Dante Carver revealed to have had an affair, his mistress is now pregnant
aramajapan.com/news/gossip...
American talent Dante Carver seems to have gotten himself into quite the mishap. Not only has it been revealed that he has had an affair, but the woman whom he had an affair with is now pregnant.
On August 2010, Carver married former model Akiko Matsumoto. Their official wedding ceremony was held the following year in April 2011 and the couple have two young children together aged 5 and 3. The trouble started last year when Carver started to fool around with a woman in her 20s. They became antiquated [sic] over the summer and she is not affiliated with the entertainment industry, she works at a sports shop. His mistress is now pregnant and is said to be giving birth in the near future.
Naturally Carver's wife is furious at the entire situation, upon her learning of the incident it's been said that he sought refuge at his parents house. A divorce between Carver and Matsumoto is expected to happen but not immediately, seeing as Carver is doing his best to avoid the conflict entirely. His agency tried to damage control the situation by claiming that the couples relationship had already "broken down" years ago, and that divorce talks were happening as early as 2015.
His sloppy behavior has apparently been well known among entertainment officials, however this scandal takes things to another level. Previously Carver's biggest scandal was probably when he was caught driving with an expired international driving permit.
Carver achieved nationwide fame in Japan for his Softbank CMs where first he played the "Yoso Guy" and then Aya Ueto's older brother as part of the fictional "White Family". In 2008 he was crowned the most popular male actor in a CM by the public, breaking Takuya Kimura's streak who had previously won the award 8 years in a row.
It's currently unknown if he will be dropped from Softbank and his other promotional contracts, but he will have to face a considerable amount of penalty moving forward.

The above report sounded suspicious, but Dante was not present at Softbank's 10th anniversary of the "Shirato family" on the Sept. 19th and there are other Japanese news reports about this:

If he were Japanese it wouldn't even be news.

Are you kidding me?

You need to read the Japanese tabloids ... they cover affairs all the time.

Here's one .... a Japanese LDP Diet member gets caught cheating on her husband with a lawyer 9 years her junior ... http://www.tokyoreporter.com/2017/09/07 ... or-report/

It would be unusual, especially because there is a bastard love child involved, for the press NOT to cover it.

Pulling the "Is this cos he's black/gaijin?" card doesn't work.

he sought refuge at his parents house.

I wonder if this is just gender transposition and it is his wife who sought refuge, or if his parents live in Japan, because otherwise that is a strange way of saying that he has returned to the US while this blows over, if that is the case. Then again, there are a few strange idiomatic expressions in that piece, as Taro pointed out.

He could've been adopted...

In Holland a politician is only fired if he is orally pleasured by an opposition politician in the bicycle shed.

I only put the link there as proof that I am not lying.

There is an Afrikaner and a Swiss here who might understand, though.

As far as I understand he is.

You are probably right then.

Getting back to the topic of the son-of-the-dog...

As far as Dante Carver's whereabouts, Dante and Mrs. Carver began to live separately in March 2015, and sometime between March and May 2017 his wife officially filed for divorce.news.nifty.com | Sept. 15, 2017

Supposedly, Dante has lost "around 10 million yen a year" from Softbank's cancelling his contract for adultery. That amount seems rather low for a recurring TV commercial character, so it's not the end-of-the-world for Dante who still has a more lucrative gig with "Resident Evil."

However...

In 2008, Carver was voted the most popular male actor in a TV commercial in Japan, beating Takuya Kimura, who had previously held the top position for eight consecutive years.

Interestingly....
The (barely) 20-year woman that Dante Carver knocked-up said she expects their baby in November.
