It was revealed on the 7th that actress Satomi Ishihara is pregnant with her second child. Her agency announced the news. The baby is due in early summer.

According to her agency's website, she is scheduled to attend the Japan Academy Awards ceremony on the 14th, but will be taking a break from her regular appearance on NHK's "Ashita ga Kawaru Torisetsu Show" for a while, and will "return to the show after consulting with a doctor as soon as her health improves." However, because some episodes have been recorded, "Ishihara will be the MC for the time being on air," they explained.

Ishihara released a statement through her agency saying, "I have been blessed with my second child. I will be going on maternity leave at the end of March. I apologize to everyone at work for the inconvenience this will cause me so that I can safely accomplish the miracle of the birth of a life, but I would appreciate your kind support. And I would like to thank everyone who always supports me."

Ishihara married an ordinary man in 2020 and announced the birth of her first child in April 2022.
