Mert Yazıcıoğlu, the star of 'Karagül: Land of Secrets,' is making headlines in Turkey for his alleged romance with Serenay Sarıkaya, the ex-girlfriend of Kerem Bürsin. The rumors, which the actor has spoken about for the first time at the premiere of the movie 'Atatürk,' began circulating in the Ottoman country a few weeks ago when the actor praised the actress in his inner circle. From that moment, speculations began to circulate and gain strength. When he started following her on social media a month ago, rumors of a possible romance escalated.

Days after all these events, Mert Yazıcıoğlu has commented on the matter and wanted to make a joke about it with the journalists. Very calmly, he acknowledged their friendship but denied a romantic relationship with Serenay, downplaying the significance of following each other on social media and insisting that it doesn't mean anything at all. The actor remains single. "That's not the case. Do you date everyone you follow? She's my friend," the well-known actor concluded regarding Kerem Bürsin's ex-girlfriend (with whom it was rumored a few months ago that he had a connection).

He had a brief romance with Dilan Çiçek Deniz.

This alleged new romance of Mert Yazıcıoğlu comes shortly after the actor ended a brief relationship with Dilan Çiçek Deniz, who had a brief romance with Furkan Andiç in 2018, whom viewers will remember from 'Everywhere You Are.' An affair that didn't go beyond a summer romance. "These are normal things that can happen to everyone. We realized that we couldn't get along, and we decided to part ways with mutual respect," the actor said after the breakup.

The relationship with Dilan Çiçek Deniz made headlines in Turkey because it was the actor's first love story after his unexpected breakup at the beginning of the year with Afra Saraçoğlu after four years of dating.

Mert Yazıcıoğlu remains silent about his ex's relationship with Mert Ramazan Demir.

The actor's breakup with Saraçoğlu surprised all the fans of the couple and generated many rumors, especially after Kubilay Aka, one of their close friends, seemed somewhat disturbed by the closeness between Mert Ramazan Demir and the young woman at a local establishment before the couple's breakup. That's where the problems began.

After the breakup, she responded to these reports and denied the involvement of third parties with a brief statement released on her social media. "The news about us in the press in recent days does not reflect the truth. We had a very happy relationship for 4 years. However, we have decided to end our relationship, which we have been maintaining, within the framework of love and respect, with a joint decision. While we affirm that our friendship continues, we would like you to know that no third person is involved in this decision. In this very sensitive process we are going through, we ask for sensitivity to the privacy of our private life without suspecting anyone. Stay with love," the young woman said at the time.

However, after initially denying it, the relationship between Afra Saraçoğlu and Mert Ramazan Demir has been confirmed. Time has proven Mert Yazıcıoğlu's friend, who has spoken out about it for the first time this week. "These are things that happen to everyone. They just get magnified when you're a public figure. Yes, everything Kubilay said is true," the actor noted, choosing not to engage in controversies with his ex-partner. 

"Don't ask me, I won't be able to answer. Those are very ridiculous questions, and there's no need to ask those things. It doesn't matter. Let's talk about other things," he told the journalists.
