Divorce in Japan is becoming more common, yet it is still considered somewhat a taboo, especially among celebrities. Public opinion is usually swayed based on how the individuals handle the situation. Generally, celebrities are expected to announce their divorce professionally and amicably, with a focus on respecting privacy.
In the US or EU, celebrity divorces are quite common and often involve public speculation and media scrutiny. However, celebrities are not bindingly expected to publicize reasons for divorce or address it in a formal announcement.
