Kotaro Shimizu is the son of Jean Garcia with a Japanese advertising executive when she was still working in Japan as a singer in a hotel.

The Kapuso actress, however, had not named him when she was asked about her past flame.

In 2007, Jean revealed to GMA News Online that she receives no financial support from Kotaro's dad but added, “Ang mahalaga lang sa akin ay nagkaroon kami ng anak and I want to thank him for being the father.

“Though hindi nga kami talaga nagtagal, still, minahal ko naman siya. Nagmahalan kaming dalawa.

“Hindi ko ipinagkakait ang anak niya. He knows where to find us. Isang long distance call lang naman 'yan.”

When asked about the reason for their separation, Jean disclosed that it was because he wanted her to remain in Japan as a housewife.

"Hindi bagay sa akin!" said Jean back then.

"Hindi ko makita ang sarili ko na naka-kimono tapos may-I-serve my husband sa bahay tapos di man lang ako naaarawan. No way, di ba?

“Hindi 'yan ang buhay ni Jean Garcia. Ako pa, e, hindi mo nga ako maipirmi sa bahay!

“Kaya noong malaman ko na 'yun ang gusto niyang mangyari, hindi ako pumayag.

“I have my own life and hindi ako sang-ayon sa gusto niya. Mas importante sa akin ang freedom”
