Natasa Bekvalac, S. R. Split Before Birthday, Source Says
An unnamed source close to the singer claims her relationship with the former footballer ended before her birthday, without a fight. Bekvalac has not commented.
Natasa Bekvalac has ended her relationship with a former footballer identified only by the initials S. R., according to an unnamed source close to the singer who spoke to the portal Nova on October 6. The singer herself has not confirmed it. Nova’s reporters tried to reach her for comment but had not succeeded by the time of publication.
According to the same source, the relationship lasted several months, and Bekvalac wanted to keep it out of the public eye from the start. When word got out anyway, she decided to end it.
What does the source close to the singer claim?
The source said the split was not turbulent and that the two former partners remained on good terms. The source said, word for word:
Nata was happy with S. R., but she really tried to keep that relationship a secret. Then it came out, and she decided to cut it off and let everyone go their own way. She is planning serious steps in her career, so stories about a new boyfriend are not what she needs. They stayed on good terms, which is usually the case with Natasa. She has no problem staying on good terms after a breakup.
The source adds that Bekvalac is now focused on her career and on planning a concert tour, and wants to keep her private life far from the public eye.
Why was S. R. not at the birthday?
Rumors of a breakup began when S. R. was not seen at the singer’s birthday, and soon afterward several Serbian outlets spotted him on a night out in Belgrade, talking with an unidentified young woman. The sequence the source describes is different. According to the source, the breakup came before the celebration:
S. R. did not show up at her birthday because there was no need: they had already broken up, and you don’t invite exes to a birthday (laughs).
His absence from the party, then, should not be read as the cause of the split. The source claims the relationship was already over by then.
What was known earlier about the relationship?
Kurir had written about the relationship earlier, citing a source close to the couple, who said at the time:
They are happy together and both want to develop the relationship without public pressure. That is exactly why they avoid places where they would attract photographers and the media.
The same source then described how the couple spent their time:
They both love parties. They were together in Mykonos and at city events with friends. When they go out, they are always in a group, so nobody can tell they are together. S. told only a handful of his closest friends, and so did Natasa.
It is not stated whether this is the same source who has now spoken about the breakup.
Bekvalac’s private life under the spotlight
The singer (46) has drawn attention in recent days for her appearance as well. Kurir reported the same day that she had lost 10 kilograms in a month, reportedly through regular workouts and a diet built around protein, healthy fats and leafy greens. Bekvalac has not confirmed that either.
The public has followed her love life for years. Republika notes that the singer has been married three times. The first marriage was to water polo player Danilo Ikodinovic, whom she wed in 2006, and the couple had a daughter in 2008. After the divorce they reportedly stayed on decent terms for the sake of their child.
If the singer comments on the breakup or on her relationship with S. R., we will add her statement to this article.
