Goga Sekulic on Karleusa: I Prefer Younger Guys
The singer told reporters she has known the young man the media links with Jelena Karleusa since he was a child, and that he is the son of her friend.
Singer Goga Sekulic spoke on Monday evening, September 28, at the Adaktars’ celebration about the young man the media have been linking with Jelena Karleusa in recent days. She told reporters she has known him since he was a child, that he is the son of her friend, and that she has seen no sign the two of them are together.
The man in question is the model Aleksandar Sevo. Telegraf, Mondo and Informer report that he is 25 years younger than Karleusa. None of those outlets gives his age.
What did Goga say about Aleksandar Sevo?
Sekulic answered reporters’ questions, and Telegraf reports that she stressed she was relying only on what she is sure of. She began with how she knows him:
I know him, a lovely guy! I’ve known him since he was a kid, he didn’t hit on me, he’s my friend’s son, but we haven’t talked about that topic.
She then added what she knows and what she cannot claim:
For now I know they are friends, and the media write that they are in a relationship. So I can’t claim that, nor have I seen them in any romantic context. He looks top, so does Jelena, to me that’s somehow okay, because I prefer younger guys, but tastes differ, there’s no point arguing about that.
She closed with: “I didn’t ask either Jelena or him whether they’re together, it just popped up in the media.” Mondo reports a slightly different version of the same part of her statement: “I think it’s great because I prefer younger guys too.” The rest matches, so the difference is that one line.
What is known about Karleusa and Sevo?
Telegraf reports that Karleusa and Sevo were recently seen together out at the club Nacionalna klasa, and then at Belgrade’s “Nikola Tesla” Airport, where he came to pick her up. The story surfaced after Karleusa publicly explained the end of her collaboration with Zoran Birtasevic, which we covered earlier.
Informer writes that footage from a summer boat ride on the Sava is circulating on social media again. Karleusa posted it herself at the time. It shows her enjoying the deck while he, shirtless, steers the speedboat.
According to Telegraf, the singer herself has denied that they are together. She wrote:
When it comes to my private life, I also have to stress that the word private means the public should not deal with it, unless I decide to share some facts. Only I can know them, right? There was no “taking, snatching” or any other nonsense, because people are not things to be snatched, and whatever else I have read. Honestly, it made me laugh! Enjoy your beautiful lives, my songs, there will be many more soon, and I wish you a lovely day.
Why was Goga wearing black?
Sekulic also drew attention with her outfit at the celebration. According to Mondo, she was the only guest who did not follow the white dress code and came in black. She explained that she had arrived straight from a parent-teacher meeting:
That’s what the invitation said, but I didn’t see it! You see, since I came from some event at my child’s school, I wanted to arrive elegant. I was wearing a shirt, so I took it off and stayed in my bra.
Photographer Dejan Milicevic, who kept her company, added that she had come straight from summer.
