Model and entrepreneur Saeko (39) has publicly addressed her relationship with ONE OK ROCK bassist Ryota (37) in an Instagram post on October 12.

"Currently, there is someone who is very important to me," she wrote, explaining that she wanted to share her feelings in her own words following recent reports about their relationship.

Saeko revealed that she had not imagined sharing her life with someone again, having found happiness in raising her children and pursuing her animal rescue activities. However, she described Ryota as someone who shares her values and has supported her through difficult times.

She also expressed gratitude to those who had quietly respected their privacy over the past several months.

"I hope we can continue supporting each other, laughing together, and looking toward the same future," she expressed.

Her statement follows Ryota's own Instagram announcement on October 10, in which he confirmed their relationship.
