Croatian model Tatjana Dragovic confirmed today in the local press that she is pregnant. The father is her long-time boyfriend, tennis star Goran Ivanisevic, mostly known as the first-ever player to win the Wimbledon tournament after entering as an unseeded player, in 2001. Tatjana put her modelling career on hold after Goran won Wimbledon title and the couple now live in Tatjana's native Zagreb.

Marie-Anne from Zagreb sent me a hilarious interview with the couple from OK! Magazine. The highlights:

- How did the two of you meet?
Tatjana: Goran called my agency in New York. He left a message and asked me to call him in Long Island, where he was playing in a tournament. I called him and asked him what he wanted but I didn't know who he was.

- Didn't things get off to a rather rocky start?
Goran: We spoke for a year on the phone and then she called me after Wimbledon 1998 and I said I would call her back in ten minutes and I didn't call her for a month! And then we started talking again and then we met again and that's how it started.

- So your relationship was quite a challenge at the start?
Goran: In the beginning it was tough because she was a very proud and stubborn person. It was very hard for me because she didn't understand much about tennis. I always had to explain to her that I had fight all day on the court and that I didn't want to come home and fight with her too. I said to her that I couldn't do it anymore and it was too much. But then she started to understand that our relationship was going to be a little bit different. And now everything is perfect.

-Tatjana, you had some negative press coverage after Goran's win...
I don't know what was going on in the international press because I didn't get a chance to read it but here in Croatia it was unbelievable. I thought they would write more about his success rather than getting involved in his personal life. If I am the right choice or not is nothing to do with his tennis. If it all happened again now I would know how to deal with it, but it was the first time that something like that had ever happened to me.

ROAD LESS TRAVELED
Country News

True, Golden Road is the title of Keith Urban’s new album. But to the sizzling guitar-slinging singer, those words perfectly describe the real-life path he’s traveling.

“ ‘Golden Road’ is a good way to describe the road you’re supposed to be on,” shares Keith. “I was on it for a long time. Then I took some really bad detours and dead ends. Now, I feel like I’m back on track.”

It’s hard to believe that Keith, 2001’s CMA Horizon Award winner and the ACM’s Top New Male Vocalist for 2000, has ever hit so much as a speed bump. But only four years have passed since he struggled with a serious cocaine addiction, ultimately hitting rock bottom.

“At that point, there was major chaos in my life,” confides Keith. “I pushed everybody away. Cocaine kills everything you need – belief and self-esteem.”

His debut album, Keith Urban, scored four hits – including his self-penned No. 1 “But For The Grace Of God” – and went gold, selling 500,000 copies.

Then, just as he started work on his follow-up album, Keith’s world was shaken again when he and his fiancee broke up.

“That was a very hard time,” he admits.

Once again, music played a pivotal role in Keith’s healing process. In fact, his new No. 1 smash, “Somebody Like You,” was written while nursing his heartache.

“When I wrote that song, I was still in the midst of this breakup with my fiancee,” he confides. “It was weird to write about being so positive and secure with that going on. But she really loved me. I could see that. I was going through all sorts of stuff and didn’t like myself. I said, ‘Man, I wish I could love me the way you do.’ That was the inspiration.”

The song inspired a romance-charged video co-starring the woman rumored to be Keith’s current real-life love interest, supermodel Niki Taylor. When asked if there is, in reality, a romance blooming, Keith remains mostly mum.

“We’re friends,” he smiles. “Good friends. She loves country music. A mutual friend suggested we meet because Niki wanted to be in a video. The video is very earthy and organic. She just fit the bill so well.”

Keith claims he doesn’t mind all the talk about him and the girl who has graced a thousand magazine covers. “I’d ask about it, too!” he laughs. “But seriously, I’m really happy with my work right now. Dating is just not a priority. I’m not going to turn down love if it comes along – but it’s the last thing I’m thinking about.”
