Amid a recent rush of wedding announcements, Tsuyoshi Shinjo has revealed that he and talento Shiho Okouchi have divorced. Shinjo explained on his website that the split is the result of his own selfishness - he wants to try various things with his career, and he felt the couple would be better off leading separate lives.

Shinjo moved to Hokkaido when he joined the Nippon Ham Fighters in 2004, while Okouchi lived in Tokyo. But even after he retired last year and moved to Tokyo, the two have been living separately.
