Novak Djokovic and his Jelena – a dream couple for many for years. But not always for his mother. Dijana Djokovic says in a TV show on the Serbian portal “Blic” what bothers her about her daughter-in-law.
It is “normal and natural” for Jelena to take over some things and do them in her own way. “It wouldn’t be good for me to interfere,” says Dijana. But: “Unfortunately, they rarely come. They have created their family and oasis, and Jelena does some things in her own way that I do not support. ” Obviously, the topic of nutrition is a thorn in her side.
“I didn’t think they would get married”
Novak and Jelena met in 2005 at a tennis tournament. Three years later there was a spark between the two. Nobody could have guessed what would become of it. «We met Jelena when they were both 18 years old. I didn’t think they were going to get married, ”recalls Mama Djokovic.
Before Jelena there were practically no other women at Novak. “As a young man who played tennis, he didn’t have time to have fun. He was out and about more than at home, ”is how Dijana describes the time. He only introduced one volleyball player. But they were still children then.
Novak and Jelena got married in 2014, rumors about marital problems and divorce are a thing of the past. Their children, Stefan and Tara, are 7 and 4 years old today. The 35-year-old is CEO of the “Novak Djokovic Foundation” and is always behind the 20-time major winner. (sme)
