For more than nine years, Novak has been married to Jelena Djokovic, who was once known as Ristic.
The pair began dating in 2005, and in September 2013, they announced their engagement.
They were married in July 2014, and after defeating Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final in 2022, Novak celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on the court.

After reminding the Serb of the occasion, retiring host Sue Barker remarked, “I’m going to buy you flowers after this.
“You keep reminding me of things I would be in big trouble if I forgot.”
After three years, Djokovic revealed he was a father once more. Their son Stefan was born in October 2014.
After Jelena was conspicuously absent from the player’s box during her husband’s Wimbledon matches that year, the couple announced the birth of their daughter Tara in September 2017.

However, things haven’t always been easy in their relationship.
Split rumors plagued them in 2019 after Jelena failed to show up for any of his Wimbledon tennis events.
The pair claimed that this was because their daughter Tara was too little to attend, but on July 10, their fifth wedding anniversary, they also celebrated in secret. This is in sharp contrast to the year before, when Jelena shared a heartfelt anniversary greeting on social media that read, “Love loving you my love.”
It was in response to remarks made by tennis analyst John McEnroe in July 2017 that stated Djokovic’s recent bad form was brought on by “off-court issues with the family.”

The golfer Tiger Woods, who ended his marriage to Elin Nordegren after it was discovered he had cheated on her with 120 women, was even compared to him in his decline.
“Woods had the issues with his wife and then he seemed to go completely off the rails and has never been even close to being the same player,” John said.
Though taken aback by the remarks, Novak responded in a polite manner: “He has his right to say the things he wants to say. I don’t necessarily need to agree with that. But it’s his right.”

2020 saw Jelana share her struggles adjusting to the media attention that comes with being married to one of the greatest athletes of all time.
She said that receiving criticism about her appearance had a bad impact on her and that social media caused stress in her life.
She added, “When you are young, the spotlight and attention certainly feel comfortable,” in an interview with Vesti-Online about living in the spotlight.

“At first, the experience does not alarm you because it can bring you some difficulties. We look at public figures and think that kind of publicity is okay.
“But as time goes on, you lack anonymity, you lack the privacy to be able to do whatever you like at any time, in any situation.

“I try to resist all these expectations to always be myself and for Novak to be able to be himself.”
In response to remarks made about her, she continued: “That is probably why I am being criticised by the public ‘why didn’t I wear makeup’ or ‘why wasn’t I always wearing heels’.”

In addition, Jelena serves as the director of the Novak Djokovic Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works to enhance Serbia’s educational system in order to help young people there fulfill their potential.
