TOKYO – Actress Anne Watanabe, the daughter of Hollywood star Ken Watanabe, has divorced her actor husband Masahiro Higashide after he was found to be having an affair.
One of the most famous celebrity couples in Japan, Watanabe, 34, and Higashide, 32, had been married for five years and have three children. They announced their split on Saturday (Aug 1) and promised to work together to take care of the children.
Watanabe, who is also a model and goes by the sole name of Anne, separated from Higashide early this year after he was found to be having an affair with actress Erika Karata.
News of the affair broke in January and both Higashide and Karata, 22, made separate apologies for it.
The news was highly controversial as the two had reportedly began the affair in 2017 during filming for the movie Asako I & II (2018).
Karata, best known for her role in South Korean drama Arthdal Chronicles (2019), was only 19 then and Anne was pregnant at the time with the couple’s son, who was born in November 2017. The couple have a pair of twin daughters born in 2016.
