Yuri Ebihara, the popular model dubbed "Ebi-chan," has married musician Ilmari, according to Ebihara's agency.

"We will support each other and as best lifetime partners make a warm family always filled with smiles," the 30-year-old Ebihara said in a prepared statement.

Ebihara, who at one time modeled exclusively for fashion magazine CanCam, said she and Ilmari, a 34-year-old member of the hip-hop group Rip Slyme, started seeing each other last spring.
