Ai Fukuhara, who divorced Chiang Hung-chieh in 2021, confirmed late last year that she had remarried—specifically to the “Yokohama man” previously linked to her in Japanese media reports regarding an alleged extramarital affair. Recently, she quietly welcomed her third child, drawing significant public interest in her life. With the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya set to open on the 19th, Fukuhara was spotted participating in torch-related activities; this appearance marks a rare public sighting of her in Japan, offering a glimpse into her current life.
Footage from the event shows Fukuhara wearing the official event uniform and holding a torch. She appeared relaxed and cheerful, beaming with a bright smile. Fans along the route recognized her and frequently called out “Ai-chan,” showing their support for the renowned Japanese table tennis star.
Fukuhara had previously been the focus of intense media attention in both Japan and Taiwan due to controversies surrounding her marriage and personal life. Since her divorce, she has gradually shifted her professional focus to China; in addition to participating in TV programs and events, she actively manages social media accounts on platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu, where she has built a substantial fan base.
