The long-rumored romance between "Taşacak Bu Deniz" lead actors Ali Öner and Zeynep Atılgan has been confirmed. Breaking his silence, Ali Öner announced that he is together with Zeynep Atılgan, stating that their relationship began after he separated from his fiancée Livanur Aydın.
The images of Ali Öner and Zeynep Atılgan, the lead actors of the series "This Sea Will Overflow," dancing together throughout the night at the season finale dinner had become a hot topic. The long-rumored "set romance" claims were confirmed by Ali Öner's statement.
Ali Öner, who made a statement after the images spread on social media, publicly announced his relationship with Zeynep Atılgan for the first time. Responding to allegations of betrayal, the famous actor stated that their relationship began after he parted ways with his former fiancée, Livanur Aydın.
"OUR RELATIONSHIP HAD ENDED BEFORE IT BEGAN WITH ZEYNEP"
Ali Öner used the following statements in his announcement:
"I have been reading what has been written for the past few days. It is not easy to tell your own life amidst a crowd. Especially when it involves people who have left a mark in your life and whom you value, it becomes even harder. I cannot disregard the feelings of anyone who has entered my life. What has happened has its right, and the effort given has its value. When something ends, not everything left behind becomes worthless. A relationship that had a long-standing place in my life had ended before any closeness began between Zeynep and me. I am saying this not to hurt anyone, but to complete something that was left unfinished.
"IT IS NOT SOMETHING FROM THE PAST AND HIDDEN"
The feeling between Zeynep and me is not something from the past and hidden, as is thought. We got to know each other over time on the same set, amidst the same fatigue and effort. Trust came first. Then came a closeness that one cannot immediately name but that opens a place in the heart. Ours did not happen with noise; it happened with time, quietly, and naturally. We tried to keep what we experienced within our own privacy. Today, I do not want anyone to be more upset. Neither the person who has a place in my past, nor the person who is with me now, nor our loved ones.
I have tried to be someone who remembers kindness, does not forget effort, and tries to stay as honest as possible. I believe that time will tell the rest more accurately. With love and respect to all our supporters."

CLAIMS CAME TO THE AGENDA AGAIN AT THE SEASON FINALE DINNER
For some time, claims had been circulating that the set friendship between Ali Öner and Zeynep Atılgan had turned into love. The duo's intimate appearance at the season finale dinner and their dancing together throughout the night brought these rumors back to the agenda. After the images rapidly spread on social media, attention turned to Ali Öner's former fiancée, Livanur Aydın.
THE ENGAGEMENT HAD BEEN CALLED OFF
Actor Ali Öner and Livanur Aydın had gotten engaged last August in a simple ceremony held among family. The couple, who were making wedding preparations, later parted ways with a surprising decision. Following the breakup, claims emerged that there was a closeness between Ali Öner and his co-star Zeynep Atılgan.
A NOTEWORTHY STATEMENT FROM LİVANUR AYDIN
Breaking her silence after the images from the season finale dinner emerged, Livanur Aydın used the following expressions in her post:
"The doubts you are sure of today were unfortunately my reality from the very beginning. Therefore, there is no need to say much about what happened; in fact, everything is already as visible and clear as it should be."
