Update: Actor Goran Visnjic embroiled in paternity suit

Update: According to Croation magazine Story, Goran has admitted to the affair, saying that he was drunk and does not remember the details of the evening, but is ‘prepared to accept the consequences.’

I do not remember anything, and I am certain that I would not have done something like that if I was not under the influence of alcohol.

He stated that he was not proud of what he had done, and admitted the one-night stand to his wife after Mirela began to threaten and blackmail him.

Originally posted July 6th:ER star Goran Visnjic, 34, is facing a paternity suit less than three months after bringing home a new sonwith his wife of eight years. The Croatian actor is being sued byMirela Rupic, 36, who claims he is the father of her 4-month-olddaughter.

A lawyer for Ms. Rupic says that Goran knew about her pregnancy fromthe start, but she recently decided to sue when Goran told her he wouldfinancially support the child, but would never recognize her as hisown. When the matter was unable to be settled directly with Goran, shebegan legal proceedings.

The next step is to wait for Goran’s response – if he formallydenies paternity, Ms. Rupic and her lawyer plan to sue for a paternitytest.

“…when Goran told her he would financially support the child, but would never recognize her as his own.
…”

wow, that certainly lowers my appreciation for him. :-/

These days, especially with the DNA testing avaliable, his actions seem very stupid to me.

- Sophie on July 6th, 2007

only time will tell if this is true or not – but i too thought that statement to be a terrible representation of him as a father. if i were in the same circumstance i would definitely be angry with the refusal to acknowledge the child.

- meghan on July 6th, 2007

I feel bad for his wife and son. Either way, it will eventually come out, and they will be left with the pieces. When will men learn, if they cheat it will be found out!

- Devon on July 6th, 2007

im a huge fan of him i think im his #1 lol, and what i read is that she(the woman), his mom and his family have denied that the baby was him, i dont know what to think, but the time will say the true, i just said that if its true i dont think he would do that just pay for her, but i dont know but the baby must be gorgeous with that father and i saw the pic of the woman so must be a pretty baby

- denisse on July 6th, 2007

remember….this is only one side of the story. Goran has not responded publically the way Eddie Murphy did…saying he didn’t know whether he was the father or not. I think the way Murphy responded was the reason I lost all respect. I will save my judgment until this one plays out and we hear from Goran. Lawyers have a way of manipulating their cases and public opinion by using the press to their advantage. Look at the Kristy Swanson/Lloyd Eisler fiasco. When only one side is presented people should know enough not to take it as gospel.

“…when Goran told her he would financially support the child, but would never recognize her as his own.”

Um…I think he just did!

- Maria on July 6th, 2007

You can’t sue someone and force them to visit with your child. At least he was willing to pay child support. If he honestly wanted nothing to do with the child, beyond paying for her upbringing, then the mother should at least take what she can get.

Let’s face it — the baby will be better off without him. This way he can take care of the bills and the mother will be free to (hopefully) find a responsible man who will love her and her lovely baby.

- ari on July 6th, 2007

I think this is kind of strange, the first time these rumors came out, a few months ago, the woman quickly denied he was the father, now all of a sudden he IS the father, what gives??

- Caroline on July 6th, 2007

Maria, isn’t that what the woman said he said…heresay as far as I am concerned. Has Goran publicly come out and said these things? I haven’t heard anything. This whole story is coming from this woman and her lawyer. I still wait and reserve judgment til I hear BOTH sides of the story. I was and always will be a Goran fan, his private life is just that….private!!

- tink1217 on July 6th, 2007

tink1217 – I think if he wanted to keep it private he would have dealt with it before it hit the public, since these rumors have been around for a while.
However I think there’s more to this story that we don’t know about.

- Caroline on July 6th, 2007

i still say this is a manipulation ploy by her lawyer…sway public opinion. Doesn’t matter to me…he is still an excellent actor.

- tink1217 on July 6th, 2007

“i still say this is a manipulation ploy”

Now that’s a part I agree with, just not sure about the lawyer thing, I would think someone else, with an agenda.

- Caroline on July 6th, 2007

We’ll just have 2 wait and see what Goran replies with (if he does)and see if a paternity test will be done.

If the test confirms this woman’s claims, Visjnic is just added to the list of The Unfaithfuls

- TDan on July 6th, 2007

I think he should make sure if the baby IS HIS OR NOT, it isn’t that complicated after all!!!!

Don’t know why men who think they might be fathering some baby always wait too much to take the DNA test, it’s just unresponsible and stupid.

For the best interest of the baby I hope is really his because with the internet and all the easy ways of communication, when that baby reaches enough age, she will find out what involved her birth and all that scandal… what a shame to know all of this.

