It turns out that rumors about a split between actress Okina Megumi (photo, 25) and her husband were true. The actress married 32-year Fujita Susumu, president of IT company Cyber Agent, only in February of last year, and up until last month she was insisting that everything was fine between them.

Last year’s romance was seen as part of a boom in eligible showbusiness women going for high-profile and wealthy IT types.
