Andjela Djuricic Becomes an Aunt Again on Elite 10

Andjela Djuricic found out on Elite 10 that she has become an aunt for the second time. The news reached her in a letter from the Big Boss, read out to all the contestants by host Ana Radulovic, and Andjela burst into tears the moment she heard that her sister had given birth to a baby girl.

Before the letter arrived, Andjela had no idea what was waiting for her in the house. She had entered Elite 10 only a few days earlier, saying at the time that she was in a hurry and had no time for long conversations in front of the cameras, which made this morning’s news the first big emotional moment since she arrived on the estate. Until now, the only thing we had reported about her was that entrance into the show.

The letter announced that Andjela’s sister Jelena had given birth to a baby girl named Ksenija, making Andjela an aunt for the second time. It read:

Dear Elite, we’re happy to share some wonderful news with you. Today, Andjela became an aunt for the second time: her sister has given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Ksenija.

The moment she heard what it said, Andjela could not hold back her tears. The show paused briefly so she could share the joy with her housemates, who immediately congratulated her. Only once she had composed herself a little did she address her family directly.

I’m overjoyed, I don’t even know what to say. I didn’t even know it would be a girl, I’m so surprised. I want to say hello to my Jelena and my family, I love you all so much.

Andjela Djuricic said this on Elite 10 right after the letter was read, speaking directly to her sister Jelena and her newborn niece.

That same morning, in the same episode, Andjela Djuricic and Filip Djukic were named Miss and Mister Instagram, so the day brought her two pieces of news at once: one personal, one competitive. It is just one of several titles awarded on Elite by platform, since viewer votes are counted separately for each social network.

Other awards from the same vote were announced that evening. On Facebook, the audience placed the most trust in Anela Ahmic and Stefan Karic, who took the titles on that platform, while Leon Carner, a contestant who had entered the house only a day earlier, managed to win the audience’s favor in a short amount of time. Andjela’s news about her niece nonetheless remained the central moment of the episode, since it was the only one carrying a personal, family tone amid the competitive atmosphere.

Before entering Elite 10, Andjela had said she expected it to be hard being away from her family, and the first piece of news to reach her from the outside proved exactly that. Instead of a call or a message, word of her niece’s birth reached her through a letter from the Big Boss, in front of the cameras and all the other contestants, which is why her reaction was so immediate and raw.

The baby girl’s name, Ksenija, was spoken in the letter itself, and Andjela repeated it right away as she addressed her family. It is not yet known whether Andjela will get the chance to leave the estate briefly to see her niece in person, or whether the show’s rules even allow it. Until then, her only connection to newborn Ksenija remains whatever the producers pass on to her through the show.
