Kurumi Nakata, a well-known Japanese personality, announced her marriage to actor Tadanobu Asano on August 23, 2024, via social media. The couple, who have been in a relationship for six years despite their 18-year age gap, tied the knot in a private ceremony. The announcement was shared alongside a photo of the newlyweds, with Kurumi expressing her happiness and gratitude to her supporters.
Kurumi took to social media to share her joy, writing that she had married Asano and was looking forward to a future filled with love and smiles. She expressed her deep appreciation for the support she has received and noted that she is excited about this new chapter in her life. Meanwhile, Asano, known for his role as Raiden in “Mortal Kombat,” kept his announcement brief, simply captioning their wedding photo with “Got married!”
The couple’s marriage comes after years of speculation and rumors. It was widely believed that their wedding had been delayed due to Asano’s busy filming schedule in the United States and the ongoing pandemic. Fans and fellow celebrities, including actors Miura Takahiro, Takumi Saitoh, and Shuntarô Yanagi, quickly extended their congratulations, with Yanagi expressing his best wishes on social media.
This marks Asano’s second marriage, as he was previously married to J-pop singer Chara from 1995 to 2009. They share two children: Sumire, 27, and Himi, 22. Asano, who first gained fame in the television series Kinpachi-sensei in 1988, has since built an impressive career in both Japanese and Hollywood films, including Thor (2011) and 47 Ronin (2013).
Fans are celebrating the couple’s union, eagerly anticipating what the future holds for them.
