Japanese former national figure skater Ando Miki (38) has openly shared the behind-the-scenes stories of her past relationships and breakups with foreign athletes.

According to Japanese outlet 'Sponichi Annex', Ando appeared on TBS Radio's 'Bobby and Oshinri Research Institute' program on the 9th, where she revealed details about her international love life.

Reports indicate that Ando stated regarding her approach to relationships: "When I meet someone, we date for about three to four years." She added, "After becoming more mature, I seriously considered our future with partners who were Russian and Spanish." The Spanish man she referred to is figure skater Javier Fernández, with whom she officially announced their relationship in 2014.

Ando also provided detailed accounts of her time dating Fernández. She recalled, "At the time, my boyfriend was an active athlete, so after practice he would only play games when he came home." She further mentioned that they lived together while she stayed in Canada for choreography schedules and exchanged greetings with both families. It is reported that their families maintained deep connections, with Ando's daughter visiting Spain every vacation.

However, the serious relationship between the two ended due to infidelity on the other party's part. When the host asked if she had noticed he was cheating, Ando admitted it and explained, "The skating world is small; all information spreads quickly," clearly indicating that Fernández's misconduct was the reason for their breakup.

Earlier, in a previous episode of the same program broadcast on the 1st, Ando recounted how she broke up with an older Japanese ice hockey player during her late teenage years while studying abroad in the United States due to excessive restrictions. She confessed about her turbulent relationship pattern: "Although I stay with one person for a long time, most often it ends because they cheat."

Meanwhile, Ando Miki was recognized as Japan's representative figure skating star, active during the same era as 'Figure Skating Queen' Kim Yuna. Notably, she became the first female skater to successfully land a quadruple jump in an official international competition, generating significant attention. She competed in the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics and the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, building a brilliant career that included two world championship titles.

However, her life off the ice was full of ups and downs. In April 2013, at the age of 25, she made a surprise announcement that she had given birth to a daughter while unmarried, sending shockwaves through Japanese society. Even after childbirth, she balanced motherhood with her athletic career, demonstrating her potential by finishing seventh at that year's All-Japan Championships before announcing her retirement from active competition later that same year. Recently, she faced controversy and public criticism for allegedly engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old minor who was once her student while working as a coach.
