The private life of Hakan Sabancı and Hande Erçel has once again taken center stage in the tabloid agenda. In 2018, Sabancı had a brief relationship with Chinese model Jocelyn Chew, during which he went on a romantic getaway to Cappadocia with his then-girlfriend, a trip that was talked about for a long time. Years passed, and this time Sabancı made headlines with his romance with actress Hande Erçel. The couple frequently shared vacation photos and appearances at events on social media. However, this relationship has also reached its conclusion. Following the events, Arzu Sabancı made a statement on her social media page, saying, "I had shared the Hande photos long before deleting them. Since the quoted text has no connection to the matter, I thought it would be noticed and didn't delete it afterward, but it was still misinterpreted."
PHOTOS DELETED, BREAKUP CONFIRMED Recently, Sabancı and Erçel parted ways abruptly. The removal of all their shared photos from their social media accounts formalized the breakup. Initially, claims emerged that Arzu Sabancı was not supportive of marriage and did not approve of the relationship. However, new rumors following the breakup complicated the situation further.
After the breakup, Hakan Sabancı was spotted enjoying himself with friends, displaying cheerful behavior. In contrast, Hande Erçel appeared quite downcast in front of the cameras, which fueled "betrayal" allegations.
BETRAYAL ALLEGATIONS SHOOK THE SCENE A comment that surfaced on social media drew attention to Jocelyn Chew. Allegations arose that Sabancı was still in contact with his ex-girlfriend. Some users even claimed that he met with Chew again during his relationship with Hande Erçel, suggesting that this extended to the days of the Bocelli concert. It was further claimed that Sabancı is currently on vacation in Bodrum with Chew.
Following the allegations, Jocelyn Chew made a statement. The model, who shared on her social media account, categorically denied the rumors, saying, "There could not be anything further from the truth. Please stop bothering me with this narrative. You are trying to create something out of nothing. I have no connection to this."
ARZU SABANCI BROKE HER SILENCE After Hande Erçel and Hakan Sabancı, the famous businessman’s mother, Arzu Sabancı, also broke her silence. Sabancı spoke for the first time after the surprise breakup. In a post on her Instagram account, she stated, "You may ask why this explanation now after some time has passed.. I had written the text below a long time ago, but when I received very sad news at that time, I did not want to write and express this issue. Now, I wanted to write because it upset me to be portrayed as someone I am not. I had shared the quote that I saw from a friend long before Hande deleted the photos. Since the quoted text has no connection to the matter, I thought it would be noticed and didn’t delete it afterward, but it was still misinterpreted. Hande is a beloved person by everyone, successful in her art, elegant, intelligent, and a young girl with great values. I watched them happily throughout their relationship. The decision to separate belongs to Hakan and Hande; we, as a family, learned about it later. Our sons' private lives are entirely their choices and decisions. We have never intervened in this process and will not. It saddens me to be portrayed as someone I am not. But even if I write this, everyone will believe what they want to believe; I still wanted to share my truth from here."
