Did Maeda Atsuko and Katsuji Ryo separate?

News Post Seven is reporting that former AKB48 member and actress Maeda Atsuko (28) and her husband Katsuji Ryo (33) are living separately.

It’s important to note that both Maeda and Katsuji have not come out that they have separated at this time and whether the following article is fact.

Maeda was seen at a supermarket in Tokyo and according to one source, she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.

Katsuji who is busy shooting the NTV drama “Hakken no Hinkaku”, which was originally suspended due to novel coronavirus, went home but didn’t go to the home where Maeda Atsuko lives, instead, he went to another condo 20 minutes away.

On the night that Maeda was grocery shopping, Katsuji was purchasing items at a convenience store and went back to a different home.  Also missing on his left hand was his wedding ring.

Maeda and Katsuji were married in the summer of 2018 after dating for four months.  The two welcomed a baby boy back in March and the newlyweds who appeared to be happy, are now apparently living separately from each other.

The rest of the article goes into rumored speculation from sources.

The article goes into Maeda’s prone to having panic attacks and having emotional ups and downs (which was well-documented during her AKB48 years) and that when she gets angry, she is unable to calm herself and can be very angry towards Katsuji.

Another is that Katsuji likes to drink with friends at the bar, he comes home late but Maeda, when she was pregnant at the time, was irritated by her husband who was drinking alcohol.

The article goes into how Maeda and Katsuji decided to live in the same condo area where her parents live in order for her parents to help raise their child.  When the child turned one, they moved out in wanting to raise their child.

With one “source” saying, “For the past year or so, both haven’t had a good relationship.  After giving birth, Acchan is taking care of the child, Katsuji cooperates with the childcare but from Acchan’s perspective, it wasn’t enough and she would be vocal and angry towards him”.

The publication tried to get a comment from Katsuji’s mother about the separation and his mother said, “I will not comment on anything”.

When both offices for each individual were asked, they said he was living at another location primarily for work.
