Former Japanese national team figure skater Ando Miki (38) has openly shared behind-the-scenes stories of her past relationships and breakups with foreign athletes.
According to reports, the Japanese outlet 'Sponichi Annex' said that Ando appeared on TBS Radio's 'Bobby and Oshinri Research Institute' program on the 9th and revealed details about her international love life.
According to the report, Ando stated regarding her dating style, "When I meet someone, we date for about three to four years," adding, "After becoming more mature, I seriously considered our future with partners who were Russian and Spanish." The Spanish person she referred to is figure skater Javier Fernández, who 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 when he came home after practice, he only played games." She further added that they lived together while she stayed in Canada for choreography schedules and exchanged greetings with both families. It is reported that their families had deep interactions, to the extent that Ando's daughter visited Spain every vacation.
However, the serious relationship between the two ended in tragedy due to infidelity on the other party's part. When the host asked if she noticed he was cheating, Ando admitted it and explained, "The skating world is small, so all information gets around," clearly stating that Fernández's misconduct was the reason for their breakup.

Earlier, during a broadcast of the full episode of the program on the 1st, Ando also shared her story of breaking up with an older Japanese ice hockey player she dated while studying abroad in the United States as a late teenager due to severe restrictions, confessing her turbulent dating pattern: "I stay with one person for a long time, but generally, they cheat and we break up."
Meanwhile, Ando Miki was recognized by the public as Japan's representative figure skating star, active during the same era as 'Figure Skating Queen' Kim Yuna. Notably, she made waves by becoming the first female athlete to successfully land a quadruple jump in an official international competition. She competed in the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics and the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, building a brilliant career that included winning the world championships twice.
However, her life off the ice was full of twists and turns. In a shocking announcement on the 25th, 2013, she revealed that she had given birth to a daughter while unmarried at the age of 25, sending shockwaves through Japanese society. Even after giving birth, she demonstrated her resilience by balancing motherhood with her athletic career, achieving seventh place at that year's All-Japan Championships before declaring her retirement from active competition later that same year. Recently, she also faced controversy and public scrutiny when allegations surfaced about her engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old minor who was once her student while working as a coach.
