Liputan6.com, Jakarta Kentaro Sakaguchi is now caught in a dating scandal linked to a love triangle.

Secret Relationship with Mei Nagano
While maintaining this long-term relationship, Sakaguchi allegedly began a secret relationship about three years ago with popular Japanese actress Mei Nagano. The two first met during the filming of the movie "My Love Story!!" in 2015. They later worked together again, which strengthened their bond. This affair reportedly overlapped with Sakaguchi's cohabitation with Ms. A, causing a love triangle.
Mei Nagano's Controversial History
Mei Nagano's involvement adds complexity because she was earlier linked to a scandal involving married actor Kei Tanaka. This controversy had already affected her reputation before the current affair news with Sakaguchi surfaced. The overlapping relationships among Sakaguchi, Nagano, and Tanaka have fueled public and fan criticism.
