ご報告です。 いつも応援してくださっているファンの皆様、関係者の皆様へ 私事で大変恐縮ではございますが、 私、高橋みなみは、かねてよりお付き合いしておりました一般男性の方と5月1日に入籍致しましたことをご報告させていただきます。 彼は15歳年上の昭和生まれ、そして私が平成生まれという事と、 お付き合いを始めたのが5月という事もあり、『令和』新しい時代の始まりと共に家族として歩むことを決めました。 彼はとても穏やかで、我が家の気難しい猫にも好かれる優しい人です。 日々笑顔が絶えず支えられています。 これからの人生、夫婦で協力し合いながら、 私達らしい家庭を築いていきたいなと思っております。 仕事も今まで以上に努力を重ね精進して参りますので、 今後も温かく見守っていただけたら幸いです。 2019年5月2日 高橋みなみ

Takahashi wrote, “I have a report to all the fans who have always supported me. I am very sorry to discuss personal matters but I, Takahashi Minami, registered on May 1st to a man that I have long been associated with”.

“He was born in the Showa era and is 15 years older and I was born in the Heisei era. It was back in May we started a relationship and we decided to talk about marriage and having a family in the beginning of the new era”.

“He is a gentleman who also likes the crazy cats in my home. He smiles and supports me every day”.

“For the future, working together as a couple, I want to build a family. I will continue to work harder than ever and hope you will continue to keep supporting me in the future”.

Takahashi Minami, May 2, 2019

NOTE: Showa Era is (1926-1989), Heisei Era is (1990-April 30, 2019). So if he is 15 years older than Takamina who is 28 (She was born on April 8, 1991), that means he is 46 years old and was born in 1976.
