Wataru and Midori confirmed they’re still happily together after ‘Love is Blind: Japan’ and recently announced that they are expecting their first child.

Midori shared the announcement on Instagram.
Midori went into Love is Blind: Japan skeptical about marriage — which is not exactly a great start for a show on which you’re expected to get engaged before meeting face-to-face and wed only a few weeks later. But the 30-year-old business planner nonetheless fell for Wataru.
A 38-year-old IT executive, Wataru had already been married once before participating in the experiment. He connected with Midori over their shared ambition and experience in the tech world, and though he also bonded with Priya, his and Midori’s similar experiences in America as well as their plans for the future helped to solidify their connection.
During their time in the pods, it was clear that Midori was pushing for the relationship to work, ultimately winning Wataru over with her bluntness and boldness. When it came time to meet in person, though, it wasn’t exactly the moment she was hoping for. While Wataru said Midori “exceeded his imagination” as far as her appearance was concerned, Midori commented that she’d hoped Wataru would have had “more delicate features.” Nevertheless, the two decided to continue exploring their relationship.
The main thing standing in their way was Midori’s aversion to marriage, so Wataru did his best to alleviate her concerns.
