On the 29th (local time), Japanese newspaper FLASH published an interview with the father of Masahiro Higashide’s second wife, former actress Matsumoto Karin.
Previously, on August 27, Masahiro Higashide posted a video titled “Report” on his channel, announcing his second marriage to a former actress who is 11 years younger than him. The woman is pregnant and they are expecting a child early next year.
According to the report, in a telephone interview, when Matsumoto’s father, who has become Higashide’s new father-in-law, was asked about their marriage, he said: “Thank you.”
She recalled the first time she heard about Higashide’s marriage to her daughter. “My daughter said she was getting married when she came home for an event in Aichi in July,” she said. “Then I thought I should hear from him (who will marry her) and he came to see me on August 15. Then I talked to him for about two hours.”
Higashide is said to have stayed at Matsumoto’s main house that day. Matsumoto’s father, who spoke with Higashide that night, said that his first impression of Higashide was good.
He said, “I’ve heard him talk about his mentality and what’s going to happen. He seems very honest and he’s a clean-cut young man. In particular, he’s quite manly. He was very nice.”
He added, “Because a lot of things have happened in the past, he told me, ‘Now I can see the importance of family, the warmth and nobility of the child.'”
Matsumoto’s father sent a message of support to the two at the end of a telephone interview. He said, “My daughter has a new partner and a new baby. He’s already attractive as an actor, but I hope the opportunities (as an actor) will increase as we become a family.”
Meanwhile, Masahiro Higashide created a stir when it was discovered that he was in a relationship with actress Erika Karata in January 2021. The two began a relationship with the film Asako, the fact was that Erika Karata was a minor and Masahiro Higashide was a father of three children when they began the relationship.
In particular, actor Ahn, who was the wife of Masahiro Higashide, was said to have suffered from trauma from the wind, as she had had a difficult time due to her father’s extramarital affair as a child. When this fact was made public, it also attracted great criticism from the public.
