She said: ‘I have to admit that I like to read comments about the height difference between Boban and me.
‘Some of the comments are so funny they make me laugh with tears in my eyes!
‘Sure, there are also negative comments, but when a person is happy and satisfied with what they have, they don’t pay attention to those kind of comments.’

She said: ‘At the beginning what bothered me the most was that we couldn’t plan anything because we didn’t know his schedule in advance.
‘In time I developed the ability to predict, so now I know when we can expect a free day.
‘That is something that I am used to now. Birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations generally pass by without Boban.
‘But these are minor things. I put Boban and his needs first, so he is surrounded at home with positive energy and in that way we contribute to his game.’
Marjanovic also represents his national team and was one of the best players in this year’s FIBA EuroBasket where Serbia took second place.
EuroBasket is the main men’s international basketball competition in Europe.
