This season, the Denver Nuggets centre has been in the news for breaking NBA records, but his tiny daughter has taken centre stage. The Serbian basketball player and his wife Natalija, who is also from Sombor, Serbia, have a 1-year-old daughter named Ognjena. High school sweethearts Nikola and Natalija have been dating since they were 17 years old. They got married in their hometown in October 2020, and a year later they welcomed their daughter.
Even though they haven’t shared many details about their family life, the couple has shared some adorable photos of their newborn daughter. Apart from the pictures that Natalija shares on Instagram, Ognjena has attended a number of her father’s games as a spectator.

She most recently supported her father at his team’s NBA Championship victory over the Miami Heat.
This is all the information you need about Nikola’s daughter.
Her birthday is September 2021.

Pregnancy was kept secret by Nikola and Natalija until after the birth of their daughter in September 2021. Natalija announced the news on New Year’s Day in 2022 when she shared a picture from her baby shower with the message, “Thank you 2021, you were my favourite so far.”In May 2022, she made her Instagram debut. A few months after announcing Ognjena’s arrival, on May 27, Natalija posted the first picture of her daughter. In the picture, Ognjena was seen touching Nikola’s MVP medal while sporting a pink dress.

Ever since launching her Instagram account in May 2022, Ognjena has gone to multiple games that her father plays. Natalija posted a picture of Ognjena clutching Nikola’s game ball from his 100th triple-double on Instagram in March 2023. After a game in May 2023, Ognjena was seen in a cute video posted by Bleacher Report pointing to her ring finger, which appeared to be a reference to her father trying to win his first league championship. He makes the same endearing move in the video. “I believe that everyone with a spouse and children ought to be content with the people who stand by them,” Nikola said, speaking to Serbia’s Arena TV regarding his family’s attendance at games. “When you have a normal life, it lifts you up and only helps you.”
She went to the NBA championship in 2023.
Ognjena supported her father on June 12, 2023, when the Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat to win the NBA Championship. When he received the MVP Trophy for the Bill Russell Finals, he even took his daughter out on the floor.
