Kim Yuna (36), a legend of Korean figure skating, and Miki Ando (39), the "Japanese genius figure skater" who shared the world silver medal with her, have finally spoken about the biological father of their 13-year-old daughter, who had long been shrouded in secrecy. Japan was once again turned upside down by her bold and unreserved remarks after she chose to walk the path of a single mother with confidence.

According to a report by Japanese Abema Times on the 4th, Miki Ando appeared on a Japanese variety program broadcast on the 2nd, where she discussed the topic of "single moms." During the broadcast, Ando revealed, without omission or embellishment, details about her daughter's father, whom she had meticulously kept hidden until now.

In April 2013, Miki Ando gave birth to her daughter, Ando Himawari (13), without getting married, sending shockwaves through both South Korea and Japan with her "declaration as a single mother of a sports star." Although she publicly introduced her daughter, praised for her beauty and resemblance to her mother, through a broadcast in 2020, the identity of the biological father remained shrouded in secrecy.

During the broadcast, Miki Ando began by saying, "Since my daughter grew up without a father before she turned one, she likely won't remember him." However, her response was far bolder than anyone could have imagined. Ando stated, "I didn't think it was something to hide, so I explained the reason to her from a young age and even showed her a photo of her father." She added, "I told my daughter, 'If you want to meet him, he's probably still alive, so I'll help you find him,' which left those around her stunned."

She continued, "There may be families where parents prevent children from meeting their biological parents even if the child wants to, but I do not wish to be that kind of parent." She further added, "The fact that I became a single mother without registering a marriage is solely due to the circumstances of adults. I will align everything with my child's choice," showcasing her principled stance as a mother.

Miki Ando, who retired in 2013, was a legendary skater who competed in the four-turn jump during her active career, winning the World Figure Skating Championships twice (2007 and 2011). She was the most formidable rival and destined competitor of "Queen of Figure Skating" Kim Yuna. The world's sports fans are now focusing their attention on Miki Ando's confession, as she has transformed from the top star who dominated the ice to a confident single mother who prioritizes her child's choices above all else.
