Yonekura Ryoko announces her divorce

Yonekura Ryoko has officially ended her marriage to her two-year-younger entrepreneur husband as announced via a fax statement on 30 December sent by her agency to the media. In the statement, Yonekura revealed that it had taken them some time to discuss the matter thus she was only able to make the announcement once the decision was finalised. She apologised for causing concern and worry over her private matter and pledged to continue improving and moving forward as an actress and woman before ending the statement by asking for everyone's continued support in future.

According to Yonekura's agency, there will be no further revelation about the details surrounding the divorce especially since her ex-husband is not a celebrity. Since they have an agreement not to talk about the divorce in public, there are no plans to hold a press conference regarding this.

Yonekura got married on 26 December 2014 after dating her ex-husband for one year but rumours of them heading towards divorce already surfaced about three and a half months later when she reportedly moved out of their matrimonial home.
