ALBAWABA - Hakan Sabancı confirms split from Hande Erçel by deleting photos.

Hakan Sabancı and Hande Erçel, a famous pair, have ended their three-year relationship. People thought that Hakan Sabancı and Hande Erçel were getting married due to the attention they received from their fancy trips and romantic moments. They have now shocked their fans by telling them they are no longer together.

Hande Erçel was the first person to do something brave. She took down all of the pictures of herself with Sabancı from her Instagram account five days ago. This moment was the first clear sign that something was wrong for many fans. Soon after, someone sent a strange message that confused everyone: it was from Hakan Sabancı's mother, Arzu Sabancı.

"Ignorance is like sleep; the first person who wakes you up makes you angry," her post said. Many people on social media saw this as a subtle reference to the split. People speculated that she might have been involved in the breakup or at least disapproved of the relationship due to the timing of her comments.

Not long after Erçel cleaned up his social media, Hakan Sabancı also deleted the pictures they had shared. However, the fact that they still follow each other on Instagram suggests that the breakup may not be as difficult for them.

There had been reports for months that they were getting ready to get married. It was clear that Sabancı loved Erçel, who is one of Turkey's most popular actresses, at family events and foreign holidays. Many of their fans were shocked and upset when they broke up so quickly.

Neither Erçel nor Sabancı has said anything publicly. Still, the fact that people are deleting memories online in public says a lot. It's still not clear whether the split was caused by family pressure, personal differences, or both.

For now, it appears that one of Turkey's most talked-about love stories has ended in a quiet and sad manner.