- Viviana on July 6th, 2007

The whole thing, adoption included, is a giant media manipulation by his wife. Don’t believe anything you read.

- BJ on July 7th, 2007

Sounds like anther eddie murphy situation. Anyway with DNA now, doesn’t take long to prove things.

- Gabriella on July 7th, 2007

i feel sorry for him. he was willing to pay for that baby and now that woman decidec to force him to recognize baby as his daughter. he acted like a man forced to take care of baby he didn’t wanted and she acts like a woman who wants to get money for only bearing a child

- ellie on July 7th, 2007

This little girl and her mother live in a small community and everyone knows everything there, so she’ll be more than aware of who her father is.
BTW, it looks like it is true. It’s not a secret in Croatia. As for why she denied it before, I think Goran made it a condition to giving her child support. And he also rented an apartment for her and the baby. Also, his family has been visiting their granddaughter regularly.
And it seems to me that this might be the reason why they adopted, Ivana (his wife) made some nasty comments about single mothers, that didn’t make sense till this story came out.
Hope this clears the story a little.
Also, paternity won’t be that easy to prove since Goran lives in the US, and has said that he isn’t coming to Croatia for a while.And it takes time and money that a single mother doesn’t have, especially if he stops paying child support.

- Sanja on July 7th, 2007

Regardless of whether this child is his or not, he’s still admitted to having an extramarital affair by saying he would be financially supportive. Maybe he didn’t get her pregnant, but he’s obviously playing the field. He’s a married man. What happened to fidelity? There is WAY TOO MUCH emphasis on sex.

I agree, he should take a paternity test to find out. Hopefully, he’s also had STD testing done (and his wife too).

- Heidi on July 7th, 2007

Wait, STOP – At first his mother denies her son has a daughter with this woman, and now she’s visiting her grandaughter??

I would say someone is playing this story here and there, someone who wants to demage his name.

And why did Ivana adopt a child to cover her husband’s infidelity?? Just get divorced.
He’s clearly unhappy so why keep it going??

- Caroline on July 7th, 2007

I won’t be quick to judge Goran because the details of the story are not that clear so far.

I’ve always liked him as an actor and as soon as I read this story I remembered that he had adopted a baby a while back and it came as a big suprise to me!

However, he must take the test and be responsible no matter what.

Ari- I think it’s not only about the money. I agree, if he doesn’t want his own child (should the baby proved to be his) then the child will be better off without him.

But if the child is proven to be his then she deserves to have her daddy’s name at least in paperwork.

I mean, I don’t know about over there, but in my country non recognized children by their fathers and their mothers get through a lot of criticism throughout their lives–and that’s just so so sad and unfair.

- Althea on July 7th, 2007

The woman is by FAR better looking than his wife, funny I wouldn’t blame him for cheating.

I have a photo of the woman pushing the stroller in case anyone wants to see it.

- Caroline on July 8th, 2007

Mhmm…

I’m sorry but being drunk does not excuse your actions. Even if you are drunk, you know what you are doing. Even if you are REALLY drunk, you know what you are doing. If you drunk to the point when you black out, it still doesn’t excuse your actions.

I’m sad that he confessed to his wife AFTER she started blackmailing him. That’s low. If he really was sorry for what he had done he would have confessed right away.

I have lost all respect for him.

- Devon on July 11th, 2007

“I do not remember anything, and I am certain that I would not have done something like that if I was not under the influence of alcohol.”

So I guess this is what he said to his wife when he was facing the barrel of the gun (translation: “It wasn’t anything, I don’t love her”, etc.) I think that this statement is really low. I hate when men use the old “drunk” excuse for their infidelity, and it just goes along with a male chauvinist way of thinking that women are only good for throwaway sex.

Why not be a MAN and admit that you were messing around? “Oh, I would NEVER do this under “normal” circumstances…blah, blah, blah”. He’s probably been screwing around for years and finally got caught. Don’t feel sorry for him one bit.

- Sam on July 11th, 2007

he’s rumored to have had an affair with co-star Maura Tierney. My my – Now I believe those rumors as well.

“We were just practicing for a scene” Is that what he’ll use as an excuse??

- Caroline on July 11th, 2007

Caroline, I used to be a huge ER fan, and I remember hearing those rumors too. I assumed it was fangirls confusing the character with the actor so this is an interesting turn of events.

I cannot wait to see how this unfolds, to see if its better or worse than is seems.

- alexa on July 11th, 2007

Sanja I don’t understand how him having an outside baby would be a reason for them to adopt. Can you explain? It’s sad that his wife feels that way about single mothers.

- Pete on July 11th, 2007

If the story is true and he agreed to pay child support, but not to acknowledge the baby publicly, he’s scum. You never take it out on the child. It’s the adults who do wrong.

