Nebojsa Kostresevic, the singer better known as Nesa Twins, spoke openly for the first time on June 28, 2026 about the most painful period of his life, the stretch that followed his divorce from his second wife, to whom he had been married for nine years.
He has rarely discussed his private life, so the admission surprised even his most devoted fans. The frontman of Twins, the group that defined the 1990s, opened up about what came after the end of the marriage, a period that, he says, taught him a great deal about himself.
“After the divorce I spent a year and a half alone, something that had never happened to me before,” the singer said. He added that during that time he began to study God’s law more deeply and to turn inward, rather than rushing into a new relationship.
Why he chose to stay alone
Although, as he admits, his work surrounded him with many admirers, Nesa deliberately chose solitude. “After the shows I would pack up and leave,” he recalled, explaining that he did not want to build something new on shaky ground at such a vulnerable moment.
His advice to people going through the same thing sounds almost like a therapeutic message. “When people come out of a relationship or a marriage, my recommendation is to spend at least six months alone, to get to know yourself and decide what comes next,” the singer said.
It was out of that period of silence and self-examination that a song very close to his heart was born. The track is called Step by Step, which he describes as a personal testimony about pain, growing up and moving toward a fresh start. Anyone who has been through a breakup after years of shared life will recognize every line.
How Nesa sees that year of solitude today
Day by day, he says, he learned that being alone does not have to be a punishment. He turned the time spent without a partner into a period of working on himself, rather than an emptiness to be filled at any cost. He now describes that turn toward faith and inner peace as a decision that changed his life.
In the 1990s, Twins were one of the biggest names on the domestic scene, and Nesa and his sister Manuela still perform together from time to time. The attention the group enjoyed at the height of its fame was enormous, which makes this honest admission of vulnerability and solitude all the more unexpected.
The singer said he does not regret a single day of that year and a half. On the contrary, he sees the period as the foundation of everything that followed, and as the reason why today, he claims, he understands both himself and the people around him far better.
Would you give yourself half a year of solitude after a difficult breakup before stepping into a new relationship?
