So of course there are celebrity tabloids in every country, and they'll report on the relationship status of anybody of any note, particularly actors. But it feels like it's extremely Japanese that a 20-something female actress (not even a fucking idol or anything) having a secret boyfriend would be an actual problem for her career. I mean, on the face of it, it's not scandalous in the slightest, except if you're some kind of pathetic, sweaty incel throwing a hissy fit over some hot woman you don't know getting it on with someone that's not you.
