In mid-2008, it was reported in Japanese tabloid newspapers Shūkan Bunshun and Tokyo Sports that Maria was dating J-pop star Koki Tanaka from the group Kattun. Ozawa neither confirmed or denied the rumors, telling reporters "If I’m dating someone I will stay devoted to him! I have a rule against sex friends. It’s not a good thing, plus having one boyfriend is enough". Damn, that'a a real shame!
