Tarkan's Baby Media Mash

Posted by Hatice Soylu from Istanbul, Turkey

The Turkish celeb news wires have been discussing the recent life changes of Turkish pop's megastar Tarkan.

The singer has become a dad for the first time and three celeb correspondents writing for daily Hürriyet's entertainment supplement have discussed what this could mean for Tarkan's career.

The three panellists are all of the opinion that fatherhood will benefit Tarkan and bring gravitas to his turbulent life before his marriage.

Upon claims in the media that Tarkan has hired a lactation consultant to help his wife breastfeed their daughter, the three journalists said Tarkan will do whatever it takes to do the best for the couple's daughter.

In other news wires, the baby has been called "lucky" for having a lifestyle coach so early on in life, while a correspondent for daily Milliyet has defended Tarkan about whether hiring a health professional to help his wife breastfeed was really necessary.

Elsewhere in the gossip press, there are claims that the couple are looking for a nanny for their daughter online.

It's believed they are looking for a nanny or foreign au pair to help their daughter become bilingual and to prevent leaks to celeb wires about their personal lives.

The birth of their daughter has dominated celeb wires in Turkey. An online portal has published an article about the celebrities dominating press space, using figures provided from Turkish news ombudsman Medya Takip Merkezi (MTM).

In MTM's monthly report, the birth of Tarkan's daughter is in the top ten of most reported celebrity news stories for July.

One of Turkey’s biggest pop stars, Tarkan had proudly announced the birth of his first child on social media last month.

He had shared a picture of his newborn daughter pictured in a light blue wrap and a wristband bearing her name and the date she was born with his 3 million followers on Instagram.

Arriving in their lives "like the sun", Liya Tevetoğlu was born on 12 July in Betheanien Hospital, in Moers, Germany.

Media Dominated by Baby News

Tarkan had first announced the news that he was expecting a baby back in February, in response to rumours his wife may be pregnant.

The international pop star had released a much talked about video on social media that confirmed the couple were expecting their first child.

In a 38-second video clip posted on his social media accounts, he had broken his silence to confirm rumours that he and his wife were expecting their first child.

With a beaming face, the star had leaned into the camera to whisper, "Yes it's true. I am going to be a father. It's true."

The multi-million selling hit singer married his long-term secret sweetheart in May 2016. The couple had dated for five years before tying the knot.
