After much speculation and silent denials, weekly tabloid magazine 'FRIDAY' eventually reported that actress Miyazaki Aoi and actor Takaoka Sosuke have stopped living together since last month.

Miyazaki and Takaoka married back in June of 2007, and it seems like the married couple is facing their biggest crisis with 'FRIDAY' providing proof in forms of photos, that they have stopped living together. The said photos indicate that Miyazaki is currently living in an apartment somewhere around the Tokyo Metropolitan area, while Takaoka has rented himself an apartment in Setagaya, Tokyo.

Is this the sign of an impending divorce? Sanspo contacted Takaoka's new agency, the one he started after his Twitter scandal, and they decided to refuse to make any comments about his private life instead of flatly denying the rumor. According to other officials within the industry, it sounds like Miyazaki eventually reached the end of her patience and left their apartment first.

Due to those circumstances, it seems unlikely that they are going to reconcile. Most people expect that Miyazaki is finally going to push for a divorce sooner or later. Obviously her agency also refused to make any comments, but recently the actress was seen more often without her wedding ring.

Miyazaki is going to attend a screening of her latest movie "Tsure ga Utsu ni Narimashite.", which ironically portrays the deep bonds between a married couple, on October 21st. Reporters will be pretty eager to entice her to make a comment regarding her own married life at this event.

Tokyohive will continue to keep you updated about the relationship status of this couple.
