At the same time, we have been blessed with a baby. We are scheduled to give birth by the end of the year." On Kawaei's work, they revealed, "She plans to continue working while taking care of her health." 

The two starred in the stage play 'Karephone', which was shown in Shanghai last October. As a result, they became "attracted to each other, and while dating, began to think about marriage."
