Former AKB48 member Shinoda Mariko has been receiving praise as a mommy blogger and winning the “13th Best Mother Award 2021 – Entertainment Division”.

But Shinoda has been a hot topic since mid-August that her husband had suspected Shinoda had been cheating on him and left home with their daughter and that the two are already separated.

Shinoda’s management completed all reports that she cheated on her husband. As for the separation and divorce, there have been no comments on the various media speculation.

Shinoda said she would be making an announcement on Instagram at 8:00 p.m., but the announcement was not about her marriage but the brand name of the body soap that she is working on.

Shinoda graduated from AKB48 in 2013.  In 2019, she married a man who was three years younger than her and dating for a short time.
