Sairi Ito announces her marriage. Two and a half years after the two-shot shooting, she overcame the “two-timing” allegations of a scriptwriter 18 years her senior.

Actress Sairi Ito (30), who played a major role as the host of NHK’s “Kohaku Uta Gassen,” announced her marriage to Ryuta Horai (48), a screenwriter who is 18 years older than her.

On January 4, on “Sairi Ito’s saireek channel,” an Internet radio program in which she serves as MC, she announced her marriage to Horai Ryuta (48), a screenwriter who is 18 years older than her.

I, Sairi Ito, have decided to marry Ryuta Horai, a playwright and director with whom I have been in a relationship for some time!　We are married!

She made the happy report to her fans.

It was in April 2010 that this magazine reported Ito’s first romance. What surprised the public even more was the age difference between her and Mr. Horai.

Ito and Horai came close to each other in 2009 when Ito played the heroine in “The Decapitated Prince and the Foolish Woman,” a stage play written and directed by Horai. The January 1 Sports Nippon reported that the two have told people around them that they have decided to get married by the end of this year.

On an evening in early April 2010, Friday found the couple in a downtown area of Shibuya Ward, crowded with businessmen after work. Sairi Ito was wearing a navy cap and a loose-fitting shirt. A dandy man with white hair who was chatting with her in a friendly manner was Mr. Horai.

Mr. Hourai made a strong approach to her and they started dating,” said an acquaintance of Ito.

The group entered a reasonably priced sushi restaurant, enjoyed their meal for about two hours, and left.

The group enjoyed their meal for about two hours and left the restaurant!

The interview team directly interviewed the two, who were on their way home at the time, and found out that they had been together for about two hours.

–Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s Friday.

Ito: “Er, seriously, seriously. So this is what it’s like (laughter). I’m so surprised!”

–Is it true that you two are dating?

Ito: “What?　Why⁉ Hahaha. (while looking at Hourai) What should I say?

Hourai “I guess so.”

–I thought it might be the birth of a big couple.

Ito “No, no, no~ (laughing)”

–You live together, don’t you?

Hourai “How can I say such a thing ……”

Ito “I don’t know how to say that~”

Horai “It’s difficult.

Ito: “It’s a difficult part, and (blowing out laughter). （Ito “It’s a difficult part, and (blowing out a laugh)!　When you say “great”, it’s already ……. It’s not that I have to hide it because I’m not an idol, but it’s difficult to say something like that, isn’t it? It’s not that I have to hide it, but it’s difficult for me to say what my manager wants to do. The vision I have for myself and the vision my manager has for me are different.

–So you two have a close relationship?

Horai: “Yes, we do.

Ito: “That’s the one I hear a lot about (laughs). After all, that’s where entertainers land, isn’t it? In that case, is it better to be just “friendly”?　Because “We are friends” is already a lie. (Looking at Hourai) Tell him we are friends (laughs).

(laughs) — Did you get close to each other suddenly at the play you worked on in June ’21?

Horai “No, it wasn’t like that at all at that time.

Ito: “I was just an ordinary director at that time (laughs).

–Thank you for answering quite a few questions.

Horai “It’s better not to talk too much, isn’t it?”

Ito “Oh, I see! (laugh)”

(Laughter) –You talked enough.

Ito “Hahaha. I can write enough (articles) (laughs). I’m glad.”

–The two of you are talking and taking care of each other.

Horai: “Yes, I think her work is the most important thing.

Ito was trying to answer the question in his own words, looking at Hourai’s eyes and discussing the answer to the question. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, with both parties taking care of each other. After the direct interview, Ito said

I’m sorry, it’s cold out here. Thank you. Thank you for your hard work.

He bowed deeply and left.

The reporter felt that he understood why Ito was so loved by the reporter.

Suspected two-timing with another actress

The day after the report of their love affair, Ito admitted their relationship on SNS with the hashtag “#18yearsage difference,” while his older brother Shunsuke Ito of the comedy duo Oswaldo wrote

Shunsuke Ito, the older brother of the comedy duo Oswaldo, tweeted miserably, “Both M-1 and my sister were won by my uncle.

He tweeted miserably, “My sister won M-1 and my uncle won M-1.

However, it was not all smooth sailing for the two.

Just nine days after the initial report in this magazine, Bunshun Online reported Horai’s “two-timing” love. The other party was actress Tamayo Suzuki (30), with whom he spent the night at Suzuki’s apartment the day before the initial report in this magazine. In response, Ito updated her Twitter page on the same day,

It’s hard to send out a message, but as the article says, I know they are friends.

Ito updated his Twitter page on the same day, saying, “It’s difficult to send out a message, but as the article says, I know that they are friends,

I know Mr. Horai more than anything else. I don’t mean that I believe him, but I know him.

I don’t mean that I believe you, but I know you,” he said. At the time, social networking sites were filled with words of praise for Mr. Ito.

In the year of ’24, Ms. Ito had many high-pressure jobs such as being the heroine of NHK’s morning drama “Tora ni Tsubasa” and hosting the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Singing Contest). Ms. Horai’s continuous support for her restored her trust in him. I think it was this kind of accumulation that led them to make the big decision to get married.

Ito is heading straight down the road to becoming a great actress. We wish her a long and happy life.
