On the 29th (local time), the Japanese media outlet “FLASH” released an interview with the father of Masahiro Higashide’s remarriage partner, former actress Matsumoto Karin.
Earlier on August 27th, Masahiro Higashide posted a video titled “Report” on his channel, announcing his remarriage with 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 became Higashide’s new father-in-law, was asked about their marriage, he said, “Thank you.”
He recalled the first time he heard about Higashide’s wedding with his daughter. My daughter said she was getting married when she returned home for an event in Aichi in July,” he said. “Then I thought I should hear from him (who will marry her) and he came to visit me on August 15. Then I talked to him for about two hours.”
Higashide was said to have stayed at Matsumoto’s main house on that day. Matsumoto’s father, who talked to Higashide that night, shared that his first impression of Higashide was good.
He said, “I heard he talk about his mindset and what’s going to happen. He looks very honest, and is a clean-looking young man. In particular, he is quite manly. He was very likable.”
He added, “Because many things have happened in the past, he told me, ‘Now I can see the importance of family, warmth, and the 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 companion and a new child. He is already attractive as an actor, but I hope that the possibility will increase (as an actor) as we become a family.”
Meanwhile, Masahiro Higashide caused a stir when he was found to have an affair with actress Erika Karata in January 2021. The two developed an affair with the movie Asako, which was the fact that Erika Karata was a minor and Masahiro Higashide was the father of three when they started the affair.
In particular, actor Ahn, who was Masahiro Higashide’s wife, reportedly had a trauma about the wind as he had a hard time due to his father’s affair as a child. When this fact became known, he also drew great criticism from the public.
