The marriage news was shared through Nakajima’s agency, and the actor wrote, “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support. Although this is a personal matter, I would like to announce that I have married actress Yuko Araki. We hope to move forward together, cherishing our hearts and never forgetting our mutual respect.”
Araki also released a statement through her agency, announcing her marriage and asking fans for support. Both statements have quickly spread online, sparking the outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans.
Araki and Nakajima met each other in 2017, when they worked together in the lead roles of the movie My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday. They then reunited the very next year, in 2018, for the popular Japanese drama series SUITS. They also worked together in the second season of the drama that aired in 2020.
Nakajima, a former idol from the group Hey! Say! JUMP has quickly established himself as an actor, and his most recent projects include a Japanese drama, Sirius No Hansho, and a stage production of Death of a Salesman. Araki, on the other hand, is at the peak of her career, and her most recent project was the film Until We Meet Again.
