London Boots comedian Atsushi Tamura, 36, and singer Namie Amuro, 32, have been outed by weekly tabloid Josei Seven as the new couple of 2010, by reporting on the pair’s top secret trip to Arizona over the New Year.

Josei Seven’s issue out Wednesday has photos of the couple, who first met at a party last summer, holding hands and leaning on each other’s shoulders, all the while smiling along.

Amuro flew out of Narita airport on Dec 28 on a flight to Los Angeles, and Tamura flew out on Dec 29. The pair were spotted together boarding a domestic flight for Phoenix, and Amuro was seen napping on Tamura’s shoulder during the flight.

Tamura and Amuro were later seen checking into an exclusive resort in Sedona, famous for its beautiful array of sandstone formations.
Both of their offices declined to comment on their week-long stay in the U.S.
