Jelena Dokic and her boyfriend Yane Veselinov set engagement rumours alight at The Logies earlier this month – and now insiders are wondering if their recent holiday to Bali could be the romantic spot for a proposal!
Last week, former Australian tennis champ Jelena and her Macedonian ‘Prince Charming’ Yani were grinning from ear-to-ear as they jetted out of Melbourne airport, headed for the Indonesian hotspot.
Sharing a slew of images to Instagram, the relaxed, happy star looked to be in her element as she and Yani checked into a luxury hotel, sharing a glimpse of their pool set against the backdrop of Bali’s famed rice fields and friends say the author, who believes in the power of positive thought, could be “manifesting” a proposal.
“There’s no doubt she was doing just that when she donned that diamond ring [at The Logies], hoping her fairy-tale ending is not too far away,” says a friend of the tennis star, referring to the whopping diamond ring she borrowed from Melbourne jewellersTemelli Jewellery.
JELENA DOKIC IN LOVE!
Visiting Ubud’s famous heart-shaped arch in the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, the loved up duo looked smitten with one another and fans couldn’t help commenting that the area would be the perfect spot for a wedding.
It certainly seems like Jelena couldn’t be happier with hospitality operations manager Yani who she calls her “calm, safe, peaceful and happy place”.
Amid the calming surrounds of Bali’s rice fields, the motivational speaker and author shared with followers that she is focused on “rising and thriving” and is determined to keep “believing in herself”.
“Stay kind, soft and a good person with a good heart. Keep choosing peace, truth, kindness, empathy and compassion. Never allow anyone to take your smile and your worth away. You are enough,” Jelena, who has battled depression after years of abuse from her late father, wrote in an Instagram post.
READY TO PUT A RING ON IT!
There’s no doubt Yani is contributing to Jelena’s happiness after her devastating split with her long-term partner, Tin Bikic in 2021 after 19 years together.
In fact, things seem to be moving fast between Jelena and Yani, who have been seen out and about in their home city of Melbourne, going on romantic dates and getting to know each other even better.
And while Jelena quickly shut down any chatter of an engagement, she still has lots to celebrate after winning her first ever award for her powerful documentary Unbreakable.
BOOK NUMBER THREE INCOMING!
“It’s been incredible. I mean, [to be] number one in cinemas and to have already won awards and be at film festivals,” Jelena gushed to Woman’s Day from The Logies.
“The support has been incredible, but I always say it’s not even me, it’s so much bigger than me, it’s the support going to all the victims and survivors and everyone that’s ever survived domestic violence and mental health.”
And it’s just another milestone for the talented star who reveals she’s already working on her third book after releasing inspirational tomes Unbreakable and Fearless.
“I’m working on my third book at the moment, so I’m really excited about that. [I’m] just pushing forward. I always have something up my sleeve, so we’ll see what happens.”
