Nikola Jokić’s biggest fan is his daughter.
While the Denver Nuggets center has been making waves with his impressive NBA records this season, it’s his young daughter who has captured the most attention.
Nikola and his wife Natalija, who also hails from Sombor, Serbia, have a 1-year-old daughter named Ognjena. The couple, high school sweethearts since they were 17, married in October 2020 in their hometown before welcoming their daughter a year later.
Though they are known for keeping their family life private, they’ve shared occasional glimpses of their little girl since her birth. Ognjena has been seen in the stands at several of her father’s games, including the Nuggets’ recent victory over the Miami Heat to clinch the NBA Championship.
Here’s everything to know about Nikola’s daughter:
She was born in September 2021.
She made her Instagram debut in May 2022.
Her name, Ognjena, means “fiery” in Serbian, reflecting her parents’ roots.
She has been a loyal supporter of her dad at many games.
