Sladja and Djani Trajkovic on His Affair: 'I Regret It'
Djani Trajkovic's wife Sladja spoke again about his infidelity and how she found out, and the singer responded that he regrets it and blames the alcohol at the time.
Sladja Trajkovic, wife of singer Radisa Trajkovic Djani, spoke in an interview about his infidelity and said she has forgiven him. The singer addressed the same subject on the show “Premijera vikend specijal,” where he said the line everyone picked up afterward: he regrets it.
The two statements have been stitched together into a single narrative, which makes them read like a live exchange. They are not. Sladja’s part comes from an interview carried by the outlet Hype, Djani’s from a television appearance, and neither source says exactly when either statement was made.
What Sladja Said
She made the admission without hedging, and put it in the past tense right away.
There was an affair, I’m not saying there were many… But as they say, youthful folly. Better in youth than in old age, I’m joking.
She then explained why she stayed. Her line about never having felt sidelined has circulated for years, and it’s the part of the statement quoted most often.
Yes, he cheated on me, but a woman simply senses whether it came from love. I was never treated as Djani’s afterthought, and I was never humiliated. I never lacked for anything, he was never this popular. I know he loves me. If he didn’t love me, I wouldn’t be with him, and I certainly wouldn’t have gotten past it.
The most concrete part of her account concerns how she found out. There were no signs, no change in his behavior, no suspicion, she says, the news simply reached her from outside.
At the moment of the affair I didn’t feel anything, I only heard about it. I didn’t notice any change in him. Men are better when they have a mistress.
What Djani Said Back
The singer spoke about the affair reluctantly and without detail, as he has in the past whenever the subject comes up. His account makes no mention of youth, that framing is Sladja’s, he talks instead about alcohol and regret, and devotes most of his remarks to his wife.
I met Sladja in Pristina, we’ve known each other a long time. Yes, Sladja used to sing. A few nights ago Jana was saying how Sladja used to sing, how everyone would turn to look at her. I’ve never once in my life doubted Sladja, I love her more than anything, without her who knows where I’d be, a wife is the pillar of the house. When Milos was born, my buddies would stop by, and she notices everything, men think all their friends are like brothers, but the wife is always right. Every marriage has its friction, but Sladja and I have never gone a single day without talking. What’s done is done. It happened, it won’t happen again. I regret it, of course I regret it, but a drunken mind, what can you do. It wasn’t easy on me. I called Milos to come save me. It won’t happen again, don’t cheat on your wives. Any man would want a wife like her.
The line “don’t cheat on your wives” is a message aimed at the audience, not an answer to his wife. Djani isn’t saying it for the first time, it belongs to his standard repertoire whenever reporters steer him back to the topic.
Is This a New Confession?
No, and that’s the one part of the story that’s easy to check. Espreso, which carried the quote, writes on its own that Sladja “once admitted” she knew about the affair, and the identical “youthful folly” line, along with the line about the mistress, has already appeared in earlier pieces about their marriage. This is material that has been circulating in the media, not a confession that happened yesterday.
That doesn’t make the statement worthless, but it changes its status. This isn’t a moment where someone spoke up for the first time, it’s an occasion where her version and his version of the same story have, for the first time, been placed side by side.
Their Marriage, In Brief
- they met in Pristina, where Sladja herself used to sing
- they have three children together, two sons and a daughter
- their firstborn son is Milos, whom Djani also mentions in his account of that night
- in May 2026, Sladja posted a joint photo on Instagram with a message about thirty years “through everything good and hard”
That May post and this latest statement sit on the same line. Sladja talks about the marriage as something that held up, not something she has forgotten. She doesn’t deny the affair, doesn’t soften it, and doesn’t turn it into a story about being a victim.
What’s missing from both accounts is time. Neither Sladja nor Djani says when it happened, how long it lasted, or when she found out. Without that, the only hard fact left standing is that both of them have now confirmed the affair happened, and that they stayed together after it.
