Nives Ivanišević is a Croatian television and radio host and actress, married to Goran Ivanišević since December 2017. Born Nives Čanović in Zagreb in 1982, she has built her own public career in Croatian media, separate from her husband's tennis fame.
Career in Croatian Media
Nives has worked as a radio and television host, including a long-running role at Narodni Radio, and has appeared as an actress in Croatian television productions such as Dolina sunca and Sve će biti dobro. She has generally kept her professional and family life separate from public attention, rarely commenting publicly on her relationship with Goran.
Relationship with Goran Ivanišević
Nives and Goran first met several years earlier, but their relationship became public in 2016. The couple married in December 2017 in Zagreb, in a wedding kept largely private.
I really have a beautiful wife who is a great support to me. The job I do isn't easy — I travel a lot and I'm often not at home. Without her support I couldn't do it this way and be at peace, knowing everything's fine at home.
Goran has spoken warmly about her role in supporting his demanding travel schedule as a touring coach, describing her as a major source of stability given how often his work takes him away from home.
Family
Nives and Goran welcomed their son, Oliver, in September 2018 — Goran's third child and Nives's first. Goran also has two children, Emanuel and Amber, from his previous marriage to Tatjana Dragović. Emanuel has followed his father into tennis, earning a scholarship to a U.S. university tennis program.
