Sato Eriko announces her marriage and pregnancy through her blog

Sato Eriko announced through her blog on 31 Jan that she has tied the knot with her Brazillian boyfriend and is currently pregnant with their first child. Sato's husband is 12 years older than her and they were first reported to be dating in a February 2014 issue of "FRIDAY". The marriage application is expected to be filed soon and there are no plans for a wedding yet. Sato is due to give birth this summer.

According to Nikkansports, Sato's husband used to work for Ichikawa Ebizo who had also dated her between October 2006 and February 2007. At that time when the dating report was published last year, Ichikawa wrote on his blog about his ex-staff dating his ex-girlfriend with a photo of Sato's husband during a meeting they had.

In Sato's blog entry, she did not give any details of her husband but mentioned that she had been engaged to him for one and a half years. As for the timing of her announcement, it was said to be due to her inability to keep her excitement about being pregnant to herself and she wanted to share the happy news with everyone. As for her work, Sato said that her health will come first and her schedule will depend on her condition.
