Ava Karabatic announces reunion with partner she reported
The former reality show contestant says on Instagram that she plans marriage and a child with the partner she earlier reported to police for violence.
Ava Karabatic, a former reality show contestant, announced on Instagram on October 13, 2026 that she has reunited with the partner she earlier reported for violence. In a post with a photo from a restaurant, she wrote that she plans marriage and a child with him.
According to the post, the couple decided to resume the relationship after a longer separation. The announcement comes about two months after the incident Karabatic described in her statement to police.
What did Ava Karabatic write on Instagram?
She confirmed the reunion in a statement posted alongside the photo:
“After a long period of not being together, we decided to give our relationship another chance. I know our relationship has been full of controversy, but my heart is with this man and I know he is the love of my life and my future husband.”
She mentioned plans for a family in the same post. Karabatic says they promised each other peace, mainly because of the child they want:
“We promised each other that we would no longer cause problems, especially since we plan to have a child, and a dysfunctional relationship with a child is out of the question.”
She does not hide that the past was difficult. She closed with a message about forgiveness:
“To forgive is human. We did very bad things to each other, but now that is behind us. I think a closer relationship with dear God will heal our wounds and bring new happiness in a better and happier future.”
What did Ava Karabatic tell police earlier?
In a statement she gave earlier, she identified her partner as L. Z. She said they have been in a relationship since December 15, 2025, and that the violence took place on August 10, 2026 at his house. In her words, “provoked by nothing, he attacked me first verbally and then physically.”
The same day, she said, she went to the emergency center for an examination. She claims a friend keeps the medical report.
Karabatic also told police this was not the first such case:
“I would note that I have been suffering psychological and physical violence from L. Z., and that this is the fifth time I am reporting him, and three times I reported him to the police.”
She also asked that proceedings against her partner be brought ex officio:
“I do not want to remain in an emotional relationship with Z., because I no longer have the will or the strength to endure violence. I fear for my safety and I want Z. to be prosecuted ex officio, in accordance with the law.”
What is known about the partner?
Media reports identify the partner only by the initials L. Z., and none of the sources carries his response to the allegations in the report or to the post about the reunion. The allegations of violence are Karabatic’s claims in her statement to police, not established facts.
