Actress Hikari Mitsushima Announces Motherhood Casually on Radio

Japanese actress Hikari Mitsushima has joyfully announced her new role as a mother, revealing the news in her characteristic understated style.

The 40-year-old star, who recently remarried model Keisuke Asano at the end of March, shared the personal update during a radio program hosted by her former bandmate, Daichi Miura. In a segment celebrating Miura's 39th birthday, Mitsushima casually dropped the news that she had given birth in early summer.

Actually, I gave birth in early summer.

Her unique way of sharing the happy news has resonated with fans, who praised her low-key and romantic approach. Miura himself has already met the baby and held the child, receiving a baby gift from Mitsushima that has become a cherished item. This personal announcement contrasts sharply with more formal celebrity pronouncements, adding a layer of warmth and authenticity to the revelation.

Mitsushima's journey to motherhood includes a previous marriage to film director Yuya Ishii in 2010, which ended in divorce in 2016. Her remarriage to Asano marked a new chapter, culminating in the birth of their first child.
