Free announcer Tomoyo Yukino, 44, announced that she is currently six months pregnant and is engaged to a real estate company manager. The man, 41, is divorced and has one child.

In July of last year, they met through a mutual friend and soon began dating. They found they had several common interests, including golf. In late October, Yukino learned that she was pregnant, and her physical activities such as golf and running had increased her risk of a miscarriage. She quickly canceled all of her work and spent 3 weeks resting in a hospital.

The couple plans to register their marriage around the time of the baby's birth, which is expected to occur in June.

Yukino first became popular in the 1990s while she was a regular on TV Asahi's late-night show "Tonight."
