Dea Djurdjevic: My Baby Is a Mix, but She's Daddy's Girl

TV host Dea Djurdjevic left Belgrade’s GAK Narodni front on Sunday, August 2, 2026, five days after giving birth. Her daughter is named Iris. Husband Lazar came to pick them up, carrying a large bouquet in one hand and a baby carrier in the other.

They walked out through the main entrance, hand in hand. Cameras were waiting outside. Dea stopped and answered questions.

I’m great, thank you, just wonderful. The birth went perfectly, you can see I’m smiling and everything is fine, the baby is doing great

That’s how she described the first days, she told reporters outside the maternity hospital. Asked who the girl resembles, she answered briefly: “The baby is a mix, but since she sleeps calmer, she’s a daddy’s girl.”

Her mother was by her side the whole time

Throughout her stay, Dea Djurdjevic’s mother, Nensi Dodevski, was with her in the room. She is also helping with the baby in the first days at home.

The host used the moment of leaving to praise the staff.

Everyone here at the Front is truly wonderful, it was a good choice for all of us. Everyone was wonderful, I felt spoiled and cared for thanks to the entire staff. Thank you to everyone for the messages and calls. These people made my birth beautiful. Mom is here, mom isn’t leaving my side

A day earlier, she posted a photo on Instagram with the doctor who managed her pregnancy and delivered the baby.

Who chose the name Iris?

They made the decision together, with one caveat. “Well, jointly, me, but he was thrilled about it,” the host said.

In front of the cameras, Lazar announced there’s something more waiting at home. “We’ve prepared everything for the baby’s arrival, there’s a surprise waiting for her,” he said.

The two are a couple after a long break. Lazar returned to Dea Djurdjevic’s life after fifteen years apart.

The celebration came before she left the hospital

The order was reversed from the usual. The family held the celebration at a Belgrade restaurant while mother and baby were still at Narodni front. Lazar wore a shirt whose slogan, loosely translated, read “Watch out, Dad, there’s a new boss.”

I was more scared than Dea, let me tell you! She took it all in stride

He said that at the celebration, then continued:

There were tears of joy, I love her more than anything in the world, she’s the biggest fighter! My first impressions are fantastic, I’m the happiest man! Dea picked the name, and I held the girl when she was born, but only briefly, five, ten minutes

By the time she left the maternity hospital, the host hadn’t managed to reply to everyone who had written to her.

The party went great, everyone called me on video call. I haven’t read all the congratulations. All my colleagues reached out, I didn’t get to answer everyone

The sheer number of messages says something on its own about how far this news traveled across the entertainment scene.

When does she return to the screen?

She announced a break from work. How long it will last, she didn’t say. She didn’t mention a return date either, nor the format of her comeback, so her schedule on the small screen remains unknown for now.

The timeline is short enough to fit into six days. She gave birth on July 28. The celebration happened while she was still in the hospital. She left Narodni front on August 2, with her daughter, husband and mother.

What comes next is the announced break. Dea Djurdjevic’s first public appearance after it will be the first sign of how long that break actually turns out to be.
