Personal
editDuring mid 2000s, Prodanović started dating the nightclub owner Aleksandar "Mikiša" Moskovljević, having met him while performing at his Oziris discotheque in Šabac as a backup dancer in Mile Kitić's stage act. Soon upon commencing the relationship with 31-year-old Moskovljević, 17-year-old Prodanović moved out of her mother's home to join Moskovljević in his hometown Šabac where the couple began living together. Simultaneously, Moskovljević took the reins of Prodanović's performing career, initiating and overseeing her transition from dancing to singing, and becoming her business manager in the process.[2] Once Prodanović's singing career began taking off, the couple began investing in real estate in Serbia.[3][4]
The couple broke up in 2017 after a decade together though they reportedly kept their business relationship with Moskovljević continuing as Prodanović's manager.[5]
According to media reports, Prodanović began an off again-on again relationship with footballer Vladimir Volkov in 2017.[6][7]
