Supermodel Ai Tominaga announces divorce from patissier husband

Tuesday 21st April, 02:20 PM JST

TOKYO —

Supermodel Ai Tominaga, 26, announced on her blog on Monday that she had filed divorce papers earlier in the day at her city office, ending her five-year marriage to her Paris-based patissier husband.

Tominaga wrote that the pair had decided it would be better for both of them if they continued on separate paths. She wrote: “As with any couple, we’ve been through a lot. We have a precious child, and we pledged to stay together forever, so this was not an easy decision to make.”

Tabloid magazine Flash reported on a possible divorce in their March 3 issue, in which they said she was made to get down on her hands and knees and apologize to her husband in front of many people. Tominaga touched on that again on Monday, saying: “It didn’t happen the way they reported it, and as we were in the middle of working out our future, I just denied it.”

Tominaga will retain custody of their 4-year-old son and said she plans to continue her modeling career. “I’ve got my concerns about just the two of us moving forward, but I’ll do it my way and stay positive,” she said.

Divorce aside, how the hell did this lady ever become a supermodel? Or is this just a bad picture of her?

A characterless face is easily forgotten. "I don't remember those others we interviewed, but I sure remember the guy with three noses! Man, he has a nose for good deals. Let's hire him!" Every year a new face hits the ads we see in every train, magazine, etc. Gotta have character to be a character.

i still feel they should give monthly relationship counselling to couples, regardless of whether they can be fine without.

there is still need for an objective third party, who is regulated by government to be impartial and not take sides.

IMHO in addition to social workers, Buddhist priests could perform this function and get a supplement from the government.

IMHO I also believe that gossip rags should be licensed, and their papers to have disclaimers which state clearly, "This is a rumor which we are gossipping about".

Gossip-mongers should be taxed harshly

Only truth should remain free, and unpublished.

A little dogaiza would not hurt anyone. She has got the money to divorce. Some of us unfortunately do not.

Maybe she was getting fat on the pastries and needed some time away.

She is a super model?? I have seen better looking golden retrievers walking the streets!!!

I didn´t understand the ¨supermodel¨ title. I doubt she has posed for important magazines, outside Tokyo.

Please stop making bad comments about her. I think she is a goddess! I get the feeling the husband must have done something really stupid for her to divorce him.

Well golden retrievers certainly are impressive among dogs. In fact, perhaps that's her claim to fame - "impressive among dogs". You always look more beautiful when surrounded sufficiently less attractive women.

About the divorce, there really isn't any hard information about the circumstances so that's that.

You always look more beautiful when surrounded sufficiently less attractive women.

And its collorary: A Japanese girl with healthy jet-black hair always looks more beautiful when surrounded by girls with dyed-brown damaged hair.
