Hande Erçel, the Turkish actress known for the TV series “Knock on My Door,” released a set of rare photos with her billionaire boyfriend Hakan Sabancı. The images were shared on Instagram, the platform owned by Meta, a company that has drawn controversy in various regions.
The photos capture moments from a hiking adventure and a yacht voyage, with scenes set in Italy and Turkey. The post appeared as a Valentine’s Day tribute from Erçel to Sabancı, underscoring a personal milestone in their relationship.
Fans have long followed Erçel’s private life as closely as her on-screen work. Last year, reports surfaced about a breakup with Kerem Bürsin, her co-star in the series Kapımı Çal. In the months that followed, media outlets highlighted Erçel’s relationship with Hakan Sabancı, a member of one of Turkey’s most prominent business families.
Despite the apparent seriousness of their bond and their joint appearances at high-profile events like the Cannes Film Festival, the couple has kept their romantic life relatively private. Erçel attended her friend’s wedding in November 2023, appearing relaxed and affectionate with Sabancı as they exchanged smiles, hugs, and a kiss on the dance floor.
In January, reports emerged that the couple was preparing for a wedding with a Turkish billionaire, signaling continued momentum in their relationship.
Earlier appearances show Erçel in stylish, fashion-forward outfits, including a mini dress worn aboard a yacht, which further cemented her status as a global fashion icon—both on and off the screen.
