The Love Story of Kerem Bürsin and Serenay Sarıkaya: They Met in an advertisement for Mavi Jeans , and Became Parents' to Two Dogs

Although his most talked-about romance has been with Hande Erçel, before starting his relationship with the co-star of 'Love is in the Air,' Kerem Bürsin was dating another small screen star in Turkey, Serenay Sarıkaya, with whom he had a relationship for four years. Between 2015 and 2019, the couple formed one of the strongest and most attractive pairs on the Turkish social scene. Press play on the video at the top of this news and discover what their relationship was like.


Although they were always very discreet about their romance, Serenay and Kerem became one of the most envied couples in the country. They met while filming an advertisement for Mavi Jeans, and immediately, sparks flew between them. From then on, they were inseparable. Kerem and Serenay never hid that they were in love. Throughout their four-year relationship, they were seen together on numerous occasions.

However, love didn't last, and in 2019, the couple put an end to their romance. At the time, the Turkish press speculated that the reason for the breakup was Kerem's jealousy toward Serenay's ex-boyfriend, Çağatay Ulusoy, with whom she starred in Medcezir. However, those close to them denied it, and the media eventually claimed that the reason for their breakup was their different long-term relationship views, as Kerem Bürsin wanted to start a family and had proposed to Serenay, something the actress either didn't consider at that point in her life or may have rejected because Kerem didn't accept the condition of separate assets.

The Couple Had Two Dogs

Kerem couldn't fulfill his wish to start a family and have children (something he admitted he would have liked to do before turning thirty), but they did become 'parents' to two precious dogs.


When they started their relationship, Serenay Sarıkaya already had Orpheus, but soon the couple decided to expand their family with another furry love. In 2016, the couple adopted Hector, a miniature Yorkshire Terrier who came into their lives as a puppy. During the years they were together, the couple shared their daily lives with their two pets, who became the big stars of their famous owner's Instagram.

Unfortunately, Orpheus and Hector had to be separated when the couple ended their relationship in 2019. Initially, they considered shared custody, but they realized it wasn't feasible since he lived in Istanbul and she lived in Antalya. The situation was very complicated, and ultimately, they considered that the only possible option was for each to keep one of the pets. In this distribution, Kerem kept Hector, and Serenay kept Orpheus.

Kerem Bürsin Has Denied Getting Closer to His Ex-girlfriend

Despite everything, the affection remained intact, and there have been many occasions when the media speculated about a possible reconciliation since there was still a very good vibe between them. In fact, the last time there was talk of a rapprochement was in early 2024. The news surprised the star of 'Love is in the Air,' who hastened to deny it through his social media. "In what parallel universe is this happening?" wrote the actor in response to this surprising rumor that was spreading like wildfire in Turkey.
