| Takahashi Kaito & Arimura Kasumi’s Noona Romance Still Going Strong – Secret Dates, Same Flat, and Friend Intros! |
Looks like that ‘breakup’ might’ve just been a smokescreen after all. According to a new report from Shukan Bunshun, 26-year-old King & Prince member Takahashi Kaito and 32-year-old actress Arimura Kasumi are still going steady—quietly, but seriously.
The couple, first rumoured to be dating back in late 2022 after co-starring in the drama Onee-chan no Koibito, were said to have broken up last summer due to pressure from fans and clashing views on marriage. But it seems that wasn't the full story. Sources claim the two simply put up a public front, creating some distance while continuing their relationship off the radar.

Bunshun’s latest scoop says Takahashi and Arimura are actually living in the same apartment building, though in separate units—yep, the “half-living together” arrangement is apparently still on.
And it’s not just a quiet rekindling, either. Around spring this year, Kaito reportedly brought Kasumi along to a private gathering with close friends and introduced her, suggesting things are getting more serious.
Word is, even when they’re not spotted together, Arimura’s often seen waiting in the area near Kaito’s favourite local bar—and occasionally picks him up by car. According to eyewitnesses, the King & Prince star has no qualms casually telling people “she’s coming to get me” before heading off with her. No hiding it when it comes to the inner circle, apparently.

While neither of their agencies have commented on the latest round of romance rumours, fans are already buzzing. Some are happy the pair might still be going strong, while others—especially more protective supporters of Kaito—remain a bit frosty about the 6-year age gap and the secrecy.
Takahashi reportedly moved into a separate flat last year as a cover after their relationship first hit headlines. But sources say that even during that “breakup” period, the pair kept in contact and slowly returned to their same-building set-up.
And Kaito’s not the only one in King & Prince making headlines lately—bandmate Nagase Ren was recently spotted on a cosy date with actress Hamabe Minami, sparking another round of agency-ignoring dating news.
So is this the quiet continuation of a noona romance fans thought was over? Or a strategic underground love story far from the public eye? Either way, one thing’s for sure—Takahashi Kaito and Arimura Kasumi’s relationship hasn’t fizzled out just yet.
