Relja Popović (since 2014)
Nikolija Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Николија Јовановић, born on 19 October 1989), professionally known just as Nikolija, is a Serbian R&B/Hip hop recording artist, dancer and photo model. Known for her drastic changes in stage appearance and seductive music style, she is currently one of the most popular singers in Serbia and the region.
Her desire to become a singer emerged mainly because of her mother Vesna Zmijanac, who is a well known folk singer in the Balkan region. She started her music career in 2011 in Greece as a club dancer and master of ceremonies. Nikolija also recorded her first song there, but failed to achieve success. Then, she moved to Serbia to restart her career in 2013 with electropop and rap songs which had attention-grabbing and controversial lyrics. Actually, she brought that kind of music to west Balkans. After successful singles like Kako posle mene, Alkohola litar and Opasna igra Nikolija gained enormous popularity in the region. Additionally, her music video for Opasna igra was the second most watched video in Serbia for 2015. On October 20, 2016 she published her debut album №1.
Jovanovic has a university degree and speaks three foreign languages (Greek, English, and French). She has been in a relationship with singer Relja Popović, former member of Elitni Odredi band, since 2014 and got pregnant with him. Unfortunately, she lost their baby in the third month of pregnancy. In the first half of 2016, Nikolija got pregnant again. On 26 September 2016 she gave a birth to a girl named Rea (meaning to flow in Greek). Both of her pregnancies were the hot topics in media for months that followed.
Nikolija took part in the reality television shows, Survivor Srbija VIP: Philippines in 2010 and Ples sa Zvezdama (Season 1) in 2014.
