A former member of a popular girl group has announced her marriage on Instagram.
27-year-old Maaya Wada is a former member of the J-Pop idol girl group Nogizaka46. She joined the group as a 1st Generation member in 2011, when she was just 13 years old, and she left the group in 2022 at age 24. Since then, she has launched her own company and continued to work in other areas of the entertainment industry.
On April 13, Maaya Wada surprised fans and well-wishers by announcing her marriage through a heartfelt post. The talent and entrepreneur shared the news with a series of elegant photographs, including one of herself standing beneath cherry blossom trees, and another posing alongside her husband in matching wedding attire with their beloved dogs.
In her post’s caption, she recalled the emotional day she left her family in Hiroshima to pursue her dreams in Tokyo. That sense of loneliness, uncertainty, and the weight of her family’s feelings, she wrote, had stayed with her through the years and ultimately contributed to the happiness she now embraces. Wada expressed profound gratitude to her supporters, fellow members, staff, and everyone she encountered during her time in the entertainment industry, noting that their warmth and encouragement had been her greatest source of strength.
Who is the groom? Maaya’s husband reportedly a non-celebrity man involved in media production, with whom she had been in a relationship for some time prior to their wedding. Details about the couple’s meeting or the exact timing of their ceremony remain private.
