That's also very mysterious.

Ohtani was not known to be dating anyone, and all of a sudden, right before spring training, he announced that he just married the love of his life in Japan.

It surprised many people that a public figure such as Ohtani would be able to date someone under the radar, and nobody understood the secrecy. Why would he be ashamed about dating a seemingly normal Japanese girl? Why was this hidden?

Whole thing is so odd.

Would be disturbing if it turned out Ippei was his gay lover, and his handlers quickly arranged a marriage in advance of this whole gambling mess coming out.
