On June 13, Ai Fukuhara suddenly surged onto the Hot Search. The reason is that after 3 years, she appeared on Japanese TV variety again for the first time, and openly talked about her remarried life and her current husband—while also revealing that after being subjected to cyberbullying, she became afraid to go out, and her day-to-day life relies entirely on online shopping.

The male lead of this marriage is Mr. A from the 2021 Yokohama incident, 5 years younger than her. He is a former business trading company elite who graduated from Waseda University, and netizens mock him as “Yokohama Shohei Ohtani.”

Fukuhara Ai repeatedly clarified the timeline: after divorcing Jiang Hongjie at the end of 2021, she only began officially dating Mr. A—there was absolutely no cheating during the marriage.

She said that at first, the two had no plans to get married. It was only after the man’s family proactively suggested starting a family that she made up her mind to remarry. They registered quietly in summer 2025, announced their remarriage in December, and she was pregnant. This year, in April, she successfully gave birth to their third son.

After remarrying, she fell into a maelstrom of public opinion. Japanese netizens kept attacking her as “immoral,” and even after her ex-husband withdrew the lawsuit and she clarified things multiple times, the harsh criticism never stopped.

She admitted that long-term cyberbullying left her with a fear of going out. She buys all her daily necessities online. During her move, with no heating she could only warm herself in the sun—her life was both financially tight and stifling.

Unlike the tears of grievance she shed in her previous marriage, her current husband gives her a strong sense of security. The two can communicate honestly, and when she was at her lowest, he stood by her without leaving—he is her pillar of strength.

Ai Fukuhara’s interview this time is both a response to the controversy and a farewell to the past. By laying out the timeline and her current situation, she debunks the rumors and lets everyone see that this former table tennis sweetheart, after weathering storms, only wants to live a stable life while staying with her family.
