▲ 15 years of marriage came to an end
Actress Ryoko Shinohara (47) and actress Masamune Ichimura (72) suddenly announced their divorce today. The duo's joint statement spelled out their unique grounds for divorce. They married in 2005 due to a stage collaboration. The eldest son was born in 2008 and another son was added in 2012. A few years ago, the news reported that the couple sent their children to school together, and the love of the two that made people forget the age difference also attracted a lot of attention.
However, in August last year, "Women Themselves" reported that Shinohara had moved out and began to separate. At that time, Shinohara explained that because of the filming work, he would contact many people and was afraid of infecting his family with the new crown. However, in June this year, "Women Themselves" once again began with the theme of "Ryoko Shinohara is still separated!" It has been 1 year since the 'temporary' denial of discord" was reported on the matter, and for a while many people thought that there were some problems between their husband and wife.
The divorced couple issued a statement. The following is the full text of the statement.
＊ ＊ ＊
It has been 15 years since the two of us married, and the child is also very well-behaved, witnessing the growth of the child along the way, which makes us feel that life is fortunate but so. In the past 15 years, our family of four has lived a happy and fulfilling life together.
In addition, as actors, we have always respected each other's careers and supported each other along the way.
Although Ryoko's acting career was suspended for a period of time due to childbirth, with the support of everyone, while raising her children, she began to work again, slowly increasing her workload, and her career was thriving.
Among them, due to the epidemic last year, in order to prevent family infections due to filming work, they adopted the method of separation in order to continue the work of actors.
However, due to the prolongation of separation due to the successive works, we as husband and wife, parents, and actors began to think about the new form of this relationship.
Ryoko and I, as father and mother, are naturally connected by our beloved children.
And as her peer, I can understand her situation very well, and as a fan of actress Ryoko Shinohara, I also look forward to a longer development of her acting career, and I also hope that she can live a good life as a mother.
The encounter with Ryoko was the happiest thing in my life.
Because she allowed me to meet my beloved child filled my heart with gratitude.
Therefore, at the strong request of my predecessor in life, the ultimate custody belongs to me.
In the future, we will guard our children together as actors, as parents, and as partners in a new form.
In the future, I would like to ask you to continue to support Ryoko Shinohara and me.
The city village is relatives
For the stage actor Mr. Ichimura, I learned a lot from him before and after I got married, and my heart was full of respect for him.
This respect will not change in the slightest, whether it is now or in the future.
He has always cared for me, guided me immature, and is a person I cherish in my heart.
Thanks to Mr. Ichimura, I have grown up to be where I am today, for which I am deeply grateful.
The current situation may be difficult for everyone to understand, but this is the conclusion of our dialogue in order to build a new form and a new environment.
Mr. Ichimura hopes that the children can grow up watching their father's back, and I also hope that the children will grow up like a strong father, and the custody of the custody is the decision made after communicating with the child under this same intention.
In the future, I will work harder than ever to engage with my children as a mother and support them more diligently.
Finally, we apologize to the people who have been supporting our various activities and for the warmth that has guarded our family, and we would like to continue to support Masato Ichimura and Ryoko Shinohara in the future, and please pay more attention.
Ryoko Shinohara
