She is friends with fellow manga artist Nobuyuki Fukumoto. When she appeared on "Big Comic Superior Presents: The 6th Saibara Rieko's Life Art Skill Showdown", she revealed that she had known him for 20 years, and wrote that he has been "a handsome, serious, gentle-mannered and lovely man ever since then", but he was ignored by female manga artists because of his unpopular status.

Notes
  1. Dārin wa 70-sai ("My Darling Is 70-Years-Old") is based on Saibara's relationship with the plastic surgeon Katsuya Takasu. Each year, she updates the series' title to reflect Takasu's age. For example, in 2019, the manga was serialized as Dārin wa 74-sai ("My Darling Is 74-Years-Old").[23]
