Jelena Djokovic personal life and lifestyle

Jelena Djokovic has shared details regarding her personal lifestyle and family dynamics. She described her transition to a plant-based diet, which consists of 70 percent raw food and 30 percent cooked items such as soup, gluten-free pasta, rice, and quinoa. She noted that her shift toward veganism began during her studies due to financial constraints. She emphasized a commitment to unprocessed foods to maintain energy, a lifestyle she shares with her husband, Novak Djokovic. Novak’s specific menu is managed by his long-time personal chef, Ljubica Komlenic, a culinary expert who has worked with him for over a decade. Komlenic has cautioned against copying the athlete’s specific nutritional habits without medical supervision.

Additionally, Jelena has discussed the complexities of her marriage and parenting. She noted that chronic sleep deprivation impacts her mood and marital dynamics. She addressed the challenges of balancing family life with Novak’s professional career, noting that while they are a passionate couple, their differing paces can lead to disagreements: she focuses on motherhood and a calmer family tempo, while he remains driven to travel and work.

Reflecting on her personal growth, Jelena mentioned past struggles with feeling invisible in the shadow of her husband’s success and previous attempts to compete with him for recognition. Regarding their children, Stefan and Tara, she explained her approach to parenting by following midwife advice to encourage independent sleep routines. She also expressed views on the possibility of expanding their family after Novak’s retirement.
