Overseasidol.com — Matsui Jurina, former SKE48 member and winner of the 2018 AKB48 World General Election, has officially tied the knot.
Her partner is Tsujimoto Tatsunori (34), a member of the popular male group BOYS AND MEN.
According to Japanese media reports, the couple submitted their marriage registration this month and are scheduled to hold a joint press conference in Tokyo next week.
Details regarding their wedding ceremony and reception have yet to be announced.
The news was officially confirmed by Tsujimoto’s agency via its website, followed by a personal statement from Tsujimoto on his social media platform X.
He expressed gratitude for the support and promised to share more details during the upcoming press conference.
The couple first met in late 2014, when Tsujimoto was handing out promotional flyers near Nagoya Station and encountered Matsui and other SKE48 members.
Years later, they reconnected through mutual acquaintances. Their relationship grew closer in 2022, after Tsujimoto invited Matsui on a camping trip with friends, which eventually led to a romantic relationship.
Sources revealed that Matsui was facing personal struggles and health issues at the time. Spending time in nature and engaging in heartfelt conversations helped deepen their bond.
After three years of dating, the couple chose to announce their marriage through a formal press conference rather than social media.
This decision was reportedly inspired by the heartfelt wedding press conference of comedian Yamato Ryota and actress Aoi Yu.
For Matsui Jurina, marriage holds special significance. She has previously shared her dream of creating a loving family after experiencing her parents’ divorce at a young age
