A beloved star shocked netizens by announcing both her marriage and divorce at the same time.
On the 23rd, two photos along with an explanation were posted on Instagram by Ropaco, a member of a Japanese comedy duo. Both photos showed rings on the ring finger of her left hand, but one was in color and the other was black and white.
Ropaco wrote, “I got married in July 2025,” and then in the following photo, “I got divorced in April 2026,” revealing the divorce after just nine months.
She added, “Wow… life is really interesting,” and asked for warm support, saying, “There’s no particular impact on my activities, so please look kindly on divorced woman Ropaco.”
The public was shocked by the news. Netizens left comments saying, “I don’t know how to comfort you,” “You can guess things in many ways,” “Living an interesting life,” and “So much happened in such a short time,” showing strong reactions.
However, some criticized the casual treatment of marriage and divorce, saying, “Since when did marriage become a contract to be taken lightly like a joke?”
Born in 1989, Ropaco formed the duo with colleague Iwasa in April 2016. They are especially loved by the local 20s and 30s for their comedy focusing on the subtle misunderstandings between men and women.
