Former Nogizaka46 member Matsumura Sayuri, a popular Japanese idol, announced her marriage and pregnancy at the same time, sending ripples across the archipelago.

On the 3rd, Matsumura Sayuri posted wedding photo shoot pictures taken with her pet dogs on her personal SNS account. Along with these, she personally announced her marriage and pregnancy.

In the post released with the wedding photos, she explained, "This time, along with my marriage, I have gained a precious new life." She denied marriage rumors when dating rumors first surfaced in May last year, but about a year later she announced her marriage and pregnancy at the same time.

Matsumura Sayuri's husband was earlier reported to be an older company employee working at a corporation in Tokyo, Japan. According to foreign media, they married after about two years of dating. Her pregnancy is also said to have now entered a stable period.

Matsumura Sayuri debuted in 2012 as a first-generation member of Nogizaka46, a popular Japanese idol group. Nogizaka46 was regarded as the most popular local girl group in Japan. Among them, Matsumura Sayuri was evaluated as a member who led the group's heyday, participating in many hit songs including "Kimi no Na wa Kibou" (Your Name Is Hope).

However, about 10 years into her activities, she left the team after a graduation concert in 2021. Since then she appeared on Japanese variety shows and drama and transitioned to a career as a television personality and actor.
