Arzu Sabancı Breaks Silence on Hakan Sabancı and Hande Erçel’s Split
The breakup of Hande Erçel and Hakan Sabancı once again took center stage in Turkish entertainment news. After rumors surfaced claiming the Sabancı family opposed the relationship, Hakan’s mother, Arzu Sabancı, publicly responded for the first time with a social media statement.
Split Confirmed as Photos Deleted
The couple ended their relationship abruptly and deleted all joint photos from their social media accounts, making the breakup official. This fueled further speculation about family disapproval and even cheating rumors.
Cheating Allegations and Jocelyn Chew
Some social-media users alleged that Hakan Sabancı remained in contact with his ex, Jocelyn Chew, and even met her during his relationship with Erçel. Chew firmly denied the claims, writing: “Nothing could be further from the truth. Please stop dragging me into this narrative.”
Arzu Sabancı: “We Never Interfered”
“Hande is a beloved, talented, and intelligent young woman with strong values. We watched their relationship happily. The decision to break up belonged solely to Hakan and Hande; as a family, we learned about it afterward. Our sons’ private lives are entirely their own choices. We have never interfered and never will.”
She added that a previous Instagram post of hers was misinterpreted and unrelated to the breakup.
