A source revealed to Josei7 that the couple got to know each other while filming the 2022 film "Revolver Lily" and has been secretly meeting since then.

An acquaintance of the two said: "Ayase Haruka and Jesse treat each other sincerely and have been getting to know each other for a long time."

"Jesse may be younger, but Ayase finds him gentle and reliable," this person added.

Sources also say the couple is well-matched and does not feel hindered by the age difference. When together, Jesse handles the cooking since Ayase Haruka is not skilled in the kitchen.

Born Aya Tademaru, Ayase Haruka, 39, started her career as a gravure idol in 2000. She topped Japanese magazine Shūkan Bunshun’s poll for "Most Attractive Female Star" in 2020.

Jesse, 28, was born to a Japanese mother and an American father. He joined the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates in 2006 and debuted with SixTONES in 2020.