- Angie on July 11th, 2007

If he doesn’t remember anything how could he admit to his wife what he had done?

- terri on July 11th, 2007

“he’s rumored to have had an affair with co-star Maura Tierney. My my – Now I believe those rumors as well.”

Why?

- Hea on July 12th, 2007

i feel sorry for him and hope that baby isn’t his.

- ellie on July 12th, 2007

Pete – Goran said in a interview to a Croatian magazine (the one he and Ivana give all their exclusives)that they have been trying to get pregnant for years and that, even though medically everything is ok, they haven’t succeeded. I just meant that Ivana wouldn’t be the first woman trying to keep her husband/boyfriend with a baby.The timing seems a bit of to me, your husband tells you that he got another woman pregnant and then you decide to adopt?
Goran said in the interview that he had the affair with Mirela, but he was drunk… and that they will do a DNA test, but if the girl is his he doesn’t plan to have anything to do with her because he doesn’t get along with her mother.
BTW, Mirela and Goran are old school friends and the baby’s name is LANA LOURDES and she is 4 months old.

- Sanja on July 12th, 2007

Why?

O gee, I don’t know, a man who is capable of doing this and blaming on the drink
Who flys to south America to promote a show he’s not a part of anymore without wife and new child and goes around saying “It was one of the ten best things I did in my life”
Who spends summer promoting a show he’s not on, who says works comes before his family, who says his life has not changed with the baby… … …
And there are people who still believe he’s a happily married man! Oh please!
How desperate is his wife to call the lover and say that her marriage is too solid to be ruined like that?? Yeah, solid enough for him to sleep around and only confess because he got the woman pregnant and she started blackmailing him.

- Caroline on July 12th, 2007

“Why?” – Are you sirious??? With all the rumors, with these breaking news, with him beeing spoted in Chicago with Maura in a restaurant when they weren’t filming??

And there are people who actually still say he is a happily married man! – Ha! Very happy indeed! I have to say, this type of Happiness is not the type I want for my marriage!

- Caroline on July 12th, 2007

The reason this Mirela denied Goran’s paternity 3 weeks ago and now changed her mind is because she hoped (as per Goran;s promises) this would all be resolved outside the courtrooms and press. But since Goran and his wife Ivana apparently have a way with words left on Mirela’s answering machine (i.e “I’m gonna hate this child for the rest of my life”)- I would get ticked off and drag it out into public.
Let me add that Goran does not have a very good track record with women dating from times he still lived and worked in Croatia, and even his marriage to Ivana was seen as very opportunistic.
I am completely, 100% behind Mirela and I think that 10.000 kuna she’s asking for in child support is not nearly enough considering what that child will have to go throug for the rest of her life.

- Eva on July 12th, 2007

timing seems a bit of to me, your husband tells you that he got another woman pregnant and then you decide to adopt?

Exactly. I mean she probably couldn’t take that her husband had an affair and has a child with another woman.
There are tapes of phone calls now.
Mirela is goin to release it. So, I guess his one night stand excuse goes down the drain hum??

- Caroline on July 12th, 2007

I think if this woman is going to extort money from he and his wife, that he should insist on the DNA test and then if it is his child and his wife could handle it, go for custody of this little girl and give this Croatian women nothing. It sounds to me she is only after his money or to destroy his marriage.

- Gwen on July 12th, 2007

Goran and I come from same country and I always admire him and was so proud till I read that stupidity about him beeing drunk n no remembering anything. His current wife did very malicious thing by leaving nasty messages to Ms. Mirela Rupic ( alleged woman he had affair with). Shame on you Goran and Ivana

- Jelena on July 19th, 2007

I was reading here a little bit and saw how there is interwiev of Goran in magazine “story”.What to say about him?There are don’t enough words.Person who could say how his daughter could come to him on conversation don’t desirve any respactable any more.Bellow there are interwiev of woman of their little girl in magazine “Gloria” so you could see her side of story.I think on much more higher level than what Goran did in his.His words actually “talk” about him.
This is translate interwiev of mother of little baby:
Gloria magazine, number 654, 19.07.2006.
Exclusive interview of Mirela Rupic
journalist: Kristinka Scavina
“My truth about Goran Visnjic”

With public confession that he cheated on his wife Ivana (39) (with who he is in marriage for eight years), Goran Visnjic (36), star of the TV serial “ER” , became main subject last week. His sin was on every front page of daily newspapers and TV shows were having debates about his case. Public was shocked with actors statements. His statements about Mirela Rupic(36), woman from Sibenik who pressed charges against Visnjic demanding DNA testing and alimony in amount of 10 000 kuna, were louder than his confession about adultery. Especialy shocking ahd insulting were were actor’s words about 4 month old Lana Lourdes, for who she told that it is a product of a one night stand, which happend to him, he says, in condition of heavy drunkness.

