A former Real Madrid star risked jail after breaking team curfew to visit his stunning girlfriend.
Sofija Milosevic, who has been dubbed the ‘Balkan Diletta Leotta’, is the better half of AEK Athens and Serbia striker Luka Jovic – who played for Real Madrid between 2019 and 2022. However, it’s Sofija who appears to be commanding all the attention these days with Jovic playing in Greece during what should be the prime of his career.
The stunning model, 35, is no stranger to flaunting her incredible figure to her 585,000 followers on Instagram, with a recent snap of her showing her side boob as she joined the no bra club in a figure-hugging, see-through white dress, sending her fans wild.

The gushing reaction from her followers is hardly surprising, given Sofija’s experience in the fashion world. She has worked with Serbian fashion designers, as well as major brands including Diesel and Jeremy Scott, during stints in Milan and New York.
Her footballing partner also showed that he can’t get enough of Sofjia when he narrowly avoided jail in Serbia after flouting coronavirus isolation rules to see her.
During his time at the Bernabeu, the forward flew from Spain to his homeland during the height of the pandemic in March 2020, despite being instructed to quarantine alongside his teammates. Instead, Jovic chartered a private aircraft to visit the then-29-year-old Sofija for her birthday.
Local reports said he celebrated with his partner on the streets of Belgrade but his actions were met with intense backlash and talks of a six-month jail term were reported for the breach.
Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic criticised his decision to break the rules, stating: “We have the negative example of our football stars who earn millions and have ignored the obligation to self-isolate so they can return home.”
At the time, the Serbian government told all nationals working abroad not to return from countries with a high infection rate. When Jovic headed back to his homeland, Spain had the fourth-highest death rate. For flouting the rules, Jovic was slapped with a €30,000 (£27,000) fine.
However, Jovic’s own father, Milan Jovic, said before the striker was spared prison that a stretch inside could be an appropriate punishment. “Luka had two [coronavirus] tests done and he tested negative on both,” he told Marca. “That’s why he thought he could come to Serbia.
“Now it seems like he’s a major criminal. If he has to go to jail, then he goes. I’m totally in agreement with the [Serbian] president and prime minister [for threatening criminal charges], but only if he’s guilty.
“I would support that decision if he’d done something wrong, but he arrived in Belgrade and stayed at home.
“[His girlfriend] Sofija is pregnant and she couldn’t go out [to celebrate her birthday]. Some photos have emerged of the two out having fun, but they were from Spain.”
Luckily, Jovic avoided prison time and the couple welcomed Aleksej later that year before the arrival of their second child Teodor in 2022.
Sofija was previously in a three-year relationship with footballer Adem Llajic before they split in 2018. She was also romantically linked to tennis player Viktor Troicki and Croatia forward Ante Rebic.
While Jovic also shares a son with his former girlfriend Andela Manitasevic, born in 2019.
The Serbian has fallen far from the heights his career once looked set to reach, but he has certainly refound his goalscoring touch in Greece.
He has netted six times in nine games so far this season, following a campaign where he scored 21 goals in 43 games.
