PUFFY's Yoshimura Yumi announces her divorce

PUFFY's Yoshimura Yumi announced through her fanclub site on 31 December that she is divorced from her second husband who is 5 years younger than her. The couple had registered their marriage on New Year's Eve in 2009. According to the statement, they had submitted their divorce application a few days ago but she did not go into details why they split up. Yoshimura also apologised for the fact that this turn of events would have disappointed many people who had given their support and blessings when they got married.

Yoshimura was previously married to T.M. Revolution's Nishikawa Takanori between April 1999 and July 2002 and later dated actor Omori Nao but the relationship also ended. She then met her second husband in September 2009 and they got married in December the same year. At the time of the marriage announcement, Yoshimura explained that they had been friends for already 7 years before they started dating. The couple's son was born in August 2012 and his custody is said to be held by Yoshimura who vowed to work hard as a single mother and shower lots of love on her son.

Meanwhile, due to the fact that PUFFY was invited to perform at an outdoor concert organised by Nishikawa in September this year, there was talk that Yoshimura and Nishikawa had gotten back together but he had denied the rumours.
