In a bombshell that has ripped through the tennis world like a 130-mph serve, Jelena Djokovic has publicly accused her husband, 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, of serial infidelity—and declared that their two children, Stefan (8) and Tara (7), deserve “a better father.”
The explosive revelation came in a late-night Instagram Live that has already surpassed 32 million views.
Fighting back tears, Jelena told viewers:
“I’ve been silent for too long. Novak has betrayed me—not once, not twice, but repeatedly. There are messages, hotel receipts, late-night ‘training sessions’ that weren’t training at all. Stefan and Tara deserve a father who chooses family over lies. I don’t think their dad is doing this to us… and to me.”
She went on to claim that Novak’s alleged affairs began as early as 2022, during his Australian Open title defense, and involved “multiple women in different cities—coaches, sponsors, even a journalist.”
Jelena ended with a gut-punch:
“I stayed for the children. But I will not let them grow up thinking this is love. They need a father who is present—in every way. Not just on TV.”
Less than 17 minutes after Jelena went live, Novak posted a four-page statement to his verified X account, titled “THE TRUTH.”
“I have NEVER been unfaithful to Jelena. Not once. There is ZERO evidence—no messages, no receipts, no witnesses—because it never happened. This is a painful fabrication born from private struggles we have been working through in counseling. I love my wife. I love my children. I will fight these lies with every legal tool available.”
He attached a sworn affidavit from his longtime agent and a timeline of his 2022 travel schedule, claiming every “suspicious” night was accounted for by team practices, physio sessions, or charity events.
- #DjokovicCheated is the #1 global trend.
- A leaked WhatsApp screenshot (unverified) allegedly shows Novak messaging a Monaco-based model: “Can’t wait to see you after Dubai š”
- Jelena’s childhood friend posted: “She has proof. Trust me.”
- Novak’s coach, Goran IvaniševiÄ, tweeted then deleted: “Some things should stay private. Sad day.”
Sources close to the couple say divorce papers are being prepared in Switzerland, where the Djokovics reside. Custody of Stefan and Tara will be the central battle—Jelena is reportedly demanding full residency and sole decision-making rights.
Novak has canceled all upcoming exhibitions and is flying to Belgrade tonight to “be with his children.”
One thing is certain: The Djokovic dynasty—once tennis royalty—now hangs by a thread.
