Former NGT48/AKB48 member, actress Kitahara Rie (30) and actor Kasahari Hideyuki (38) announced through their agencies that they got married.

The two sent a joint statement:

We are pleased to report that we, Kasahara Hideyuki and Kitahara Rie have been married. We support each other, comfort each other, praise each other, and from now on, we will be warm as a family. I would like to spin up my time.

Kitahara wrote, “As I reach the milestone of becoming 30 years old and want to continue to do our best in this work, Kasahara-san always consults with me and gives me advice. He’s become an important person who makes me smile, sometimes seriously and sometimes playfully. I have a strong admiration for my family, and I have come to want to be a family with this person. It’s a little strange and embarrassing that the day when I can make such a report will come, but I’m very happy if you can support me warmly. I will continue to face this work more and more seriously and devote myself to it. Thank you for your continued support”.

Kasahara wrote, “Since I met Kitahara and slowly as time progressed, we began to want to become a family. We will continue to face things together seriously, devote ourselves, and strive as as actors, so we appreciate your continued support”.
