Divorce is often considered a private matter in Japan, and it is not uncommon for prominent figures to handle it discreetly. Public respect for personal lives is high, with a lot of reverence given to marital status changes. That said, public figures announcing their divorce clears up rumors and speculation among fans and the public.
In the U.S. or EU, the news of a celebrity divorce would likely be handled similarly. The announcement would typically come from the individuals involved or their representatives, often in an attempt to maintain control over the narrative. However, the intense media scrutiny in the West can often lead to rampant speculation and rumors, something Japanese celebrities are to a significant extent successful in avoiding.
