Sale Tropiko has spoken in detail for the first time about his split from Jovana Pajic, revealing that at his lowest point he ended up in the ER. The singer, whose real name is Aleksandar Cvetkovic, described what the day looked like when Jovana left the family apartment with their two daughters.
The two were married for 14 years. They had already been living apart for years, and only now have they officially finalized the divorce. Sale has rarely spoken about his private life, so this account is the first time he has described the situation from his own perspective, one that differs from Jovana’s earlier statements about the marriage.
What did Sale say about the day of the split?
The singer did not hide how much that moment broke him. He described feeling physically ill once he was left alone in the apartment.
“I ended up in the ER. I felt really bad. Honestly, everything felt unreal,” Sale said. He added that in those hours he could not pull himself together.
“I had no idea where I was, like my brain had short-circuited,” he said of his state. He also admitted that the thought of the children was the hardest to bear: “I couldn’t grasp what we would do now with the children.”
In those moments, he says, he called his parents for support. He describes the whole period as genuinely difficult, one of the worst he has been through.
No anger after everything
Although he admits the split was not easy, and that he and Jovana spent years building a relationship that ultimately fell apart, Sale says he holds no bitterness in his heart. On the contrary, he says everything between them has been forgiven.
“Jovana and I hurt each other more than once in life,” the singer admitted. Still, he stresses that he now looks at all of it calmly and does not want to revisit the bad parts.
The two are now, as he puts it, at a stage where their daughters’ well-being comes first. Co-parenting is their priority, regardless of the fact that the love story is over. Sale is clear that he does not plan to publicly rehash the details of the marriage or reopen old wounds, but that he cares about the children going through all of this as smoothly as possible.
This confession comes at a moment when both Jovana and Sale are each on their own path, while fans have for years remembered them as one of the more recognizable couples on the local scene. A split after 14 years of marriage rarely passes without scars, and this time the singer chose to show the more vulnerable side the public usually does not see.
Do you think an honest confession about such painful moments is something public figures should share more often, or is post-divorce pain ultimately a matter that belongs only to the family?
