UPDATE: Weekly Bunshun is reporting that Goto Maki is having an affair, Goto Maki admits affair on her blog, denies divorce

Shunkan Bunshun is reporting that former Morning Musume and mother of two, Goto Maki (33) is cheating on her husband.

According to Weekly Bunshun, Goto who married a man (Mr. A, 30) in 2014, was seen with another man (Mr. B, 28) and because of the affair, Mr. A is seeking Y3.3 million compensation from Mr. B (In Japan, one can sue the other party responsible for breaking up a marriage).

The publication was able to obtain documents on the divorce trial which was signed by Goto.

According to the documents, both rode a taxi and headed to a hotel where Mr. B was staying and both had a physical relationship on the day of the 22nd and the day of the 23rd. The two started to contact each other via social media and Goto showed dissatisfaction towards her husband in a LINE exchange with Mr. B.

Mr. B claimed that Goto has received divorce papers because the marital relationship was broken and there will be no infringement of rights (a premise for compensation for damages).

The divorce trial is still ongoing.

Goto’s management confirmed there is a trial but will not comment.

UPDATE: Goto Maki has posted an update on her blog and has admitted to the affair.

On her blog, Goto posted a handwritten apology for the trouble and admits to a relationship with another man while married.

Goto wrote:

Last year, as reported in various weekly magazines, I had an affair with another man. I am very sorry.

I deeply hurt my husband by my immature and careless deeds and as a wife and as a mother, I was not aware of it and betrayed his trust in me.

I deeply reflect on my feelings of regret.

In addition, it is reported that I am receiving a divorce from my husband but at that time, the marital affair was too much and there was miscommunication with the other party and I am reflecting on that.

After many discussions with my husband, it has been some time and he has forgiven and accepted me.

I deeply feel the importance of my family and the seriousness of my mistakes.

From now on, we will help each other more than ever, nurture our children and family and we will both do our best privately.
