It was thought that they grew closer while working in the fashion industry, but there was almost no photographic evidence or concrete reports, and the only basis for the rumors was "sightings" around 2013. Asamiya eventually married photographer Yusuke Raike.

The rumors started when they played lovers in a commercial for the couples app "couples." The natural atmosphere of the commercial was perceived as a "real relationship," but their relationship in real life has not been confirmed.

Around the time of her divorce from Matsuda Ryuhei, rumors of her having a relationship with a young actor arose, and Yanagi's name was mentioned as a possible candidate, but the reported "characteristics" did not match Yanagi's background, so it was likely a hoax. There was also no conclusive evidence.
