Masaki Okada Caught Drinking with Another Girl after Reports of Break-up with Fuji announcer Yui Suzuki

On a night in December 2022, at the end of the year, a couple was drinking at a tavern in Hatagaya, Tokyo. They were Maki Fukuda (34) of the comedy trio “Heroine at 3 o’clock” and actor Masaki Okada (33).

After drinking for three and a half hours, they went to pay the bill. It was past 10 pm. Not wanting to let the handsome man leave, Fukuda leads Okada down the shopping street. Okada was relatively quiet at the first bar, but by the time they left the second one, he was in high spirits and laughing as they entered the third one. However, the day was supposed to be a special day for Okada. It was the birthday of Yui Suzuki, 29, a Fuji Television announcer with whom Okada is reportedly dating.

“Post Seven” distributed on January 8 reported the breakup of Okada and Suzuki. According to “Post Seven,” Okada broke up with Suzuki at the end of 2022. Suzuki, who was not convinced, was unable to lift the luggage she had left at Okada’s home, but Okada told her that he wanted her to take it all home with her.

“The year 2022 was a ‘winning year’ for Okada-san,” Suzuki said. The movie “Drive My Car,” in which he appeared, grossed over 1.3 billion yen at the box office and won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film and the London Film Critics Circle Award for Best Screenplay. The drama in which he starred, “The Travel Nurse” (TV Asahi), recorded an average viewer rating of nearly 13%. As an actor, he wanted to work more and grow as an actor.

Anna Suzuki, on the other hand, had begun to seriously consider marriage with Okada. She happily told everyone around her about their relationship. It is said that Okada, who wanted to concentrate on his work, was troubled by his relationship with Suzuki and decided to break up with her.

The scene of the “luxury car date” at the time of their relationship

FRIDAY caught Okada and Suzuki on a date in April 2021. Okada was driving a luxury foreign car, and Suzuki was in the passenger seat. When the car pulled up in front of a vintage condominium in a quiet residential area, Suzuki waved a small “bye-bye” and walked inside. Okada watched her enter the condominium, then slowly started the car.

He said, “They first met in the summer of ’20, through an acquaintance. Their relationship began in December of 2020. I heard that it was shortly after Suzuki interviewed Okada at the completion announcement preview of the movie “Sankaku mado no gai wa yoru” in which Okada appeared. It is possible that the two, who had met in private, met again at the scene of the interview and developed a relationship.

The magazine has frequently seen the two of them coming and going from each other’s apartments since then. When we directly interviewed Suzuki before going to work to ask about his relationship with Okada, he was reluctant to answer, “the company will answer in my behalf” but he also commented in a relaxed manner, “I can’t think straight early in the morning.”

It’s hard work so early in the morning.

Three years have passed since they started dating. It seems that a rift has developed between the two of them before they knew it.

Let’s go back to the “drinking date” with Fukuda, the heroine of “Heroine at 3 o’clock,” when the two were drinking at the same time Okada broke up with Suzuki. Moreover, it was on Suzuki’s birthday. Is Fukuda the “new girlfriend?”

After leaving the third izakaya, two women who appeared to be Fukuda’s junior joined them, and after leaving the third izakaya, the junior women took a cab home, leaving Okada alone with Fukuda again. However, Okada dropped her off at her apartment, bowed deeply, and returned home immediately. It seems that Okada and Fukuda are just drinking buddies.

With Okada’s enthusiasm for his work and Suzuki’s seemingly unforgettable happy life with her boyfriend, one wonders what new encounters await him in 23 years.
