Novak Djokovic, the newly crowned Wimbledon champion, wedded long-time girlfriend Jelena Ristic in a private ceremony in the beachfront Adriatic town of Sveti Stefan in Montenegro. Jelena Ristic, a model, and businesswoman is six months pregnant with her and her husband’s first child.
The first of two weddings is a private occasion.
It’s the first of the couple’s two scheduled nuptials. According to rumors, they are planning to remarry at a huge wedding. Local news media also stated that the attendees and personnel present at the marriage had to sign a secrecy contract that forbids them from discussing marriage specifics. The pair has decided to sell the photography rights to Hello! Magazines, with the revenues benefiting a charity.
The storybook love narrative is completed by high school sweethearts.
Djokovic and Ristic met in high school and have been dating for almost 8 years. Ristic is frequently spotted in the stands during the Serb’s games, and she is generally one of his most ardent fans. Ristic is also commonly seen at ATP parties and events attended by Djokovic.
The World No. 1, who announced his engagement to Ristic in September, dedicated his second Wimbledon title to his unborn child and fiancée at the Centre Court presentation ceremony. “He’d want to dedicate this to my future wife and our future child,” Djokovic added. “He is about to become a parent, which is the greatest delight in life.”
Boris Becker is one of the people invited to the wedding.
Boris Becker, Djokovic’s current coach who assisted him in winning Wimbledon last week, was present as expected. Following the ceremony, he tweeted: Other announced visitors were Djokovic’s ATP tour colleague Janko Tipsarevic and his brother Marko Djokovic.
