Actress Takami Yoshimoto, 38, has remarried her first love, a 38-year-old performance artist, and will give birth to her first child next spring.
According to several sources, the two first dated in high school, and had rekindled their relationship in secret some time last year, deciding to marry after Yoshimoto found out she was pregnant. Susumu Kurobe, Yoshimoto's famous father who played Hayata -- the human version of Ultraman -- in the first series of the TV show, is reportedly looking forward to the birth of the first member of the "third generation of Ultraman."
According to sources, the two were married on New Year's Eve.

That's what I like: a happy story to start off the new year.
I wish them all a great 2010 with a safe and healthy newborn!

So if people get remarried, does that mean the soaring rate of divorce in Japan is declining???

"rekindled their relationship in secret" Can anyone imagine 2 Japanese doing things in any other way? Women here often go back to high school boyfriends when desperate to get pregnant before the dreaded 40th birthday. Either that or gaijin. Yes a nice happy story!

So when were these two lovebirds married the first time? After they divorced, who was Ms. Yoshimoto's second husband/second love? Mr. Yoshimoto? Inquisitive minds want to know! And who is this mysterious performance artist, the first-now-third husband/ first love? Or is my math all screwed up? I'm definitely very CONFUSED! This soap opera-like fairy tale might make a potentially watchable Movie-of-the-Week on Japanese TV!

Another article that could do with some editing to make it more clear.
She has remarried TO her first love, she remarried WITH her first love. Ms. Yoshimoto was married to an American man in 2001 but divorced about 4 years later. The divorce was never announced to the public.

Well, they weren't using the "beta capsule" correctly then..
