Croatia defender Jakic ties the knot
Kristijan Jakic, a midfielder for the Croatia national team, has married his longtime partner Lucija Jelic in a private ceremony held in Croatia. The news of their wedding was shared only after years of keeping their relationship out of the spotlight.
A low-key celebration
The couple opted for a civil ceremony away from the public eye. Lucija, originally from Široki Brijeg, works as a makeup artist and built her career in Augsburg, Germany. The pair have been living together in Germany since Jakic joined the Bundesliga side of the same name.
Honeymoon in paradise
No details about the ceremony have been revealed yet. Recent social media posts show the newlyweds enjoying their time on the island of Hvar. Scenic views from the island suggest they are spending their first days as a married couple in a relaxed seaside setting.
What’s next for Jakic and the national team
Jakic remains a key figure in Croatia’s defensive setup. The national team’s last result was a 2-1 loss to Portugal on 02.07.2026. Over the past five matches, Croatia has recorded three wins and two defeats (LLWWW). The next fixture is an away game against Czechia scheduled for 26.09.2026.
