EXILE front man and main vocalist ATSUSHI has cleared up rumors regarding his love life. At the end of September the infamous tabloid magazine FRIDAY reported that ATSUSHI was involved with a woman in her 20s. She apparently works as a teacher in an elementary school, and had her eyes set on marriage.

Today on October 4th ATSUSHI made a post on his official Instagram account shedding some light on the rumors. He was confused as to why such an old picture was only now making headlines. ATSUSHI admitted that the two dated in the past, and revealed that the picture printed in FRIDAY was four years old. The two decided to part ways two years ago, largely in part to his studies and constant activities overseas. ATSUSHI apologized to both his fans and his ex for getting her involved in this mess with the media, and asked his fans to please respect her privacy.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Instagam entry commented on a surprise appearance the singer made at the wedding of a lucky fanclub member. While he hasn’t found that special someone to call his wife yet, he asked fans to look forward to the “resurrection” of EXILE next year. ATSUSHI is currently spending a lot of his time overseas perfecting his craft to make the comeback that much more special. The full Instagram post featuring his impressive English can be seen below.
