Doubts over relationship after Adriana Lima unfollows Turkish boyfriend on Instagram

ISTANBUL

Rumors have begun to brew over the relationship between former Victoria’s Secret top model Adriana Lima and Turkish writer and self-styled new age “guru” Metin Hara, after Lima unfollowed him on Instagram.

Hara and Lima have been together since they were seen kissing passionately at Istanbul’s Atatürk International Airport on July 10.

They later confirmed their love affair after holidaying together in Bodrum. The couple also went to Miami for a romantic trip in October.

Despite unfollowing Hara, Lima has not deleted photos of the two taken together on her account.

Hara, 35, has written a number of books on self-improvement and positive energy. He published his debut book “Path” in 2014, which was followed by a trilogy called “Invasion of Love.” The book became a bestseller within three months in Turkey and sold over 100,000 copies.

His book was translated into English shortly before his relationship with the Brazilian supermodel began.

Some have claimed the Lima-Hara relationship is a publicity stunt. Hürriyet columnist Cengiz Semercioğlu suggested that the relationship was fabricated in order to promote Hara’s book in English.
