The story
It was revealed on October 13, 2026, that actress Yui Aragaki (38) has given birth to her first child. Her husband, actor and musician Gen Hoshino (45), made the announcement on his official website. The couple married after meeting as co-stars in a TV drama, and the 5ch “Geinou Sokuhou+” thread quickly filled with congratulatory messages. At the same time, plenty of posts voiced concern over her age — “advanced maternal age pregnancies can carry risks down the line” — while others expressed surprise, saying they’d assumed the couple’s relationship had “gone cold.” The thread split between celebration and anxiety over the risks.

What people said
Congrats
A first pregnancy at an advanced maternal age can be riskier than people think, so there's reason to worry a bit
I figured they either weren't planning to have kids or couldn't
Congratulations
Advanced maternal age pregnancies carry risks down the line
My dad was 46 and my mom was 38 when they had their one kid
No disability showed up, but that kid never turned into a decent adult
Well, you've got enough brains to post on 5ch,
so you turned out fine
At least you had a sense of humor going for you, lucky
At this point Gakki's become even more of a non-issue to me than when they got married
The second I glanced at the thread title, I assumed it'd be a divorce announcement for these two
As long as they're happy, that's what matters most
How do you know that? Got psychic powers or something?
Personally I'd rather have DAIGO's kid's luck
And it's shocking that 'We Married as a Job!' (the drama where they met) aired 10 years ago already (´・ω・｀)
Re: #61
Right…? If a kid had been born back then, they'd already be 10 years old now
Whichever parent it takes after,
those eyes are gonna be narrow either way
They just don't talk about their married life publicly, but that got spun into that image online, and articles even ran with it
So they went out of their way to appear together on a radio show once just to deny it
Haha, I kind of thought the same thing
Guess this isn't my reincarnation after all
They're not gonna stay together till the end
Background and Key Points of This Story
Yui Aragaki and Gen Hoshino have rarely discussed their married life in the media, and that reticence had fueled a perception online that their relationship had “gone cold.” The thread notes that the two once appeared together on a radio show specifically to deny rumors of discord, a detail that left those unaware of it genuinely surprised by the birth announcement. As for “advanced maternal age” pregnancy, medically the term refers to a first birth at age 35 or older; while it’s associated with a somewhat elevated risk during pregnancy and delivery, most such pregnancies go smoothly under proper medical care — worth noting given the gap between the level of anxiety in the thread and the actual degree of risk.
