Irie was born in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan. During her childhood she idolized Yoshika, a fashion model from Kitakyushu, but she gained fame for her professional glamour modeling as a U-15 idol, making her debut at age 11. Her bikini pictures soon received widespread distribution over the Internet.[1] In October 2015, Saaya released her 12th photobook, and appeared in 44 solo gravure idol DVDs through 2017.

Personal life

After making her debut as a model, she still lived in Fukuoka Prefecture where she attended elementary school and middle school,[2] but moved to Tokyo when she turned 16. In August 2014, she contracted Dengue fever during the 2014 Dengue fever outbreak.[3]

On May 20, 2022, she announced on both her Instagram and Twitter accounts that she is married and that she was pregnant with her first child.[4] She later moved her entertainment activities to her husband hometown in Hiroshima.[5] On September 30, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl.[6]
