Suzana Mancic: I'm Overjoyed to Become a Grandmother
Teodora Talijan, daughter of TV host Suzana Mancic, gave birth to a son, Mijat, on August 3, weighing 3,650 grams. The natural delivery went smoothly, with her sister Natalija by her side.
Television host Suzana Mancic has become a grandmother. Her daughter, Teodora Talijan, gave birth to a son in the early morning hours of August 3, 2026, at a private clinic, delivering naturally and without complications. The boy weighed 3,650 grams at birth.
His parents named him Mijat.
This is the first grandchild in the Mancic family. Teodora is married to General Miroslav Talijan, who is 23 years older than her, and Mijat is his sixth child.
”Teodora Was Brave”
Suzana made her statement the same day, shortly after everything was over.
I’m overjoyed to have become a grandmother and that everything went as well as it could have. The baby is doing well, Teodora was brave, and I’m immensely proud of her.
She spoke the same way throughout her daughter’s pregnancy. The public never learned about Teodora’s condition from any official statement, only from her own photographs and brief remarks, and the news of the birth arrived the same way: no announcement, no press materials, just one sentence from her mother.
Who Was With Teodora in the Delivery Room?
Her sister, Natalija. She went into the delivery room with her and held her hand throughout the birth.
The detail people keep bringing up most concerns Natalija herself. When contractions began, around 1 a.m., she quietly left the house and went to the maternity hospital, so as not to worry her mother before everything was over. Suzana only found out once the delivery was already behind them.
Teodora’s husband waited outside the delivery room.
The Bottle the General Had Been Saving for Years
Miroslav Talijan had kept an old bottle of whiskey for years, waiting for the right occasion. He opened it that morning, shortly after 6 a.m., to toast his son’s arrival at home.
The general was born in 1970 in Smederevska Palanka. Before his marriage to Teodora, domestic media wrote about him mainly in connection with his military career. Since the wedding, coverage has focused almost exclusively on the age gap between him and his wife.
The morning unfolded like this:
- around 1 a.m., contractions begin and Natalija leaves for the maternity hospital with Teodora
- in the early morning hours, the delivery is completed naturally, without complications
- shortly after 6 a.m., a bottle is opened at the family home
- later that same day, Suzana Mancic’s first statement arrives
What the Name Mijat Means
Mijat is regarded here as an old Serbian name, though its root is not domestic. It comes from the ancient Hebrew form Micha el, meaning “who is like God.”
In this case, the choice of name is everything the family has shared about the baby. Neither Suzana nor Teodora has published a photo of him, nor announced plans to.
Even Before This, Teodora Was Never Just a Famous Mother’s Daughter
Teodora Talijan wrote a song performed at the graduation ceremony for new recruits of the Interior Ministry (MUP). That fact went almost unnoticed in domestic media, where the spotlight always fell first on her surname, then on the age gap between her and her husband.
Now the spotlight is on Mijat.
The family is waiting for Teodora and the baby to come home from the clinic. Suzana Mancic has not announced any break from work or a change to her schedule, and her first statement as a grandmother came the very day her grandson was born, fast even by celebrity news standards.
