posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Former Momoiro Clover (now Momoiro Clover Z) idol and actress Akari Hayami announced she will wed an office worker in his early 30s by the end of the year.
According to Sankei Sports, Hayami revealed she began dating her future spouse four years ago and that he proposed to her last year. She hadn't yet revealed the engagement to her friends in Momoiro Clover Z, but said she'll discuss her married life with them when they meet in Tokyo.
Hayami described her soon-to-be husband as a handsome 30-something company employee with a 'salty face.' He's approximately 180cm tall (5'11) and gentle. The pair met five years ago through a mutual acquaintance and bonded over shared tastes in food. They continued to go out to eat together before eventually heading to places like the aquarium and the zoo, but Hayami often had to wear a hat and face mask because of her status as a celebrity.
One year ago, he proposed to Hayami at her home with a diamond engagement ring. She said that an exact date for the wedding and reception aren't decided but she's researched ideas on the internet, adding that she's worn a wedding dress for work multiple times but is excited to finally wear one personally.
The 23-year-old actress isn't ruling out children, either, but will continue to work as usual for now.
Hayami left Momoiro Clover in April 2011 and began working as an actress. She starred as heroine Ryōko Usami in the live-action adaptation of Mitsurou Kubo's Again!! manga in 2014. She appeared in the first Gintama live-action film as Tetsuko Murata last year.
