Is Pelin Akil getting married? What did Diyar from Yalı Çapkını say about the wedding rumours?
Pelin Akil (Diyar)
Short answer
No. Pelin Akil, who played Diyar in Yalı Çapkını (The Golden Boy) and Zehra in Arka Sıradakiler, denied a social-media rumour that she was "getting married" in an Instagram post on 12 September 2026. As quoted by Habertürk and Milliyet, she wrote: "So I'm getting married. God bless them, whichever me that is. Go and check whether I'm even at that wedding. Still, for the friends who got excited or curious, here is my statement: there is no such thing." The sources do not agree on whom the rumour concerned; according to Haber Aktüel, the claim was that she would remarry actor Anıl Altan, whom she married in 2016 and divorced on 27 August 2025, and their frequent meetings for their twin daughters Alin and Lina had fed the speculation. As of 14 September 2026 this denial is the only official statement; there is no wedding or engagement.

14 September 2026 — Pelin Akil, known to a wide audience as Diyar in Yalı Çapkını, entered the weekend's celebrity news not with a wedding but by denying a wedding rumour. According to a report Habertürk Magazin published at 20:13 on 12 September 2026, posts claiming the actress had married or was about to marry had been circulating on social media; the same day Akil rejected the claim with a short, sarcastic statement on her Instagram account. Milliyet ran the story under the headline "lightning-fast statement", Takvim stressed the "witty denial", and the post quickly became one of the most-shared pieces of celebrity content of the day.
The statement in full
As quoted by Habertürk and Milliyet: "So I'm getting married. God bless them, whichever me that is. Go and check whether I'm even at that wedding. Still, for the friends who got excited or curious, here is my statement: there is no such thing." Haber Aktüel reports the same statement with slightly different wording; this page uses the text shared by the two major newspapers. Akil's tone shows she did not take the claim seriously but did not want to leave her followers' curiosity unanswered. The line "whether I'm even at that wedding" suggests the rumour grew out of a wedding post, but the reports do not say which one.
What was the rumour, and where did it come from?
Here the sources diverge. Habertürk and Takvim write that a "getting married" claim spread on social media but name no one. Haber Aktüel and Life Magazin describe it more concretely: the claim was that Akil would remarry her former husband, actor Anıl Altan, whom she divorced in 2025; according to Haber Aktüel, the former couple's frequent meetings for their twin daughters had fed that reading. This page does not name a person the sources do not agree on: the object of the rumour is unclear, its denial is certain.
Marriage, twins, divorce
According to Habertürk, Pelin Akil and fellow actor Anıl Altan married in 2016; Haber Aktüel writes that they met on the set of Arka Sıradakiler. Their twin daughters Alin and Lina were born in 2019. The marriage ended on 27 August 2025, the date given by Habertürk; Milliyet reported that the divorce was concluded in a single hearing. According to Haber Aktüel, the former spouses continue to cooperate over their daughters. The reports reviewed contain nothing about the grounds or terms of the divorce, and nothing is written about them here.
Pelin Akil's career
According to TMDB records she was born in Istanbul on 17 April 1986. She made her name as Zehra Güngör in Arka Sıradakiler, which began in 2007 and in which she appeared in 193 episodes; she then played Seçil in Seksenler (30 episodes), Nisan/Nur Ağazade in Suskunlar (2012, 12 episodes), Zeynep Gevher in Kızılelma, İsabel in Barbaroslar: Akdeniz'in Kılıcı (32 episodes) and Firuze Turan in Ben Bu Cihana Sığmazam (68 episodes). In Yalı Çapkını, which began in 2022, she appeared as Diyar in 28 episodes. Suskunlar and Yalı Çapkını have their own pages on this site.
What does this have to do with Yalı Çapkını?
Nothing, as far as the story goes: according to TMDB, Yalı Çapkını ran from 23 September 2022 to 4 April 2025 and ended after 3 seasons and 101 episodes, and the Diyar character belongs to that completed story. The file sits here because the question that brings Akil to this site is "is the actress who played Diyar getting married?" The answer, in her own words, is no.
What is known and what is not
Known: the rumour existed, its date (12 September 2026) and Akil's Instagram denial; the 2016 marriage, the twins born in 2019 and the marriage that ended on 27 August 2025. Unknown: the post the rumour was based on, whom the claim pointed to (the sources diverge) and whether Akil is in a relationship.
