Actress Meisa Kuroki, 23, has officially announced that she is pregnant. The announcement was made on her blog on Sunday, several weeks after it was widely reported by media.
Kuroki, who was rumored to be pregnant when she married singer Akanishi Jin, 27, back in February, told fans, "I'm finally able to officially announce that I am four months pregnant." She went on to apologize for the delay in the announcement.
Both Kuroki and Akanishi publicly denied their relationship and failed to confirm widespread reports that Kuroki was pregnant at the time of their marriage.
“Right now, I feel mentally and physically well. I’m happy and grateful to have been blessed with a child,” she wrote.

I just hope that unlike most recent celebrity marriages, shotgun or not, it doesn't end in divorce after a year and a half, and I hope the couple and baby (to come) have a happy life together.

She's milking this for all it's worth.

Have a nice pregnancy and beautiful kids, Meisa.

Sometimes I think the Japanese lifestyle is nice....all things being arranged to fall into it's appropriate shoes...:) Get pregnant first to be sure you don't get stranded without a child after marriage. Then if you're a public figure, make the official statement that has been phrased out by the Employer or PR Agency.

Glad to see people chilling out over dekichatta kekkon. Its almost like we have left the 19th century for good yo!
As far as I am concerned, dekichatta kekkon islike test driving a car before you buy. If you want kids, but marry first, you may find yourself married to someone sterile, then what? Better to have someone raise an eyebrow over dekichatta kekkon than have them condemn you for divorcing someone for being sterile.
But I think most of you have the idea that they were careless and got married despite not actually wanting to. Well, I suppose that is the case among dumb, classless people more than others.
I don't know two things about Meisa. But I hope it all goes well for her.
wtfjapan
@nambypamby your logic is totally kaput, all women should go out and get knocked up before they get married just to be sure that there future spouse is not sterile, this is the 21st century not the 1800s. oops sorry forgot this in Japan.
NambyPamby
Who said all women? I very clearly said "If you want kids".
And no, if they discuss it and plan to base getting married on a pregnancy, I don't see the problem. I never said they had to run out and get knocked up at random, so sorry, its your presumptive logic that is kaput.
Did Meisa and her man discuss making a baby before marriage? I don't know, but people do you know. And its a good thing.
