Jelena Jovicic: I Plan to Marry, Honestly

- Jelena Jovicic, who turns 49 soon, confirmed on June 15 that she plans a third wedding, after two divorces.
- The actress currently plays Lepa Brena in the series Marina i Futa.

Jelena Jovicic, the actress who plays Lepa Brena in the series Marina i Futa, confirmed for the first time on June 15 that she plans to marry for the third time, after two divorces. She made the statement plainly, without hedging, something her peers on the scene rarely do when it comes to their private lives.
“I’m in a serious relationship, like a marriage. I plan to get married, honestly”, the actress said.
With that she ended months of speculation about her relationship status and whether a new marriage was even something she wanted. After two divorces, such a decision might frighten many people. Jovicic, it seems, does not see it that way.
How did the actress reach a third chance?
Jelena Jovicic’s second marriage, to Sasa Vujisic, lasted seven years. The divorce, as she has said more than once, was hard on her. She never hid that the period left a mark, and that she needed time to find her way back to herself.
With her current partner she has taken a different route. Instead of grand statements and posts, the two spent about a year building a house in the countryside. That project, now complete, became a kind of foundation for their relationship. Shared work, a shared home, and only then the conversation about a wedding.
That is exactly why her decision feels calm rather than impulsive. The house is finished, the relationship is, as she puts it, as serious as a marriage, and a third wedding is a logical next step rather than a sudden move.
What the actress is really telling us
Jovicic spoke openly about her emotions and family life, without trying to present her marriages as fairy tales or as mistakes. Two divorces did not strip her of faith in partnership; instead, it seems they changed the way she enters one.
Her case is interesting because it breaks the common assumption that after two failed marriages a person gives up on weddings. The actress shows the opposite, that experience can bring calm rather than fear, and that a marriage need not be a youthful decision to be sincere.
The parallel with the character she plays is hard to miss. Lepa Brena in Marina i Futa is a woman who does not give up, and Jovicic in her own life seems similar, ready to trust again and to build, quite literally from the foundation.
What remains to be seen is when the wedding will take place, and whether the actress, usually sparing with details about her private life, will share a little more with the public. For now, only one thing is clear: the decision has been made.
Do you think a third marriage stands a better chance when it is built slowly, through shared work and a shared home?
