(Source: Sanspo and Mainichi) One half of comic duo DOWNTOWN, Matsumoto Hitoshi (45) has reportedly gotten married to half-Korean NTV's weather-girl, Ihara Rin (26). News of them dating first started in July last year by the women's weekly Josei Seven. Ihara Rin is also said to be pregnant currently.

Matsumoto has been known in the circuit for his philanderous ways. His most famous girlfriend to date is Tokiwa Takako (37) which was exposed by the weekly "Friday" in May 1995. However, their vehement denials of marriage rumours in August 2003 more or less signalled the end to their relationship.

In response to this shocking revelation, the other half of the comic duo DOWNTOWN, Hamada Masatoshi released his "comment", as shown in the picture above.

He wrote:" Congratulations. So you too, are (going to be) somebody's father! You cannot go to places like Gotanda anymore okay?" More about Gotanda here (though I think some details were left out by Wiki.)
