Actor Eita (26) and singer Kaela Kimura (24) are currently dating, it was learned on Thursday. Their relationship was revealed in the latest issue of Josei Seven, which included pictures of the pair together.

According to the magazine, Eita was driving home to his Tokyo apartment on the night of September 5, and Kimura was in the passenger seat. Eita had just arrived in Japan that same day, returning from the Montreal World Film Festival where he attended the screening of Miwa Nishikawa's "Dear Doctor."

Eita's agency confirmed that the two are seriously dating. His management explained that they were introduced to each other by a mutual friend and started going out in late August. Kimura's agency also confirmed the news.

In July, Eita was reported to be dating actress Mami Yamasaki (23), but that rumor was denied. Kimura was previously in a long relationship with rapper SU (35) of RIP SLYME.
