: "After the show is broadcast, it may cause an uproar on the Internet." ”
Toide Masashi replied freely: "Let them make trouble!", which caused the girls to laugh.
Toide Masada also joked to the girls:
"But you still have future children, is it okay? Please put a mosaic on the program team!"
As a result, the girls were amused by his words again.
(Masada Higashiide joked that he wanted to play mosaic)
Toide Masada and the girls made jerky together, cooked on a fire, and cooked wild boar for the reporter to taste.
On December 30 last year, Masada Toide and his girls held a year-end party to drink happily and sing karaoke.

On the evening of the 31st, when it was New Year's Eve, they counted down together to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

When recalling the situation after the cheating divorce,
Toide said that he had lost all his job at the time, and that ten years of hard work had come to naught, and that he was desperate about it.

But now that he's back to work,
Looking at the schedule for October 2023, he only has three days to spare.
In short, Toide Masada is enjoying his current life very much and feels very fulfilling.

On one side, Apricot is taking care of 3 children alone in a foreign country,
On the other side, Masada Higashiide lives with 3 girls in the mountains of Japan.
After the show was broadcast, netizens expressed their puzzlement:
Don't forget to pay compensation to your ex-wife and child support.
This has nothing to do with the fact that ex-wives make more money, which is the responsibility of an ex-husband as a father.
"Is this polygamy?"
"It's more about getting people's attention through scandals. ”
In this world, sometimes the more irresponsible people are, the more comfortable they are.
People like Toide Masada really know this very well......
