In the issue that goes on sale today, tabloid Josei Seven reveals a new love for actor Ichihara Hayato (25). When the hit drama ROOKIES was on air, Ichihara had openly declared his relationship with A-san, his junior high sweetheart but it looks like that romance has fizzled.

According to someone who knows A-san, the
relationship had ended about a year ago. After 11 years, it seems that
Ichihara had begun to see her more as family than a girlfriend and the
break-up was initiated by him. The friend also said that the break-up had
made A-san feel betrayed. A-san's mother said that she does not know the details but she had heard that the relationship was over.
Ichihara's new girlfriend is Mukouyama Shiho (26), an exclusive model for fashion magazine EDGE STYLE. Josei Seven published photos of Ichihara in sunglasses with the slim blonde beside him shopping together in mid-April. After shopping, they got into a car to head back with Ichihara in the driver's seat. At a red light, Mukouyama was seen snuggling close to Ichihara and giving him a kiss.
