It was reported on Tuesday that actress Yuko Takeuchi has presented divorce papers to her husband, Shido Nakamura. Her lawyers say that she is seeking for the divorce to be settled quickly, but Nakamura is hoping for a chance to discuss the matter, as it was unexpected for him. Takeuchi and Nakamura have been married since May 10, 2005, and they have a son who will turn 1 year old in November.
This past summer, Nakamura was caught driving under the influence, and it was later discovered that his passenger was actress Aya Okamoto. The incident may likely have been a reason for Takeuchi's decision.
