Dea Djurdjevic, a host on Pink television, gave birth on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. She had a baby girl and named her Iris. It is her first child, with her husband Lazar.
She spoke out almost immediately, before she even had a chance to rest. “Iris is here, I have just come out of the delivery room, everything is great,” Djurdjevic said, confirming that both she and the baby were doing well. One sentence, but enough to travel across Serbian news sites and social media within hours.
The news spread quickly because Dea had shared her pregnancy far more openly than she had ever shared her private life. In recent months she appeared in relaxed shots from walks around the city, visibly in good spirits and with no interest in dodging cameras. The baby’s name was one of the few things she kept to herself, so Iris was the first surprise to arrive alongside the birth announcement.
How did Dea and Lazar find each other again after 15 years?
The love story behind this news did not begin on a set or at a showbiz event. Dea and Lazar met back in secondary school. It was a teenage romance that ended, as most of them do, once they each went their own way.
Then came 15 years without contact. Fifteen years is enough time for two lives to drift completely apart, for cities, jobs and plans to change. The two of them met again anyway and started the relationship from scratch, this time as adults who knew what they were looking for.
That long gap is probably why they kept their relationship quiet from the start. There was no posting of every step, no showbiz appearances staged for photographers. Dea spoke about Lazar rarely and carefully, and then the pregnancy news arrived as the continuation of a story the public had never fully known.
They spent weeks preparing the home
The couple spent the final weeks before the due date getting their home ready. They arranged the space for their daughter’s arrival, picked out details and prepared the nursery, and Dea shared some of those preparations with her followers. Looking back, those posts were an announcement everyone followed, just without a firm date attached.
Now that date is known. Iris arrived on July 28, and her mother’s first words from the hospital were short and cheerful. For a host who has spent years working in front of cameras, this was one of the rare moments when a statement was not part of the job.
Congratulations started arriving straight away. Her godmother posted publicly, saying the world is richer for one more girl, in one of the first reactions to circulate online.
Iris is not a common choice on Serbian name lists, but it is not unfamiliar either. It has roots in Greek mythology, where Iris was the messenger of the gods, and the meanings most often attached to it are “the happy one” and “beautiful as a flower.” The name is popular in Greece, Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Norway and Poland.
For Dea and Lazar, this is the start of a new chapter. A story that began in secondary school, then stopped for 15 years, has had a third name in it since Tuesday.
So what about you, do you like the name Iris, and would you give it to your own child?
