On the March 23rd issue of weekly tabloid magazine "FRIDAY", it was reported that actress Katase Nana (30) is living together with a non-celebrity man.

According to the magazine, the couple was seen dining at a Japanese restaurant and shopping together at the discount chain store 'Don Quijote'. The man is described as "a fine young man with defined laugh lines that she loves".

Katase was originally a model for fashion magazine "JJ", and is known as 'the queen of electrical appliances'. A soccer fan, she was previously reported to be dating a former soccer player about 10 years ago.

Last June, Katase commented on marriage with, "I want to have children, it's difficult to get married right away, but as soon as possible." As she turned 30-years-old this past November, she expressed, "This is the turning point of my life. I want to become happy with my private life."

During a Sankei Sports interview, Katase's agency commented, "It's true they are in a relationship, but there are no plans for marriage."

Now in the 14th year of her career, Katase currently hosts the NTV program 'Shuichi' alongside Nakayama Hideyuki. She will also star in the upcoming drama, "Kaeru no Oujo-sama", starting on April 12th.
