On November 2, former Hinatazaka46 member Iguchi Mao (26) updated her Instagram account and announced her pregnancy.

Iguchi shared a photo of her ultrasound, saying, "It's a private matter, but I would like to make an announcement. I'm sure some people have already noticed, but I have been blessed with a new life. I've already entered my stable period and am scheduled to give birth around the New Year holiday season. Everything is new, so I am super anxious, but our child that is growing daily inside of me is precious. I am so happy." 

She continued, "I am about to become a mom, so it would make me happy if you would continue to watch over me warmly. Thank you for your continued support." 

Iguchi graduated from Hinatazaka46 in 2020 and announced her marriage to a non-celebrity man in January of this year. Congratulations!
