2. Marriage and divorce with Kazuaki Kiriya

Her first husband was a well-known film director and photographer.
My name is **Kiriya Kazuaki**.

The two met around 2000 while working on visuals for Utada Hikaru's music. They grew closer through their creative activities, and in 2002, Utada announced their marriage at the young age of 19. At the time, this marriage caused a lot of buzz as it was seen as "premature."

When announcing their marriage, Kazuaki Kiriya said on his official website that he "wanted to protect her," revealing that she had deeply influenced his outlook on life and values. However, it seems that the differences in their lifestyles and mental maturity gradually cast a shadow over their relationship.

They divorced in 2007. Years later, in an interview with a women's magazine, Kiriya Kazuaki reflected, "She was too young, and I was immature," suggesting that the breakup was not due to conflict or trouble. They had no children during this marriage.

3. Remarriage to an ordinary Italian man

A few years after her first divorce, Utada Hikaru announced her remarriage in 2014.

The other person was reported to be an ordinary Italian man who worked as a bartender.

The remarriage announcement was made on her blog, where she described her partner as "as ordinary as you could ask for," and politely asked people to refrain from reporting her real name and from excessive coverage. It was striking that, despite being one of Japan's leading divas, she prioritized her partner's privacy.

The wedding ceremony took place in a church in southern Italy, and the couple reportedly lived a quiet married life in London afterwards. However, their marriage ended after about four years, and their divorce was made public in 2018.

Some reports suggested that the reason for the divorce was differences in financial sense and lifestyle, but no official reason has been given and the truth has not been revealed.

The baby boy was born in 2015 to her Italian ex-husband, and was Utada Hikaru's first child.

As of 2025, he is believed to be around 10 years old and currently lives in London.

He also appears to be interested in music and other creative activities, and attention is focused on what path he will choose in the future.
