Nikolija and Relja Popovic marry in secret after 12 years
The singer and rapper are now officially married after 12 years together and two daughters. Their witnesses are stylist Stefan Orlic and producer Djordje Djordjevic.
Singer Nikolija Jovanovic and rapper Relja Popovic have married in secret after 12 years together. The news became public on October 21, when Nikolija posted a photo of their wedding rings on Instagram.
The ceremony took place at a municipal office, with family and close friends present. A private celebration followed, Kurir reports. The sources do not give the exact date of the wedding or the municipality where it was held.
The couple has lived together for years without being married and has two daughters. The older one is of school age, the younger is five. Because of their age, we are not publishing the girls’ names.
Who are Nikolija and Relja’s witnesses?
Nikolija’s witness is fashion stylist Stefan Orlic. Relja chose music producer and songwriter Djordje Djordjevic, who has worked with him for years.
Nikolija herself introduced the witnesses to the public. Along with the photo of the rings, she posted clips on her profile showing them celebrating.
What did Nikolija’s wedding dress look like?
According to Kurir’s description, Nikolija chose a long white dress with a simple cut, a deep neckline and long straps. The dress had no lace and no sequins.
What did Relja write on Instagram?
Relja posted a joint photo with his wife on his profile, captioned “Mr. and Mrs. Popovic”. Kurir reads this as a hint that Nikolija has taken his surname. As far as the sources report, Nikolija has not confirmed it herself.
What has Relja said before about family?
In an interview with TV E, carried by Kurir and Republika, Relja spoke about the kind of home he and Nikolija want to build. Both, he said, come from families that were not fully functional.
“I chose the role of a parent, and the two of us have a mission, even though we both come from families that were not so functional, hers and mine, primary ones. Now we have a mission to build a functional world together, for us and then for them.”
The couple rarely shares their private life with the public, so this is a rare occasion on which Relja talks about family, while Nikolija shares images from the celebration.
How did Zorica Brunclik react to the wedding?
Singer Zorica Brunclik spoke about the wedding on the evening of October 21, at the promotion of Seka Aleksic’s new album, for Telegraf. She came to the promotion with her husband, Miroljub Arandjelovic Kemis.
“I haven’t followed it, I don’t have a phone, I have nowhere to follow it, but it’s never too late. First they had children, now they got married, wonderful. Congratulations.”
At the same event, Zorica also talked about her recovery after surgery and mentioned Halid Muslimovic’s recent statement that he lived at her and Kemis’s place for a while. “He was joking, he says I have no idea what got into me… It just slipped out,” she said.
