The high-profile couple of SMAP's Goro Inagaki and actress Miho Kanno has broken up, it was learned on Thursday. Ever since their relationship was first discovered in 2000, there has been reports of an imminent marriage, but it appears those rumors have finally been put to rest.

It is believed that their busy careers are the cause of the split, but neither of them have given an official comment yet. Management for both celebrities have also declined to comment on the private matter.
