The 29-year-old actress publicly announced her pregnancy last year and gave birth to her son in February this year. Talking about her decision to have a child out of wedlock, Nagai said that her former partner had no plans for marriage, but she wanted to be a mother as she approached her 30s. The decision to carry the pregnancy to term was taken with mutual understanding, and while the father has taken financial responsibility for the child, Nagai is raising her son independently with support from her family.
In a recent interview, Nagai also talked about her controversial decision to carry on with her adult photoshoot while pregnant. When asked about the public backlash, Nagai revealed that she actually received positive results because there is a niche audience interested in explicit content featuring pregnant women.

In fact, according to Nagai, the sales of her adult content increased, and her monthly income shot up to over ¥10 million yen (around $63,295 USD). While she admitted that her work might become a pain point in her parenting journey forward, she also expressed her resolution to power through it and accept the parts she wouldn’t be able to change.
Maria Nagai’s candid confession made headlines in Japan and sparked further heated backlash online, with netizens criticizing her for risking her child’s safety and future. However, the actress has emphasized that she will continue to work in this profession for as long as there is a demand, while also raising her son with love and support.
