Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro, 35, has tied the knot.
On the 6th, Sakaguchi Kentaro directly announced the news of his marriage through his paid fan club site.
Sakaguchi Kentaro stated, "Although it is a personal matter, I am getting married to a non-celebrity woman I have been dating. I want to continue to work harder as an actor in the future."
As he recently stirred the entertainment industry with a love triangle scandal, the Japanese entertainment industry and fans appear surprised by the sudden marriage announcement. Specific information regarding his wife's identity and age has not been disclosed.
Sakaguchi Kentaro's love triangle scandal came to light in September of last year. The Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun reported that Sakaguchi Kentaro had been in a relationship for about four years with Ms. A, a hair and makeup staff member three years his senior, and that the two were currently living together. Along with this, Shukan Bunshun raised controversy by bringing up so-called "two-timing suspicions," claiming that Sakaguchi Kentaro also maintained a relationship with actor Nagano Mei around the same time he was dating Ms. A.
It has not been confirmed whether the non-celebrity woman whose marriage Sakaguchi Kentaro announced this time is the same person as Ms. A, who was reported at the time.
Sakaguchi Kentaro, a model-turned-actor, rose to stardom after appearing in films such as "Heroine Disqualified" and "The 100th Love with You." He also made a name for himself in South Korea as a "lookalike of Seo Kang-joon" by appearing in the Japanese adaptations of "Signal" and "I'm Sorry, I Love You."
He is also active in Korean projects. In 2024, he starred in the Coupang Play-produced South Korea-Japan joint drama "What Comes After Love," and he will star alongside Lee Joon-gi in Channel A's "Kidnap Game," which is set to air this coming October.
