Mirka Vasiljevic reveals why she never married Vujadin
The actress explains for the first time why she and Vujadin Savic, her partner of 16 years and father of her four children, never made it to the altar. She admits part of the blame is hers.
- Mirka Vasiljevic and Vujadin Savic have been together for a full 16 years, since 2009, yet have never married.
- The couple are raising four children, two sons and two daughters, still without a marriage certificate.
- The actress admits part of the blame is hers, because she overthinks every detail.
- They disagree about the wedding: he wants 800 to 1,000 guests, she wants only the closest.
Mirka Vasiljevic has, for the first time, spoken plainly about why she never married Vujadin Savic after 16 years together and four children. The actress and the former footballer have been a couple since 2009, but they have still not signed a marriage certificate. A story that has intrigued the public for years now finally has a first-hand explanation.
The two met while Vujadin was still playing football, in an era when moving from city to city was part of everyday life. His career took him from one league to the next, and the family followed. In that constant merry-go-round, a wedding never reached the top of the list. There was always something more pressing: a new contract, a new apartment, a new baby.
So who is really to blame for no wedding?
The answer surprised many, because Mirka does not pin the blame on her partner. Quite the opposite. She admitted that the problem, at least in part, lies with her. She says she overthinks every detail, wants everything to be perfect, so the planning drags on and never reaches the finish line. Vujadin, she claims, is her complete opposite. He would, she says, sort it all out with a few phone calls and stand before the registrar within days.
That is where the second sticking point lies. The two disagree about what the wedding should even look like. Vujadin dreams of a grand celebration, mentioning a figure of 800 to 1,000 guests. Mirka, on the other hand, wants an intimate gathering, only the closest people and a calm day without pomp. Add her tendency to postpone to their opposing ideas of a party, and it becomes clear why a date has never been set.
Do they even miss being married?
From everything the actress has shared, the family hardly seems to function any worse for the lack of paperwork. Four children, a shared home and a decades-long relationship suggest the foundation is there without a signature. Mirka does not hide it. For her, a wedding is not a condition for feeling secure in the relationship, but a lovely formality that may or may not happen. When the right moment comes, she says, there will be a wedding too.
Interestingly, members of the family have also spoken publicly about their relationship, confirming that the issue was never about feelings, only about organisation and the pace of life. A football career, frequent moves and four children simply pushed the registrar to the back of the queue.
One question remains, one even Mirka has no precise answer to: will the wedding ever happen, or is their formula, 16 years without paperwork, already proof in itself that they do not need the formalities? And what do you think, does a long relationship and four children mean more than a single signature in the marriage register?
