Actor Hiro Mizushima, Singer Ayaka Expecting 1st Child

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Singer expects to take hiatus until spring

30-year-old actor Hiro Mizushima (live-action Beck, Black Butler films) and 27-year-old singer Ayaka (Suppli, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Absolute Boyfriend themes) announced on Friday that they are expecting their first child together.

The couple married in 2009 after meeting the previous year while working on the Absolute Boyfriend live-action drama. Mizushima starred as so-shi Asamoto in the Japanese adaptation and Ayaka performed the theme song for the series. Ayaka later announced she was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disease and took time off of her career before making a steady comeback with the advice of her doctors.

Ayaka wrote, "[…]I started to have more discussions about having a child in my life with my husband, and now I have been blessed with good fortune. A tiny life has entered our lives, I pray that they are growing healthily in my tummy."

Ayaka is currently four months pregnant and plans to take a hiatus from singing until spring 2015. She is unlikely to appear on NHK's Kohaku Uta Gasssen annual New Year's Eve music program.
