Turkish star Hande Erçel has dominated social media following a Turkish newspaper’s report that her relationship with fiancé, businessman Hakan Sabancı, has suddenly ended, despite earlier expectations that the couple was close to marriage.

After the breakup news spread, Erçel deleted all photos featuring her fiancé from her Instagram account, and the same photos disappeared from his account as well, lending credibility to the circulating reports, while no official statement has been issued by either party as of the time of writing.

Fans React with Shock and Disappointment

The sudden end of the relationship sparked widespread reactions, with many expressing shock over the conclusion of a romance that lasted nearly three years, especially after the couple had recently appeared together at the wedding of designer Elie Saab’s son, showing clear signs of harmony.

Some followers expressed disappointment, while others wished both of them happiness separately, suggesting that the breakup may have been due to personal or family reasons that have not been disclosed.

Erçel Returns to the Artistic Spotlight

Alongside the attention on her personal life, Erçel has returned to trending topics in the entertainment world after clips from the behind-the-scenes of her new series “Love and Tears” alongside actor Barış Arduç circulated. Fans praised the visible “chemistry” between the two and expressed their excitement to follow the highly anticipated series.
