Marko Gačić Welcomes His Third Child as His Father Says He Learned the News From Reporters
Singer Marko Gačić and his fiancée, Saška Stričević, have welcomed a baby boy, according to reports published after Stričević gave birth. The child is Gačić’s third; he has two older children from his previous eight-year marriage to singer Goga Babić.

The announcement took an unexpected turn when reporters contacted Gačić’s father, accordionist Mikica Gačić, to congratulate him. Mikica said he had not known the birth had taken place, telling Telegraf: “I don’t know that she gave birth, I’m hearing this from you for the first time.” He added that he had no further information and would speak with his son once he learned more.

The birth followed public signs that the couple was expecting. Just days before the delivery, Marko shared photographs with his pregnant fiancée and footage from an ultrasound, writing: “We’re counting down. We’re waiting for you, son!”

Coverage has also revisited the circumstances surrounding Gačić’s relationship with Stričević. One report said their relationship attracted attention after Gačić’s marriage to Babić ended and alleged that he had been unfaithful with his new partner. Gačić and Babić share two children, Nikolina and Tadija.

Mikica has previously said that he had not met Stričević and declined to comment on their relationship. He stressed instead that his son should maintain a healthy relationship with Babić and remain devoted to their children.
