Former AKB48 Yui Yokoyama surprised many by announcing that she is now married to JUNretsu member, Shota Gogami.
In a joint statement released on 2 December, the two expressed, “We will support each other and respect each other to build a happy family. No matter what happens in the future, we will face it seriously, hold mutual respect, and strive to build a happy home together.”
They also thanked the fans, saying that their continuous support enabled them to continue with their careers and pushed them forward.
“Even though we are still immature, and we hope that you will continue to protect us in the future,” they added.
Rumours of their romance sparked in October, after the two were said to be living together. This comes after Yui participated in JUNretsu’s performance in September 2024. Neither of their management companies denied this.
