Ena Colic Engaged to Peja in Bali: 'I Love You, Forever'
Jovan Pejic Peja proposed to Ena Colic on September 27 in Bali, on her birthday and the day they first met. He picked the ring with his mother, Zlata Petrovic, who is gifting them her apartment.
Jovan Pejic Peja proposed to Ena Colic on September 27, in Bali. The date was not random: it is Ena’s birthday, and the same day the two of them met several years ago.
Ena received a diamond engagement ring from Peja as a birthday gift. She said yes right away, smiling, without a moment of hesitation.
The couple met as contestants on the reality show Elita. A brief breakup followed, then reconciliation and life together. The engagement appears to have caught even Ena off guard, not only the public.
Peja spent months preparing the celebration and the proposal in strict secrecy. His biggest support through the planning came from his mother, singer Zlata Petrovic. In the weeks before the Bali trip, the two quietly visited Belgrade’s most exclusive jewelers until they found a ring that matched Ena’s style.
After the proposal, the couple held a symbolic wedding under local custom, right there on Bali. The vacation during which they got engaged lasts a month in total.
Ena announced the news herself on Instagram, with a longer message for Peja:
“My wish to visit Bali together came true. We came here to celebrate my birthday, September 27. That is also the date we met, and now the date I gave you a promise for my whole life. I said ‘yes’ to you, in whose arms is my home, wherever we are in this world. I love you, forever.”
The message came with a series of photos from the engagement, and the couple also posted a vlog dedicated to the day. Congratulations for Ena and Peja, judging by the reactions on social media, are pouring in from every side.
A new apartment is waiting for the couple once they return to Belgrade. Zlata Petrovic decided to give the newlyweds to be the home she has shared with her son up to now. The singer owns several apartments, so she chose one for herself in the same neighborhood, close enough to stay near her son and future daughter in law while still leaving them full privacy.
While Ena and Peja enjoy Bali’s beaches, Zlata is already packing and moving out, so the apartment will be ready by the time they get home. The couple has not announced a wedding date yet.
Laid out in order, the story runs like this: Elita, a short breakup, reconciliation and moving in together, months of secret planning for a proposal, and finally the engagement in Bali, on the very day Ena and Peja first met.
