A Japanese man’s personal life has recently become the talk of the internet after he revealed that he is perfectly ok with his wife of three years having a boyfriend and even bringing him into the family home.
Prince Soy, a young Japanese chef and blogger who promotes and sells additive-free okara granola online, has recently been drawing a lot of attention for very different reasons. On July 8th, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that his wife Seira would be returning home after spending six months studying abroad and that she would be bringing her new boyfriend along. The controversial post quickly went viral, sparking a heated online debate about Prince Soy’s marriage and the three-way relationship. The controversy didn’t seem to bother the married man who actually documented the visit of his wife’s boyfriend through short clips and multiple social media posts.

“My wife and her boyfriend are going to live together. My wife is studying abroad and has a new boyfriend. She is coming back to Japan with him, and he is coming to stay with us,” Prince Soy told his followers on X, adding that he had no problem with the unusual arrangement.
The Japanese blogger explained that Seira had told him that she wanted to study in Australia last year, and he accepted even though he was surprised by her decision. She left in January 2024, and by May, she confessed that she had met another Japanese man who subsequently became her boyfriend. Because Prince Soy and his wife had previously decided to be in an open relationship, he had no objections to her new “acquisition”. He actually revealed friendly text messages he exchanged with his wife’s boyfriend and the Starbucks coupon he gifted him for his birthday.
“I’ve never met him before so I don’t know his preferences, and I thought if I gave him something too extravagant he might feel uncomfortable, so I gave him something very safe, like a Starbucks ticket,” Prince Soy said.

On July 12th, Soy posted a video of himself greeting Seira and her boyfriend at the airport, and over the past week, he continued documenting the unconventional living arrangement, with the boyfriend sharing their home. He and his wife slept in the bedroom, while her boyfriend slept on the couch. At one point, when his wife and her boyfriend got into an argument, he stepped in to mediate the situation.
“I thank him wholeheartedly as he supported my wife while she was having a hard time abroad,” Prince Soy said about Seira’s boyfriend. “He must be an interesting person, or my wife would not fall for him.”
Social media reactions to Prince Soy’s situation have been mixed,
