When reminded of an interview he gave in recent weeks where he said he was not in contact with his son Rafael Cemo Çetin, Çetin remarked, “There was a misunderstanding.” Furthermore, regarding the relationship between his son Rafael Cemo Çetin and actress Dilan Çiçek Deniz, which has been in the tabloid headlines, he said, “I wish them happiness.”
