OH MY GOD GIRL

DOES SHE REALLY HAVE A NEW BEAU?!

[ayu-michan]

I thought Christopher was NOT her bf??!?! Turns out he is? Oh well bummer.

[ava_dreams]

If one judged by just their rings alone they look married... She clearly has an engagement ring on her finger and matching wedding rings. Do Japanese wear wedding bands/engagement rings on the left or the right hand?

I wonder if she is a sugar momma or he is also well off.

[khan5]

if im not mistaken, sometimes couples wear promise rings on their fingers just to show that they are with someone.

[Deibel]

Just saw these pics, and don't remember they're already posted anywhere (correct me if I'm wrong please!)

and i wonder how amazing it feels for her to not get recognized in public for once.

[BlackSilence]

Ayu does not even look like herself here


however she does look like in her 30s, which is good! Gosh i wish they wouldn't photoshop her so much.

BTW i just realized that the black dress look with her hair like that and red lips remind me of the Tell All photobook shoot.

[ayu-michan]

well she has a lot of rings.

one of my co-workers has that with her boyfriend, they both have rings that look like wedding ones but are not.

Spoiler:

she looks so much more asian in the last one.

[AyUmIXx]

wow she looks absolutely gorgeous on those pics with christophe and the wife.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I really am glad that she seems happy. And this guy seems so normal (for all I know he could've built a huge company) but he just looks... normal. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. He just seems down to earth... Not some guy trying to use her.

It definitely looks like something is going on between them. And I hope she's learned from her past all out in the open relationships.

So jealous of all the people who walked by her and had no idea who she was. -_-

[rikku1994]

Damn, I know Ayu's one glamorous lady but not THIS glamorous. She really looks more mature when her make-up is... uhhh... western-ish? I dunno, I think she just looks younger when her make-up is like that of a gyaru or a lolita.

Yes, this is very popular among couples here where I live (younger couples most of the time), but the convention here is to use these kind of rings in the ring finger of the right hand, so people know it's a couple ring and not a wedding ring... I don't know how it's used in other places though.

[mi|kshake]

She looks so great in these pics, esp the ones where she is wearing the more natural make up!
