Ognjenovic Spotted With Pantic, Teodosic Silent

Volleyball player Maja Ognjenovic was spotted with Jovan Pantic, the ex husband of singer Marija Mikic, Kurir reports in a story published on September 15 at 3:34 PM. The news comes a day after we reported that Ognjenovic and her ex partner Milos Teodosic had rekindled their relationship and moved in together.

Telegraf published its own version of the story the same day, at 4:48 PM, and the details do not fully match. Kurir says Ognjenovic and Pantic were photographed at the airport on their way back from Montenegro, then headed together to the apartment where they live. Telegraf, on the other hand, writes that the pair was photographed at a restaurant in Belgrade, where they exchanged affection at their table. According to Kurir, Ognjenovic wore sunglasses at the airport and Pantic a baseball cap, and both were hurrying toward a car. Telegraf claims the relationship has already lasted three months and began as an ordinary friendship before turning into something more serious.

The story breaks at a moment when the domestic public was still focused on the reported reconciliation between Ognjenovic and Teodosic, which we covered in “Teodosic and Ognjenovic: They Started Living Together.” Judging by the new photos, that reconciliation, at least for now, appears to be off.

Neither Maja Ognjenovic nor Jovan Pantic has officially commented on the relationship rumors, and Milos Teodosic has stayed silent as well. Pantic did, however, post a message on Instagram on September 16 at 10:13 AM, a day after the news of his relationship with Ognjenovic surfaced, that reads like a comment on the moment he finds himself in.

Thank you, my Christ, for the blessings You have given me and for the hardships I endure. Glory to You, my God

Pantic wrote alongside the post on his account, without directly mentioning Ognjenovic or the situation that has stirred up so much attention.

Ognjenovic herself had earlier, while the reconciliation with Teodosic was being reported, posted a message about love on her Instagram account.

And it will be revealed on Judgment Day that love was the only meaning of life on earth

the volleyball player wrote at the time, in a post that the media interpreted as a nod to her renewed relationship with the basketball player. Now, in light of the new photos with Pantic, that same message reads very differently.

Jovan Pantic, according to Kurir, is known in Belgrade circles by the nickname Jokarica. He is a businessman and the owner of a boutique that sells unusually designed socks made from eco friendly materials. He has a son from his first marriage to Marija Mikic, who spent plenty of time with both parents while they were together. Pantic regularly posts gym photos on Instagram and is known for his love of training.

Marija Mikic previously spoke to our newsroom about the sock business, revealing that the clientele her ex husband attracted was unusual for that type of product. Buyers, she said, ranged “from pilots to businessmen to all sorts of politicians,” and among the customers, according to her, were even government representatives.

It is not yet known where Ognjenovic and Pantic met, nor exactly how long their acquaintance, which Telegraf’s sources say began as friendship, has lasted. Both outlets agree that the relationship, at least as far as the public is concerned, surfaced completely out of the blue, right as her past with Teodosic was the biggest topic of conversation.

Our newsroom is following the story and will report new details as soon as Maja Ognjenovic, Jovan Pantic or Milos Teodosic comment.
