Did Arzu Sabancı Finally Give Her Blessing? Hande Erçel and Hakan Sabancı Hint at Marriage!

Hande Erçel and Hakan Sabancı often find themselves in the spotlight due to recurring breakup rumors. Even though their relationship has been going strong, their silence has only fueled the gossip. Most recently, Erçel responded to these rumors with a series of romantic photos from their Maldives vacation, proudly putting their love on display.

Back in Istanbul after their trip, the couple spoke to reporters at the airport and, for the first time in a long while, clearly addressed the breakup rumors. Hakan Sabancı also didn’t shy away from the marriage question — even admitting that the door to marriage is "slightly open."

Here’s what happened…

Hande Erçel first stepped into acting with the TV series Güneşin Kızları. Known for her beauty, she’s also sparked some debate over her acting skills — yet she remains a prominent figure in the spotlight.

Erçel quickly climbed the ladder of fame with roles in popular shows like Sen Çal Kapımı, Halka, and Siyah İnci. Most recently, she grabbed attention with her performance in the movie Rüzgara Bırak, where she starred alongside Barış Arduç.

Her transition into film was well received by audiences, and her growing confidence could be felt through her vibrant presence on social media.

However, she had been staying out of the public eye for a while — especially after a heartfelt post about her manager Ayşe Barım. That is, until she shared a flood of vacation photos from the Maldives…

Their trip to the Maldives came right as rumors of a breakup were at their peak.

When Hande didn’t post anything for hours on Hakan’s birthday, many fans started to wonder, “Did they break up?” But eventually, she did share a post — and the rumors quieted down for a while.

Still, speculation returned not long after. But Erçel put an end to the chatter with more photos from their Maldives getaway, this time including Hakan Sabancı himself.

For those who follow the gossip columns closely, you’ll recall that Erçel was once dubbed “the unwanted bride.” But then she received major praise for her appearance at Paris Fashion Week, especially when she posed with Donatella Versace. When Arzu Sabancı left a heart emoji on one of those photos, fans wondered — was that a sign of softening?

Whether Arzu Sabancı has had a change of heart or not, one thing seems certain: the couple is seriously considering marriage.

Speaking to reporters at Istanbul Airport, the couple seemed relaxed and cheerful.

“Weren’t you guys supposed to stop coming to the airport?” they joked with the press before giving updates about their relationship.

Hakan was the first to speak:

“We’re in a very happy relationship. People keep talking about us, and honestly, I don’t understand why.”

Then Hande added, “As you can see, everything is going perfectly fine.”

Naturally, the question of marriage came up.

Hakan replied, “For now, we’re just talking about it.”

Hande, for her part, simply smiled.

Will we be hearing happy news soon?

Let’s wait and see.
