North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is apparently a married man now that state media announced the leader toured an amusement park with his "wife, comrade Ri Sol Ju." NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.By ReutersUpdated at 7:27 a.m. ET: SEOUL, South Korea – Public appearances by Ri Sol Ju, the wife of leader Kim Jong Un, were reported by North Korean state media for the first time in two months on Tuesday amid mounting speculation that she had been chastised for inappropriate conduct or that she may be pregnant.

Her once-frequent appearances with her husband in public reported in state media had marked the starkest break by the North's leadership from the dour image of Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, who was rarely seen in public with any of his wives.

Ri attended football match and a musical concert with Kim Jong Un on Monday. Their appearance at the concert "drew a thunderous cheer from the audience", the official KCNA news agency said on Tuesday.
