Jelisaveta Orasanin and Pavle Mensur Stop Hiding

Jelisaveta Orasanin is no longer hiding who she spends her nights with. The actress is publicly dating fellow actor Pavle Mensur, who is 11 years her junior, and the pair were seen out together exchanging affection in full view of everyone.

Exclusive footage circulating online shows them in a relaxed mood. They danced, laughed, stood embracing more than once, and at one point Pavle kissed her. No more hiding in corners, no more discreet exits through the back door. The two actors behaved like a couple that has decided to stop pretending nothing is going on.

According to media reports, their relationship has lasted at least two months. What reportedly began as friendship and a working bond grew into something more serious. The age gap, it seems, is not a topic for either of them.

Is the divorce from Teodosic actually final?

This is where things get more complicated. Although Orasanin and basketball player Milos Teodosic no longer hide that they have gone their separate ways after nine years of marriage, the divorce papers have not yet been formally signed. The legal process is ongoing, and the main reason for the delay, as reported, is the division of assets.

That means the actress is formally not a free woman yet, at least on paper. In public, however, she behaves like someone who has closed one chapter and opened another. Judging by the footage, Mensur is already very much part of that new chapter.

Situations like this rarely pass quietly in the local entertainment scene. When one marriage falls apart over a property settlement and a new relationship appears in the meantime, the public usually looks for a culprit and a timeline. Who left first, when the new romance started, whether it overlapped with the old marriage. There are no official answers to those questions for now, and neither Jelisaveta nor Pavle has given statements to the media about their relationship.

What does this mean for her career and image?

Jelisaveta Orasanin has for years been one of the more recognizable faces of Serbian acting, so every move from her private life draws attention many of her colleagues do not get. A relationship with a younger colleague, at a moment when her divorce from a well known athlete is still underway, is exactly the kind of material the entertainment public follows with particular interest.

For now, the actress shows no intention of justifying or explaining herself. The footage from the night out says enough, and her decision not to hide is a statement in itself. It remains to be seen whether the couple will at some point officially confirm the relationship, or keep showing it without commenting on it.

So what do you think, is going public with a new romance before a divorce is finalized a bold move or an unnecessary risk?
