Yuko Kubota and Josh Blue Began Dating Sometime in the 2000s and Welcomed Their First Child in 2008
Yuko Kubota and Josh Blue were introduced by a mutual friend in Boulder Colorado sometime in the 2000s. Blue was immediately smitten by Kubota but she didn’t exactly reciprocate his feelings.
It took some chase on his part before she finally succumbed and started dating him. The couple’s relationship thrived in the early months and they soon got to meet each other’s families.
Blue traveled with Kubota to Japan so that he could meet her parents and they were quite welcoming to him. Even though they weren’t aware that he had cerebral palsy, they did not treat him shabbily. Such parental acceptance gave Yuko Kubota and Josh Blue the impetus to forge ahead with their relationship at full speed, getting engaged eventually.
They then went on to welcome a child together, a son named Simon Blue, on the 11th of March 2008. They were quite overjoyed at the arrival of their first child and Blue shared the news on his Myspace page.

They then welcomed a second child, a daughter named Seika, on the 4th of May 2010.
Juggling career and kids can be quite daunting but Yuko Kubota and Josh Blue established a dynamic that worked for them. During the period that Blue was on the road pursuing his comedy career, Kubota took care of the kids and other aspects of the home front. When Blue came home from touring, he took over the home duties and gave his wife the freedom to also pursue her own activities.
In this way, the couple avoided any disagreements and this made for a very peaceful home. Theirs was also a happy easygoing family and Blue even incorporated materials about his family life into his comedy pursuits. This helped him gain new fans and grew his career.
The Couple’s Marriage Lasted Six Years and They Divorced In 2014
Yuko Kubota had two kids with Josh Blue during the pendency of their marriage. The couple may have gone on to have more but this was not to be as they quietly split in 2014 and finalized their divorce thereafter. The exact details of their settlement are not known but they agreed to split physical and legal custody of their kids in half.
It remains a mystery the reason why Yuko Kubota and Josh Blue divorced. It could have been because they grew apart or discovered that they didn’t want the same things in life. Yuko may have also divorced Josh Blue as a result of his busy schedule but this seems unlikely as he always made out time to be with the family.
