Natasa Bekvalac Dating Former Footballer Sinisa R.
A day after the first report that the singer has a new boyfriend, his profession was revealed too. His full name, Sinisa Runjo, is now circulating on Instagram.
Natasa Bekvalac is in a new relationship, and much more is now known about the man who has won her heart. On September 11, Kurir reported that he is a former footballer who played in the lower tiers of Serbian football and now runs his own private business.
News that the singer has a new partner first broke a day earlier, on September 10 at 2:46 PM, when Kurir revealed that Natasa is dating a man the outlet refers to by the initials S. R. At the time, one detail drew the most attention: his physical resemblance to her ex husband, water polo player Danilo “Daca” Ikodinovic. Kurir reported that the new partner’s nose, mouth and eyes resemble those of the athlete Natasa was once married to.
New details emerged the next day. Kurir writes that Sinisa previously played in the lower tiers of Serbian football and turned to running his own business after ending his playing career. Mondo, in a piece published at 7:21 AM, reports something similar, that he is a private businessman from Belgrade, and adds that it was precisely his sporting past that further fueled public interest.
Who is Sinisa R., really?
Officially, both Kurir and Mondo stick to the initials S. R. However, his full name, Sinisa Runjo, appeared on the Instagram profile Zene fudbalera (Footballers’ Wives), along with the detail that he is 47 years old. Neither Kurir nor Mondo has officially confirmed this in their reporting, so for now the name remains information circulating on social media rather than a confirmed fact.
Photos from Thailand and Pula
What has been confirmed are the photos from his Instagram profile. They were taken during his stay in Thailand and in Pula, Croatia. In them, he appears shirtless by a pool and on a beach, with visible tattoos and a toned physique. According to both outlets, it was precisely these photos that set off a wave of comments about his resemblance to Daca Ikodinovic.
According to media reports, the relationship has already been going on for several months. The couple keeps it away from the public eye, rarely appearing together in public and never posting photos of themselves as a couple. They do not even follow each other on Instagram. Sinisa does, however, follow the profile of Natasa’s sister, Kristina Bekvalac, and she follows him back.
Portal srpske.rs previously reported on how Natasa Bekvalac’s new boyfriend showed up at her performance after midnight. Kurir now adds context to that same evening. Sinisa was supposed to celebrate his birthday that night at the very club where Natasa was performing, but at one point backed out of coming because of the media presence. Later, however, he changed his mind.
They are happy together and both want to develop the relationship without public pressure. That is exactly why they avoid places where they would attract the attention of photographers and the media.
That is how a source close to the couple described it to Kurir. The same source also described his arrival at the club, sometime around 1 AM, once journalists and photographers had already left.
He arrived quite a bit later than the other guests. He was with a few friends, everything looked very discreet, as if they did not want to draw attention. There was no fuss around his arrival, but we know why he was there.
Natasa Bekvalac has had several emotional relationships over the years that have made headlines, including her marriage to Daca Ikodinovic. This time, it seems, she has decided to keep her new romance away from the cameras, however difficult that may be given how much her chosen partner has already become a topic of conversation.
