Popular model Yuri Ebihara (29), also known as Ebi-chan, is reportedly dating ILMARI (33) of hip-hop group RIP SLYME. According to the latest edition of FRIDAY, the pair visited a famous shrine in Ebihara's native Miyazaki prefecture, along with her family.

FRIDAY witnessed the two at the Aoshima Shrine during Golden Week. In the past, the site was a very popular spot for newlywed couples, and even now it is known for bringing luck in marriage. While the magazine was unable to get any photographs indicating a real romance, ILMARI was seen getting along well with Ebihara, her mother, her twin sister, and her brother-in-law.

Multiple sources stated that Ebihara and ILMARI have been friends for several years. However, the rapper broke up with actress Maho Nonami (29) this past March, ending a five-year relationship that many thought would lead to marriage. As a result, he reportedly became closer to Ebi-chan.

Ebihara's agency simply said that the two are good friends, while ILMARI's agency declined to comment.
