Edita Aradinovic: In Those Moments You See Their True Face
Seventeen days after giving birth, the singer wrote on Instagram for the first time not about herself, but about the people around her: some called and helped, others, she says, vanished and judged.
Edita Aradinovic posted a text on Instagram on the evening of August 8 unlike anything she had written before. Seventeen days after giving birth to her daughter, the singer wrote not about the baby or her own body, but about the people around her. Alongside a photo with her child, she wrote about who reached out to her and who pulled away.
Everything she had shared from her postpartum period until that post was about herself. She had written about the baby blues, about not sleeping, about the stitches from her cesarean section, and about the struggle with pumping breast milk. This was the first time she spoke about the people around her.
“You will never forget how people treated you in postpartum, after giving birth. You will never forget the people who checked in on you and made you feel loved, whether they texted you, called you, or came over to watch your newborn while you showered, or washed a few dishes while you talked. You will learn who respects your boundaries, and who doesn’t,” Edita Aradinovic wrote on her Instagram profile.
Then she moved on to the other side of the list, without a single name, initial, or hint at any specific person.
“But especially, you will never forget how lonely some people made you feel. How some simply vanished, judged you, or made things even harder while you were just trying to get through it all. How some people you always supported never gave you that same support back when you needed it,” the singer continued.
The final part of the post explains why all of this has stayed with her so vividly right now.
“You will never forget it, because these are some of the most vulnerable moments of your life: caught between exhaustion from night feedings and the feeling that you’re disheveled, lonely and completely drained. In those moments you see many people’s true face. And you realize that some relationships are no longer worth your energy,” she concluded.
What Led Up to the Post
Edita Aradinovic gave birth to her daughter on July 22, 2026, by cesarean section. The girl is her first child. The father is Nenad Stevic, and the singer is no longer in a relationship with him, a fact that was already known before she gave birth.
She described the birth itself on Instagram, step by step. She said she arrived at the hospital with contractions and turned down an epidural until the pain reached an eight on a scale of one to ten. She also posted a shot from the room where she was being prepped.
She first spoke out the day after she left the maternity hospital. At the time, she wrote about her first night at home, about not sleeping a wink, and about the baby blues arriving without warning. Even then, she mentioned no one but herself and her child.
Why Is This Post Different From Her Previous Ones?
Because it is the first one in which the singer takes stock of others instead of herself. On July 9, she wrote about her ninth month of pregnancy, about weighing eighty kilograms, and about pain in her back and legs. On July 23 came the news of the birth. On July 27 followed her account of the first night with the baby at home. All three posts shared the same frame: what was happening to her body and her mood.
This one looks outward. She lists specific, small things people did or didn’t do: a text, a phone call, coming over to watch the baby while she showered, dishes washed. That shows she is talking about her close circle, not her online audience.
She wrote the text in the second person, like a note to herself, so it reads as a message to every woman who has been through the same thing. That is also why it keeps getting shared, even though it names no one. Whoever recognized themselves in it did so on their own.
The singer has not announced when she will return to the stage. She has spent the past seventeen days at home with her child, and for now her Instagram profile remains the only channel through which she communicates.
