Aylin Baykal with Bill Gaard and a tabby cat in a personal photo shared October 21, 2019.
Aylin Baykal shared a new set of personal photos on her private Instagram yesterday, including two pictures with Bill Gaard and several close-up portraits taken during the same period.
The five-photo post, shared on October 21, includes a mix of informal couple shots and solo images. In the first photo, Baykal is pictured smiling while holding a tabby cat, with Gaard leaning in beside her. A second image shows the pair sitting together and laughing, giving the post a noticeably more casual feel than Baykal’s fashion and professional photography.

Baykal and Gaard have been together on and off since 2013. Their relationship has remained relatively private over the years, with personal photographs appearing less frequently than Baykal’s work-related images. The latest Instagram post puts the pair together again in an everyday setting rather than at an event, on a set or as part of a formal shoot.

The remaining photographs focus on Baykal alone. One shows her holding the same tabby cat close to her face for a portrait, while another is a softer close-up with her head resting against her hand. The final image is another tight portrait in which Baykal looks into the camera and winks.

Yesterday’s post does not appear to be tied to a project, event or promotional campaign. Instead, the images are presented as personal photographs, with Baykal sharing a small group of moments from her private life alongside the more straightforward portraits.
Baykal’s private Instagram has largely remained separate from the more formal material associated with her work. This latest set follows that distinction, with no campaign credits, production styling or commercial context attached to the photographs.
