Aota revealed to be divorced

Talento Noriko Aota (also known as “Bubble Aota”) was revealed on Wednesday to be formerly married. This comes as a surprise to many, as Aota has become known for her unmarried status.

In November 2004, while Aota’s career was in a slump, she married a restaurant manager. Shortly after that, she found popularity as a personality on the “Kakuzuke Shiau Onnatachi” segment of TV Asahi’s “London Hearts,” where she became characterized as a “makeinu” – a term meaning “loser” but often applied to unmarried women over the age of 30.

Aota’s work schedule began to fill up, giving her little time with her husband. In the fall of 2005, her husband suggested divorce. Aota agreed, but they mutually decided to continue as supportive partners, and their relationship since then has remained suggestive of married life. According to Aota’s agency, they may eventually get remarried after their lives have settled down.
