Ex-Nogizaka46 idol Misa Eto welcomes third child 18 months after baseball star husband’s affair

TOKYO (TR) – Former Nogizaka46 member and television personality Misa Eto, 33, announced the birth of her third child on Instagram on Monday.

The revelations sparked a wave of shock and cynical commentary online given her husband’s recent high-profile infidelity, reports evening tabloid Nikkan Gendai (Aug. 19).

“I recently gave birth to our third child, a boy,” Eto wrote to her followers. “While struggling with the unfamiliarity of raising three children, I am spending my days filled with love.”

Her husband, Seibu Lions infielder Sosuke Genda, 33, echoed the sentiment on his own account, posting, “I am grateful to my wife for giving birth to a healthy child.”

However, the picture-perfect family facade comes just a year and a half after weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun blew the lid off Genda’s extramarital activities. The baseball star was forced to admit to an affair with a hostess working at a high-end club in Tokyo’s posh Ginza district. At the time, reports suggested Genda’s feelings for his wife had cooled, bringing the marriage to the brink of collapse.

Social media users were quick to express their astonishment at the rapid expansion of the family following the scandal.

“I can feel Eto’s sheer tenacity,” one user commented. Others voiced skepticism, writing, “Is a high-earning husband all that matters in the end?” and “You really can’t tell what goes on inside a marriage from the outside.”

Industry insiders suggest the decision to stay together and expand the family may be a calculated move.

“Eto built her media brand on the image of being an ‘adored wife,’ so her pride was likely a major factor,” a women’s magazine editor explained. “Furthermore, the ‘forgiving wife’ angle is highly lucrative for ‘mama talents’ who are in demand for talk shows. Looking at her future media exposure, choosing to rebuild the marriage was a very shrewd business decision.”

Turning as blind eye

Eto is the latest in a growing trend of Japanese celebrity wives turning a blind eye to their husbands’ sordid indiscretions.

The situation closely mirrors that of actress Nozomi Sasaki, 38, who stood by comedian Ken Watabe, 53, following his infamous 2020 multi-purpose toilet sex scandal . Sasaki refused to divorce, gave birth to a second child, and recently admitted on television that while she is still keeping him under “observation” and “still hasn’t forgiven him,” she stayed because Watabe is a “great father.”

Similarly, actor Ryuuji Harada’s wife, Ai, stayed with him after his 2019 “4WD affair” was exposed. The couple has since successfully milked the infidelity for variety show laughs, successfully rehabilitating his image. Conversely, Hiroko Mita’s repeated forgiveness of kabuki actor Shikan Nakamura’s endless string of mistresses has begun to alienate her female fanbase.

Whether Eto has truly forgiven Genda’s Ginza escapades remains a mystery, but the duo is guaranteed to remain under the public microscope. Ironically, some corners of the internet have even expressed bizarre sympathy for the cheating baseball player, suggesting he may have simply grown exhausted by his wife’s relentless “happy marriage” PR campaign.

东京（TR）——前乃木坂46成员、电视名人江藤美沙（33岁）周一在Instagram上宣布了她第三个孩子的出生。

据晚间小报《日刊现代》（8月19日）报道，鉴于其丈夫最近高调出轨，这些爆料在网上引发了一阵震惊和愤世嫉俗的评论。

“我最近生下了我们的第三个孩子，是个男孩，”埃托在给粉丝的信中写道。“虽然养育三个孩子让我感到很不适应，但我每天都沉浸在爱中。”

她的丈夫，西武狮队内野手源田壮介（33岁），也在自己的账号上表达了同样的感受，他发帖说：“感谢我的妻子生下了一个健康的孩子。”

然而，就在一年半前，周刊杂志《周刊文春》爆出源田信介的婚外情丑闻。这位棒球明星被迫承认与东京高档银座区一家夜总会的女招待有染。当时的报道称，源田信介对妻子的感情已经冷却，婚姻濒临破裂。

丑闻曝光后，社交媒体用户迅速对这个家庭的迅速扩张表示惊讶。

一位用户评论道：“我能感受到Eto的坚韧不拔。”其他用户则表示怀疑，写道：“最终，丈夫收入高就足够了吗？”以及“从外表上看，你真的无法了解婚姻内部的情况。”

业内人士认为，他们决定继续在一起并扩大家庭可能是经过深思熟虑的。

一位女性杂志编辑解释说：“埃托一直以来都以‘受人爱戴的妻子’的形象打造自己的媒体品牌，所以她的自尊心很可能是一个重要因素。此外，‘宽容的妻子’这一角度对那些在脱口秀节目中炙手可热的‘辣妈’来说非常有利可图。考虑到她未来的媒体曝光度，选择重建婚姻是一个非常精明的商业决策。”

视而不见

埃托是日本明星妻子对丈夫的不检点行为视而不见这一日益增长的趋势中的最新一例。

这种情况与38岁的女演员佐佐木希的经历非常相似。2020年，53岁的喜剧演员渡部谦爆出臭名昭著的“多功能厕所性丑闻”，佐佐木希始终没有离开他。她拒绝离婚，生下了第二个孩子，并且最近在电视节目中承认，虽然她仍在“观察”渡部谦，并且“仍然没有原谅他”，但她之所以留下，是因为渡部谦是一位“伟大的父亲”。

同样，演员原田龙二的妻子爱在他2019年“四驱车事件”曝光后依然陪伴在他身边。此后，这对夫妇成功地利用这段婚外情在综艺节目中博取笑声，成功挽回了原田龙二的形象。相反，歌舞伎演员中村志宽多次原谅他与众多情妇的纠葛，开始疏远她的女性粉丝群体。

江藤是否真的原谅了源田在银座的风流韵事仍是个谜，但这对夫妻注定会继续受到公众的密切关注。讽刺的是，一些网友甚至对这位出轨的棒球运动员表达了莫名其妙的同情，认为他可能只是厌倦了妻子没完没了的“幸福婚姻”公关宣传。
