Mako Komuro, who gave up her Japanese royal title to marry a commoner, has been seen living a quiet suburban life in the U.S. with her husband and their infant child.
The New York Post reported on Sunday that recent sightings place Mako and her husband Kei Komuro in Fairfield County, Connecticut, where the couple has reportedly relocated after several years in New York City. The pair were photographed visiting local shops, with Mako dressed casually and carrying a shopping bag and Kei carrying the infant in a sling.
The family is believed to live in a townhouse worth US$680,000 in suburban Connecticut, a quieter setting than their previous home in Hell’s Kitchen. Despite their high-profile background, the couple has consistently maintained a low public profile.

Mako, 35, is the first child of Prince Akishino, Japan Emperor Naruhito’s younger brother, and his wife, Princess Kiko.
She relinquished her royal status in 2021 upon marrying Kei, as required under Japanese law for female members of the imperial family who marry commoners, and subsequently moved to the U.S. with him. The decision drew widespread attention and debate in Japan.
The couple has reportedly remained financially independent from Japan’s imperial household and has largely avoided public attention. Even the birth of their child was confirmed only in limited terms by the Japanese royal family, which said both mother and baby were in good health while respecting the couple’s desire for privacy.
The infant is not in line for the Japanese throne, as succession laws restrict inheritance to male heirs in the paternal line.
