Pozgaj Divorced: “We Hugged Like Brother and Sister”

Aleksandar Pozgaj, a former politician turned reality TV personality, has signed divorce papers with his wife Ivana. He shared the news himself on social media on September 21, and made no secret of the fact that he was glad to see his ex-wife again at the signing.

The divorce came eight days after Pozgaj first revealed the couple was splitting, in a post marking his birthday on September 13. He turned 42 that day and became an uncle for the second time, and used the birthday message as an occasion to say goodbye to his marriage as well. In the same post, he announced he was moving out of the apartment on Hercegovacka Street in Zemun, where he had been living.

Describing the signing itself, Pozgaj shared details on social media that caught his followers off guard, since instead of bitterness he described a calm, amicable parting.

My heart was full when I saw Ivana. We signed the divorce papers, talked nicely… I’m glad she looks good, that she has a boyfriend, a future husband, who takes good care of her, and that she’s happy and content.

That is how Aleksandar Pozgaj described the meeting with Ivana, adding that once it was all over, there was even room for a joke at his own expense.

Now we’re free, and we hugged like brother and sister. Although Ivana still thinks I’m not normal, there’s some truth to that.

With that remark, made with a smile by his own account, he rounded off the story of a marriage that, until just two weeks earlier, had looked like a closed subject for the public.

The first announcement of the split, the one from his birthday, had left followers guessing and worried, since Pozgaj’s wording at the time sounded alarming.

Today I turned 42, I became an uncle for the second time, and it’s time for us to part ways soon. A great experience, I made good friends, one bright spot, and neighbors.

Later in that same September 13 post, he wrote that the street in Zemun would forever stay close to his heart, making it clear he was moving out of the apartment he had shared with Ivana. That line alarmed some of his followers, and the comments beneath the post asked him to explain what was going on and not to unsettle the public with such an unusual tone.

Eight days later came the resolution: the official signing of the divorce papers, described without a single unkind word about his ex-wife. In the meantime, Pozgaj says he has already been looking for a new place to live, while Ivana, according to him, now has a new partner who takes good care of her.

Neither Pozgaj nor Ivana has said when the marriage officially began or how long it lasted, and the couple also has not shared details about dividing their property or about who is keeping the apartment on Hercegovacka Street. Pozgaj is known to the public as a former politician who continued his career on the reality TV scene, where he has repeatedly been in the spotlight over his private life, including earlier reports and allegations that circulated online. None of that came up in his latest post, which was conciliatory in tone from start to finish.

For now, it is not known whether Pozgaj or Ivana will comment further on the divorce outside social media, or whether they plan any joint public appearance. Judging by his words, both have decided to close this chapter without conflict and move on, as he put it, each on their own path.
