NBA fans are becoming growingly interested in the personal life of Nikola Jokic. After all, the Denver Nuggets’ star has won the MVP award for 2 years in a row now. Moreover, there is even talk of him being one of the few players in league history who could win the award for a three-peat.
That said, we should certainly want to know more about his personal life and background off the court. It turns out that the 27-year-old Serbian is married and has been so for a while now. One might be curious to know more about his partner and their relationship backstory. Additionally, knowing if they have children and what the couple is currently doing might also interest a few fans.
Nikola Jokic is married to Natalija Macesic and recently became a father to his daughter
It turns out that the Joker has been in a serious and committed relationship for several years now. Natalija Macesic is a Serbian psychologist who started her relationship with Nikola all the way back in 2013. They did not meet in the United States, despite both of them moving to it looking for a better future. Rather, they have known each other since childhood, attending the same high school together in a place called Sombor, Serbia.
The high school sweethearts did not part ways as life went on and have stayed together as a consistent and solid couple. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of details about Natalija as she keeps her life private and out of the media’s eyes.
The couple soon got engaged and married on October 24th, 2020. While the plan was for the wedding to occur earlier that year, as we all know the COVID pandemic broke out at the time. Therefore, they had no choice but to postpone the wedding until the strict rules and regulations were relaxed.

A year later, they brought their first and only child into the world. A daughter who has been given a unique name, “Ognjena”. She was born in September 2021. Jokic leads a very private life and keeps his little daughter out of the glitz and glamour of the media and the NBA.
