Turkish actress and model Hande Erçel has recently deleted all her photos with her boyfriend, Turkish businessman Hakan Sabancı, officially announcing the end of their long-term relationship.

Social media has been flooded with reactions to the breakup over the past few hours. Fans were eager for news about their wedding plans, and many were shocked to see Turkey’s most famous couple part ways, according to Turkish journalist Bersin. Erçel and Sabancı, who began dating in 2022, were frequently spotted together at major events and on luxurious trips abroad. They attended numerous international functions, including the 81st Venice International Film Festival in 2024, as well as the wedding of Lebanese designer Elie Saab’s son, Celio Saab.

Some are speculating whether Kerem Bürsin is involved in the breakup, especially after social media posts emerged suggesting a connection. The last few hours saw numerous rumors linking the Turkish actor, who previously dated Hande during the filming of the series “Sen Çal Kapımı” (Love is in the Air), to the breakup. Recently, Bürsin opened up during an interview with “ABtalks” hosted by Anas Bukhash, sharing insights about his personal life and romantic experiences.

In his interview, Bürsin mentioned that women in his life have helped him discover and love himself more. However, he also expressed a belief that his romantic relationships have been unlucky, attributing his struggles to fate. He also hinted at past relationships with friends or colleagues, describing those experiences as “absurd” and expressing deep regret about mixing friendship with romance.

Many interpret this as a possible reason for Erçel and Sabancı’s split, but no official confirmation has been provided, and it remains purely speculative.

Furthermore, Hande’s ex-beau Bürsin emphasized that women in his life have played a significant role in his personal growth, although he feels his romantic involvements have often been marked by luck and circumstances beyond his control. He also expressed remorse about entangling himself with friends or colleagues romantically, calling such experiences “ridiculous.”

Many fans and followers speculated that these revelations might have contributed to the breakup, but nothing has been confirmed.

In recent comments, Hakan Sabancı’s mother, Arzu Sabancı, addressed her son’s breakup with Erçel. She remarked, “Ignorance is like sleep. Your first reaction to anyone who awakens you is anger.” It is noteworthy that Arzu Sabancı was known to oppose her son’s relationship with Erçel from the beginning. Reports suggest that family disputes may have played a role in the breakup’s timing, although no detailed reasons have been officially stated.
