According to the latest issue of Josei Seven, singer Namie Amuro (32) and comedian Atsushi Tamura (36) are currently a couple. The two were apparently seen taking a trip together in the U.S. this past week.

The magazine reports that Amuro flew from Narita to Los Angeles on December 28, and Tamura followed on the next day. The pair met up there, then took a flight together to Phoenix, Arizona. On the plane, they sat in adjacent seats, and Amuro was seen sleeping with her head on Tamura’s shoulder.

Throughout their trip, which lasted 9 days and 7 nights, Amuro and Tamura were often seen cuddling up to each other or holding hands. In Arizona, they visited the scenic Sedona area and checked into a hidden resort hotel.

Amuro was previously married to SAM (47) of TRF from 1997 to 2002, and since then she has raised their 11-year-old son by herself.Although she has normally celebrated New Year’s Day with her son, she had someone else taking care of him this time while she went on her trip with Tamura.
