Turkish singer Ufuk Beydemir has revealed that he is expecting his first child with Dutch musician Sharon Kovacs, ending months of speculation about the identity of his partner.
The 34-year-old singer, best known for his hit Ay Tenli Kadın, confirmed their relationship on October 12 by sharing photographs of the couple on social media, accompanied by a baby emoji.
Kovacs, who performs under her surname, also shared an ultrasound image on Instagram with the caption «Surprise».
The announcement comes nearly two months after Beydemir first revealed that he was preparing to become a father. At the time, he shared an ultrasound image but did not identify the mother.
Speaking to Turkish outlet OdaTV following the latest announcement, Beydemir confirmed that the couple are expecting a daughter in late February or early March 2027.
The musician said they were considering naming their daughter Ruby.
Who is Sharon Kovacs?
Sharon Kovacs is a Dutch singer-songwriter known for her distinctive deep voice and music combining soul, jazz and pop.
Performing as Kovacs, she gained international recognition with her 2014 single My Love and her debut album Shades of Black, released in 2015. Her music has attracted audiences across Europe, including Türkiye.
Beydemir, meanwhile, rose to prominence with Ay Tenli Kadın, which became one of his best-known songs and helped establish his career in Turkish alternative rock.
The relationship announcement follows Beydemir’s divorce from Turkish actress İpek Filiz Yazıcı, known for her roles in television series including Aşk 101 (Love 101).
The former couple married in Rome in 2022 after two years together but separated in 2025.
Beydemir’s latest announcement is the first time he has publicly identified Kovacs as his partner and the mother of their expected child.
