A former Japanese girl group star has shared joyful news with fans, announcing both her marriage and 30th birthday on the same day.

Ito Nene, a first-generation member of Nogizaka46, revealed on December 12 that she had gotten married, marking the milestone alongside her 30th birthday. The announcement was made through her personal Instagram account, where she posted heartfelt wedding photos and a message reflecting on the new chapter of her life.

“I turned 30 on December 12, 2025, and I would like to share that I have gotten married,” Nene wrote. She described her husband as someone who is “serious, constantly striving to improve, and able to positively influence the people around him.”

Ito Nene debuted in 2011 as part of Nogizaka46’s first generation. After leaving the group the same year, she transitioned into acting and variety shows, including appearances on programs such as Nani on Saturday!?. In 2024, she officially stepped away from the entertainment industry.

While Nene initially kept her husband’s identity private sharing only photos of him from behind fans soon noticed that Liebé Films, the studio responsible for photographing and filming the wedding, uploaded a beautifully shot wedding video to Instagram. The video features romantic scenes of the couple walking through forests, sailing on a yacht, and posing together in a studio setting, ultimately revealing her husband’s face.

Although her spouse is a non-celebrity, the elegant visuals and cinematic storytelling quickly drew attention online, with fans congratulating Nene and praising the couple’s chemistry.

By choosing to share this moment personally rather than through traditional media, Ito Nene received warm support from longtime fans who followed her journey from idol life to her quiet transition into private life.

As she begins this new chapter away from the spotlight, many are wishing the former Nogizaka46 member happiness and fulfillment in her married life.
