Kerem Aktürkoğlu married Ceren Azak on 29 May 2025 in Kocaeli, turning a private milestone into the latest update in the life of one of Turkish football’s most followed names. The Fenerbahçe forward, 27, is now being searched as much for his family news as for his form on the pitch.
That interest is easy to explain. Aktürkoğlu was born on 21 October 1998 in Gölcük, Kocaeli, is said to be originally from Rize, and has built a career that took him from Hisareynspor to Başakşehir, 24 Erzincanspor, Galatasaray, Benfica and then Fenerbahçe in the 2025 summer transfer window. For readers asking who he is today, the answer is simple: a national-profile footballer whose personal life now sits alongside a busy club career.
Ceren Azak, his wife, works as a child development and education specialist. The pair’s marriage in Kocaeli came after Aktürkoğlu’s move from Galatasaray to Benfica in 2024 and before his switch to Fenerbahçe for the 2025-2026 season, a timeline that keeps him in the spotlight both at home and abroad. He was also drawn into wider football conversation after European press called him “Türk Büyücü” for his Benfica performances in the Champions League, while his Harry Potter-themed “Expelliarmus” celebration became one of the most recognizable gestures in world football.
There is, however, one detail that does not sit neatly on the page. The update says Aktürkoğlu has no child yet, but it also says he announced in April 2026 that he and Azak were expecting their first baby. That leaves readers with a clear snapshot of the moment and one unresolved point: the story confirms the pregnancy update, but not the birth itself.
For now, the facts point to a player whose private life has moved forward as his football career continues. He is married, he is with Fenerbahçe, and the next family update will be whether the first baby arrives as expected in April 2026.
