Was any reason given in the article?

This seems like it would be surprising news to most given Tanaka's nice guy image.

nope. The interesting thing is that Tanaka has custody of both of the kids. I heard that it's extremely rare in Japan for a man to get custody of kids over a woman.

Theres a show called バイキング which is normally posted daily on youtube its a news discussion program like Wide na Show but due to being daily they often get news out a bit quicker, it shifts around the presenters between various comedians etc, The past 2 days have talked a bit about Taneka's devorce although not a lot of details are out,

That's pretty sad to hear. Can anyone who understands Japanese give some more insight on this?

I didn't know that they were having problems.

Also what's that about the kids going to Tanaka? This is unusual.

Here's a translation of a Sponichi article I did. I've also added some notes from the May 3rd episode of High Noon TV Viking! (thank you to Batosai for the link)

I don't see why a nice guy like Tanaka couldn't divorce. Nice guys can be unhappy too. There are tons of different reasons why they could divorce, none of us know them, there's also that typical Japanese mentality we can't all understand. He's a nice guy probably but we don't know him personnaly so.. Divorce is usually not a good news, but people who do divorce do it for good reasons, they're probably more happy this way. It might be a friendly divorce as well who knows. I feel kind of bad for him, but my guess is that it's for the best.

Wow, I wonder what happened that Tanaka gets custody.. interesting.. Thanks for the translation!

If the guy gets the custody then most likely the problem is on the women.
