Shimizu married singer Mika Nakashima in 2014.[6] On February 2, 2018, Nakashima announced that she and Shimizu were getting a divorce.[7][8] The decision was mutual, as they both agreed that they don't see each other enough and that it would be best to divorce. They both agreed that the time they spent together was irreplaceable. There are no hard feelings and they will remain friends and continue to support each other and pursue their dreams.
