39-year-old Japanese actress Haruka Ayase, one of the top figures in Japan’s entertainment industry, has starred in numerous hit TV dramas and served as the spokesperson for many famous brands. Despite her success, she has remained single. Recently, rumors have emerged suggesting that she has been in a secret relationship with 28-year-old Jesse, a member of the idol group SixTONES and a Japanese-American mixed-race star, for nearly two years. Reports even suggest that the two are living together. Although neither party’s company has explicitly denied these rumors, they have not provided a clear response either.
According to Japanese media reports, Haruka Ayase and Jesse developed a strong bond two years ago while working together on the movie “Revolver Lily.” Sources revealed that the two initially did not start dating immediately but began their relationship as friends, carefully building their connection in private restaurant rooms. As their feelings grew, they started taking the relationship more seriously and spent a lot of valuable time together. The magazine “Josei Seven” even captured photos of Jesse frequently entering and leaving Haruka Ayase’s residence, suggesting that they might already be living together.
In the past, Haruka Ayase has typically addressed rumors about her relationships promptly. However, this time, her agency chose to remain silent, only stating, “Her personal life is her decision.” Meanwhile, Jesse, through his agency, said, “Please rest assured about personal matters! Our relationship is good.”
Haruka Ayase is known for her fresh and striking appearance and has been repeatedly voted as one of the actresses Japanese men most want to date. Her rumored past boyfriends include Takao Osawa, Tori Matsuzaka, Takeru Satoh, and South Korean actor No Min-woo, but she has never officially acknowledged these rumors.
