UPDATE: In a stunning announcement, former J-Pop star Miyazato Rira has revealed her marriage and recent motherhood, leaving fans and idols alike in shock. On December 31, 2025, the 23-year-old former member of AKB48 and founding member of MainTitle disclosed that she tied the knot and welcomed a baby boy.
Rira, who had kept her personal life under wraps, married a non-celebrity man three years her senior after meeting in 2021, following her departure from AKB48. The couple’s wedding took place in 2025, shortly after they learned that Rira was pregnant. She gave birth to their son in June 2025, but the news of her family expansion remained private until her recent revelation.
Social media erupted as fans expressed their surprise and congratulations. “Whoa! ! ! !?” tweeted one fan, while another exclaimed, “うお!!!(゚∀゚)”. Many were left astonished that Rira maintained such privacy about her pregnancy and relationship, carefully avoiding any hints in her social media posts.
In a follow-up interview with Nikkan Sports on January 1, 2026, Rira disclosed that even her former AKB48 group-mates were taken aback by the news. They learned about her pregnancy only six months after the birth during the group’s 20th anniversary event. Rira had to show them photos for them to believe that their “baby” has now become a mother herself.
Despite these significant life changes, Rira is not stepping away from the spotlight. She announced plans to launch her own agency and debut a self-produced girl group named Larmestone on January 28, 2026.
This dual life update signals an exciting new chapter for Rira and her fans, as she juggles motherhood with her ambitions in the entertainment industry. With 2026 shaping up to be a pivotal year, all eyes will be on Rira’s next moves.
