Mitsuki Takahata Heads to Husband Masaki Okada’s Apartment After a Night Out with Actor Friends

On November 19, actress Mitsuki Takahata (32) and actor Masaki Okada (35) announced their marriage. The sudden announcement of their marriage, with no previous reports of their relationship, shocked the public.

The first sighting of Takahata, who appeared to be at the peak of happiness, was about 10 days before the marriage announcement. She was seen leaving a famous herbal hotpot restaurant while wearing a deep-brimmed hat and walking into a nearby bar a few minutes later.

Just before midnight, Takahata was spotted again. Along with a tall woman, actors Kôtarô Yoshida (65), who had a mustache, and Kei Tanaka (40), wearing glasses, also appeared.

“The three of them had worked together on the drama unknown (broadcast on TV Asahi) last April. The woman walking alongside Takahata was the producer of that drama. Director Tôichirô Rutô was also reportedly there. Apart from Takahata, the four of them also worked together on the hit drama ‘Ossan’s Love’ (TV Asahi). It’s possible they were discussing a new project together,” said an executive from the drama production company.

After the breakup, the first place they went was…

When the producer stopped the taxi, Takahata greeted Yoshida and Tanaka before getting in. The destination was her husband, Masaki Okada’s apartment.

In fact, this magazine had previously spotted Okada leaving the apartment in late July with his actor friends, Tokio Emoto (35) and Motoki Ochiai (34), heading out for a guys’ night. Looking back, it seems that since then, Takahata’s pick-up car had been frequently visiting his apartment. Prior to their marriage, the two had likely already been living together.

The Amazon Prime drama “1122 (Iifufu),” where they played a couple in an approved affair, served as the catalyst for their relationship. But behind the scenes, they were steadily preparing to become a real-life good couple.
