Why Did Kerem Bürsin and Melisa Tapan’s Romance End? The Rumors Were True — Here’s Why They Split!

Last August, the decision by Kerem Bürsin and Melisa Tapan to part ways hit the entertainment agenda like a bombshell. Seen for the first time after the breakup, Melisa Tapan finally revealed the reason her relationship with Kerem Bürsin came to an end.

Actor Kerem Bürsin and socialite Melisa Sabancı Tapan set sail on a new romance in May of last year. Bürsin’s comment—“We’re very happy”—made headlines at the time.

Keeping their relationship out of the spotlight, the couple faced breakup rumors shortly after going public. They denied the reports by sharing vacation photos together.

By August, whispers in the gossip columns claimed that the pair had ended their relationship due to their busy schedules. Appearing before cameras for the first time since the split, Melisa Tapan addressed the separation.

 

“WE BROKE UP BECAUSE OF OUR BUSY SCHEDULES”

When a reporter said, “There were dating reports about you and Kerem Bürsin. Recently, it also emerged that you mutually broke up due to your busy schedules,” Tapan replied, “Exactly. It happened because of our busy schedules. Thank you very much.”
