Dara Bubamara's Boyfriend Filmed Her Entire Vrsac Concert

Dara Bubamara performed at the Balkan Youth festival in Vrsac, and her boyfriend spent the entire show standing by the stage, drinking beer and filming the singer on his phone, according to photos Kurir published on September 3. He did not move from the spot even when Dara looked toward the backstage area from the stage and waved at him.

The folk singer arrived at the concert with her chosen one, and the moment she stepped onto the stage, he stayed close by. Another person stood next to him, keeping him company and holding onto Dara’s handbag. He was dressed elegantly, sipping his beer, and never took his eyes off the singer. When Dara sang “Polje jagoda,” he sang along from start to finish, and filmed her on his phone several times while she was on stage. According to an earlier statement Dara gave after a concert in Leskovac, that song is her boyfriend’s favorite, which explains why he reacted to it the most.

For her part, the singer kept turning her head toward the backstage area throughout the concert, smiling at him and occasionally calling something out to him. When the show ended, he was there to meet her, took her by the hand and led her backstage, and he did not let go even while she posed for photos with fans who were waiting for her. After she gave a statement to reporters, the couple headed to their car together and drove off toward Novi Sad.

Dara and her partner have been together for more than a year, and according to reports so far, he moved into her apartment earlier this year. The singer previously spoke about how the two met on the show “Pretres.”

We met on Mykonos, spontaneously. It started with joking around, talking… First we hung out, went on dates, and I was blown away by how fun he was, how well he talked. When he moved to Dubai to live there, we kept seeing each other back and forth between Dubai and Novi Sad. Even though there was passion and attraction from the start, what’s incredible to me is how much we clicked as people. He isn’t just my boyfriend, he’s a life partner I can lean on.

That is how Dara Bubamara described the start of the relationship, adding that her partner is younger than her, though for a long time she would not reveal by exactly how much.

He’s quite a bit younger than me, not drastically. I won’t say how much, he’s just over 26.

Dara said that with a laugh, publicly narrowing down her partner’s age for the first time, though his full name still has not been made public.

The relationship began on the Mykonos to Dubai route, then moved to Novi Sad, before her partner finally moved into Dara’s apartment during 2026. Since then the two have been seen together at several of her concerts, and the scene from Vrsac is the freshest proof of just how close they are, even in front of cameras and a live audience.

This year’s festival season also gave Dara Bubamara a chance to speak publicly about other parts of her life. After years of a cooled relationship with Jelena Karleusa, she recently said that “Jelena is wonderful” and that the two of them have similar energy, reigniting talk of a possible reconciliation between the singers. She also turned down a duet with a fellow performer ahead of one of her concerts, without publicly revealing the real reason. Through all of it, her partner has stayed a constant presence, always front and center, whether he’s holding her handbag, filming her performance on his phone, or leading Dara by the hand through a crowd of fans.

The photos from Vrsac, the first to clearly show just how involved her partner is in every one of Dara’s performances, are now circulating on social media, and the singer has not publicly reacted to them so far.
