- Actress Jelena Grujicic Mur has announced she is expecting her second child
- She revealed her bump in a photo from Hawaii, where she is on holiday with her daughter
- Her first child, a daughter, was born two years ago
- The post was met almost instantly with congratulations from fans and friends
Actress Jelena Grujicic Mur, remembered across the region as Blankica from the film Dara of Jasenovac, has announced that she is expecting her second child. She shared the news with a photo from Hawaii in which she proudly shows her baby bump while resting by the ocean, with her daughter beside her.
There was no long caption and no build-up. A single holiday photograph was enough to fill the comments with congratulations from fans, friends and fellow actors. Mur has rarely spoken publicly about her private life, so the low-key approach was very much in character.
The news comes two years after the birth of her first child. Her daughter was born two years ago, and since then the actress has kept family life almost entirely out of public view. Now that same daughter is part of the frame she chose to announce the second pregnancy, which gave the post extra weight with the audience that follows her.
Who is Jelena Mur, and why do we remember her as Blankica?
Jelena Grujicic Mur was born in 1995 in Ivanjica and studied in Belgrade. She completed her master’s degree in California, where she went on building a career far from the domestic scene. Few actresses of her generation have a path like that on their CV, from Ivanjica through Belgrade to the United States.
Her breakthrough came with the role of Blankica in Dara of Jasenovac. The film was one of the most watched Serbian titles in the region and opened doors for the young actress that usually take far longer to open. Audiences still recognise her by that character, even though several years have passed since the premiere.
Unlike much of the domestic entertainment scene, Mur does not build visibility through daily posts and interviews. She rarely discusses her private life, so any post of this kind draws disproportionate attention. That is precisely why one photograph from Hawaii became a talking point within hours.
Hawaii, her daughter and a post met with congratulations
The picture was taken while she was on holiday in Hawaii. It shows the sea, a relaxed atmosphere and the bump that was the point of the post. Her daughter, born two years ago, is with her, which makes the frame both a family portrait and an announcement that the family is growing.
The reaction was immediate. Numerous congratulations arrived from fans, but also from friends and colleagues in acting. The comments came down to the same thing, a welcome for the new arrival and wishes for a calm second half of the pregnancy.
The actress did not mention a due date, nor the baby’s sex. She added no further explanation, so everything known so far comes from the photograph itself and from what the public already knew about her. Those familiar with her work say that is entirely her style, she prefers to let the picture speak instead of issuing a statement.
If she sticks to her usual practice, the next time we hear from her will be whenever she decides to share something herself. Until then, there is one photograph from the ocean and one piece of news the public greeted without a single unkind word.
Were you happier to hear about the second pregnancy, or about the fact that Jelena still refuses to turn it into a media campaign?
