Depparin says second divorce leaves her facing a surname change petition
Japanese TV personality Depparin has announced her second divorce and says she faces complicated paperwork over her surname.
She first married a YouTuber in 2020 and had a daughter; they divorced in 2023.
She remarried in 2024 and had a son in 2025, before announcing her second divorce this October.
She says she can only return to her first ex-husband’s surname for now because she kept using it after her first divorce.
To use her birth surname, she says she must ask a family court for permission.
Her daughter’s adoption and family-register arrangements add more steps, and Depparin says she will deal with those after the divorce-related matters are settled.
She says she will keep working through the procedures with her children, though she expects the next stage to be harder.
Blogger Depparin says her second divorce has left her unable to return directly to her birth surname.
She says she is temporarily using her husband’s surname and must petition a family court to use her birth surname.
Depparin said she kept her first husband’s surname after her first divorce, creating the current situation.
She also said her daughter’s adoption-related family-register matters mean the adoption will be ended later, after other procedures.
The reports say she announced her second divorce on October 22 and wrote about the surname issue on October 27.
