Sasa Kovacevic and his wife reveal the baby is a boy

On June 16, 2026, singer Sasa Kovacevic (40) and his wife Zorana shared the news they had been waiting for: a son is on the way. The couple, who have been together for nine years, announced they are expecting a baby boy, having learned the sex at a medical check-up.

“We are overjoyed that we are having a son,” the singer said, making no effort to hide his excitement. For anyone who follows his career, this is a moment he has spoken about cautiously for years, because growing the family, as he puts it, took patience and time.

Sasa and Zorana have been in a relationship for nine years. Throughout that time, the singer has said more than once, they were trying to become parents. Zorana already has a daughter from a previous relationship, whom Sasa has regarded as his own since she was two years old, so the arrival of a son is a new role for him, but not his first taste of fatherhood in everyday life.

How did the singer react when he learned a son was coming?

By his own account, the reaction was completely genuine and a little stunned. “We are very happy, we are looking forward to it. I will become a father, I am very happy. I was speechless when I found out,” Kovacevic said. That detail, a moment of silence instead of rehearsed lines, says the most about how much the news meant to him.

The singer had said on several occasions that he would love a daughter, but he always added that he would be just as happy with a son. Now that the sex has been confirmed, he holds the same view: what matters is that the baby is healthy and that the family is growing. “We have been together for nine years and we have been working on this for a long time,” he reminded everyone, putting the emphasis on the patience that came before this announcement.

What does a son mean for their family?

For a couple who planned to expand their family for so long, this is not just a sweet announcement but the closing of a long stretch of waiting. In recent years Sasa Kovacevic has carefully kept his private and public lives apart, speaking about their efforts to have a child only when he chose to. That is exactly why this announcement feels like a moment when he decided to let the public a little closer.

With the arrival of a boy, the family of Sasa, Zorana and her daughter gains a new member, and the singer takes on a role he can hardly wait for, judging by his comments. While the couple are keeping the due date and further plans to themselves for now, the news of a son has already drawn a wave of congratulations from fellow performers and followers on social media.
