The news of Yuzuru Hanyu’s sudden divorce has garnered much attention
After just three months of tying the knot, Yuzuru Hanyu and his wife have decided to call it quits, leaving fans and the public bewildered by their unexpected decision.
The news of Yuzuru Hanyu’s divorce has become a hot topic. While his wife has received sympathy, Yuzuru Hanyu has faced criticism from some netizens.
A Japanese media outlet disclosed that Yuzuru Hanyu’s wife had given birth in September, only two months before the divorce. This revelation fueled rumors that their marriage might have been a shotgun wedding due to premarital pregnancy, rather than genuine love.
On Weibo, Chinese netizens expressed their disapproval of Yuzuru Hanyu’s decision. Some called Yuzuru Hanyu out on his “ridiculous” and “laughable” reason for divorce claiming that he is cowardly and irresponsible for not protecting his wife and immediately resorting to divorce.
Some suspect a lack of commitment and genuine affection, suggesting that Yuzuru Hanyu treated the marriage as a fleeting affair, hence the secrecy of his wife’s identity.
The aftermath of the separation has led many to ponder the true reason behind Yuzuru Hanyu’s decision. It’s not simply a case of “letting go to protect and help his wife lead a peaceful, happy life.” Netizens speculate there may be other, perhaps more complex, reasons for the divorce, reasons that are not easily discussed.
Yuzuru Hanyu, born in 1994, boasts an impressive skating career with two Olympic championships under his belt. Despite his success, he has always maintained a low-key private life. Last August, he revealed his marriage but kept his wife’s identity under wraps.
The recent divorce announcement cites undue intrusion into his personal life by the media and the public as the primary reason for the split.
As the rumors swirl, one name has emerged as a possible spouse – Mayuko Suenobu, a 36-year-old professional violinist, and collaborator in one of Yuzuru Hanyu’s ice skating performances. However, neither party has officially confirmed the rumor.
