Nikola Jokic Ties The Knot In Serbia

DENVER (CBS4) - Denver Nuggets All Star center Nikola Jokic is no longer on the market. Jokic married his girlfriend Natalija Macesic on Saturday in his hometown of Sombor, Serbia. Video of the couple dancing and singing during the reception was posted on social media.

According to The Gazette, the couple has been together since they were 16 years old. Natalija received her psychology degree from Metropolitan State in Denver.

 

The wedding was originally supposed to happen in June, but it was postponed as the NBA moved its season to the bubble in Orlando, Florida due to the coronavirus pandemic.
