The winner of the 2021 award was Mariko Shinoda, who was later accused of betraying her husband, allegedly attempted suicide, and ended up divorcing earlier this year.
Michiko Kichise, the best mother of 2019, divorced her husband, apparently because of his snoring. And the 2017 winner was Maki Goto, who was also involved in infidelity.
