Novak and Jelena Djokovic were high school sweethearts and married in 2014
They now share two children: Stefan and Tara
Jelena is the co-founder and global CEO of the Novak Djokovic Foundation
Novak Djokovic isn’t just a legend on the tennis court — he’s also been winning at love with his wife, Jelena Djokovic, since they got married more than a decade ago.
The high school sweethearts tied the knot on July 10, 2014, shortly after Novak won his second Wimbledon championship. Novak and Jelena now share two kids: Stefan, born in 2014, and Tara, who arrived in 2017.
Jelena juggles her role as the co-founder and global CEO of the Novak Djokovic Foundation with her other favorite job — being her husband’s No. 1 fan and loudest cheerleader. In 2024, she watched Novak reach a career milestone when he won his first-ever gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
“I don’t know what to say, I’m still in shock. I put my heart, my soul, my body, my family, my everything on the line to win Olympic gold,” Novak said during a post-match interview. “At age 37, I finally did it.”
Now, he’s hoping to redeem himself at the 2025 US Open after playing what he called his “worst tennis ever” at the Grand Slam tournament the year prior.
So who is Novak Djokovic’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Jelena Djokovic and her longtime relationship with the tennis star.
