Alright, let’s gab about this Nikola Jokic’s wife, Natalija. I heard tell they knew each other way back when, like, since they were kids in that Serbia place, Sombor, I think it’s called. Young love, you know? Like them old-timey stories.
They got hitched in 2020, in the same town where they grew up. That’s kinda sweet, ain’t it? Not like these city folks who go off to some fancy island to get married. Just a good, ol’ hometown weddin’. They even got a couple of little ‘uns now. A little girl, and just recently, they had a baby boy! Nikola, he had to take a break from that basketball stuff to be there for the birth. Family comes first, that’s what I always say.
- Met in high school
- Married in Sombor, Serbia
- Two kids together
Now, Natalija, she ain’t just some basketball wife, you know? She’s got her own thing going on. She moved to America before Nikola did, playing volleyball for some college in Oklahoma. Seminole State, somethin’ like that. Tough girl, I bet. Volleyball ain’t no joke, all that jumpin’ and divin’. She probably keeps Nikola in line, too. Big fella like that needs a strong woman, you hear?
It’s a real nice story, you know? They been together forever, it seems like. Not like these young folks these days, always flittin’ around from one person to another. These two, they stuck it out. From high school sweethearts to a family. It warms an old lady’s heart, it does.
And listen to this, she moved to America all by herself, playin’ volleyball and makin’ her own way. That’s somethin’. Not just sittin’ around waitin’ for Nikola to make it big. She’s got her own dreams, her own life. That’s what I like to see. A woman with a mind of her own.
Folks always talkin’ about Nikola this and Nikola that, how good he is at basketball. But you gotta remember, behind every good man, there’s a good woman. And Natalija, she seems like a real good woman. Keepin’ the home fires burnin’, takin’ care of them kids. And she probably helps Nikola keep his head on straight, you know? All that fame and money can mess with a fella’s head. She keeps him grounded, I bet.
They’re from a small town, just like me. Sombor, Serbia. Probably everyone knows everyone there. It ain’t like these big cities where nobody knows their neighbor. They got that small-town feelin’ in ‘em, you can tell. Good folks, hard-workin’ folks. That’s what makes a good marriage, you know? Not all that fancy stuff, but just good, solid folks who love each other and take care of their family. That’s what it’s all about, in the end.
So yeah, Natalija Jokic. She’s more than just a basketball wife. She’s a strong woman, a mama, a former volleyball player. And she’s been with Nikola through thick and thin, since they were just kids. That’s a love story right there, ain’t it? A real, honest-to-goodness love story. Makes you think maybe there’s still some good in this world, you know?
I tell ya, it’s nice to hear about good folks doin’ well. In this crazy world, you need stories like this. Keeps you goin’, keeps you believin’ in love and family and all that good stuff. So good on ‘em, I say. Good on Nikola and Natalija. May they have a long and happy life together, and may them little ‘uns grow up strong and healthy.
