Alperen Şengün and his girlfriend's Italy getaway

National basketball player Alperen Şengün, who plays for the Houston Rockets in the NBA, is vacationing in Italy with his three-year-long partner, American Hannah Cherry. Şengün, who stood out at the EuroBasket 2025 tournament where the Turkish National Team advanced to the finals, enjoyed a brief getaway with his girlfriend after a busy season.

Photos of the couple, taken in Rome and the Amalfi coast, quickly garnered thousands of likes on social media. Şengün and Cherry's intimate moments in the vacation photos were particularly striking. Users described the couple's romantic poses together as "natural and simple happiness."

The couple, who had avoided publicly sharing their relationship for three years, now received widespread coverage in both the Turkish and US press with their posts. Şengün's subsequent success on the court, this time focusing on her private life, has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Alperen Şengün made a name for himself with his performance at last summer's EuroBasket 2025, where Türkiye finished second. After completing the season, the national team player took the opportunity to relax during this holiday in Italy with his girlfriend.