In that way Goran Visnjic and his wife Ivana, daughter of movie director Antun Vrdoljak, in only two ugly appearence in newspapers succeeded to destroy actor’s positive image (that he was building for years).

What Ivana started in her story about adopting little American boy Tin when she told very bad things about self- supporting mothers, Goran finished last week. He said that if it will be proved that Lana is his daughter- one day when she groves up she is free to come visit him and talk to him, and that they can be in good relations if she groves up in a good-mannered creature.

Ever since the name of Mirela Rupic one month ago appeared in the press, she and her family in Sibenik are living like under state of siege. Mirela almost doesn’t go out of the appartment because reporters and photographs are siegeing the front door of the building where she lives with her parents.

While we were talking to Mirela, her parents were feeding their little granddaughter and they were amuseing her. She is a cheerful girl with a big blue eyes and dark hair. And 13 years old Ivan, Mirela’s son from the first marriage, was playing in another room during our interview. Later he joined us and as the real expert for technology , he helped his mum to solve some problems with computer. Looking at her children, Mirela is not hideing that she is proud of them and that she loves them. Later, when we were left alone and when I turned on a dictaphone (tapeing recorder), I saw pain and suffering on her face.

Gloria: How did you feel when you read Goran’s interview in the newspapers?

MR: It wouldn’t be enough to say that I was deeply hurt and shocked. But after all those horrible lies and insults I found the strength to tell my self: Mirela, wait! You know very well that Goan could not look into your eyes and say those words that he said in that interview. And he cannot stand in front of the mirror, looking at himself, and repeat all that because he knows very well that those were notorious lies.

Nobody ever hurt me in that way. I was reading that article and I couldn’t stop crying. I asked myself: why did he have to do iz in that way. He could try to figure out some answers, but not to lie.

G: Did all this stress reflect on your health?

MR: I lost 5 kilograms in a week because I hardly eat one doenut in a day. I’m not breast- feeding my daughter because I think that my milk is not a good food for a baby, considering what situation I’m going through. Aldo I look like I feel OK at the first sight, I’m very sensibile person and I’m affraid of the illness. Last year doctors diagnosed me 2 benign tumors, one under my arm and another on the left side of my chest. So I’m affraid that they could turn into malign because of the big stress. I had to make another control , but I didn’t because in the meanwhile I got pregnant. But I’m always repeating to myself that this must not happen because my Lana has only me. And that is why I have to live.

G: What opinion did you have about Goran before and what opinion do you have now?

MR: Goran is a good person, I know that. He attracted me because he was so simple, artless and warm. I’m not some 15 years old girl who is fascinated with someone’s status or glory. I liked him because he stayed unchaged in spite everything that he had achieved. He was never stuck up or arrogant. There is an expression that money and power change people. I’m sure that they didn’t change him. Today, after everything, I think the same. I know that circumstances in some way influx him. Those were not his words in that interview. I’m sure that somene else speaks instead of him. I don’t want to make excuses for him now. From the very beginning I knew that he wants to stay in marriage. I swear that I never had a goal to ruin his marriage. That is not my goal now and it will never be. Although he hurt me dreadfully, I know that he is not a bad person. Those hard words that he said about me, I have allready forgiven him, but I will never forget them. I would only like if he could think for himself more in this situation, and not to be a marionet in the hands of the others.

G: What did hurt you the most from the things that were said?

MR: Disgusting lies that I blackmailed him with taped conversations and that I was demanding from him to value does my silence cost 200 000 or 2 million Euros. And that I didn’t tell him about my pregnancy until fifth month of pregnancy. It also hurted me his statment that Lana is free to go visit him one day when she grows up in a well- mannered creature. It also hurted me that he said that he never considered me like attractive woman. Although, those words say more about the person that said them because I can’t imagine that someone has such low criterions for sharing his intimacy with anybody. If he was un-attractive man for me, he certainly wouldn’t be a part of my life.

G: Why dis you save Goran’s voice messages?

MR: Those were messages on the machine of my mobile phone. They show that we had normal comunication all the time, from July 2006 till February this year, untill the conflicts that started after his wife left me messages at 7th of February. Goran was calling me all the time, approximately one call every week. We were talking about everything, what have happened on the TV set of ER and about strange feeling when he left the serial because till then he was getting up every morning at 6 o’clock. He was telling me about his plans with movie about Ante Gotovina, he agreed to act for free in that project. There were a plenty of nice conversations about the things that were happening to us. When he couldn’t reach me, Goran would leave a voice message on my mobile phone telling me that he called me. I saved them just because I wanted to have something nice from him.

G: And which conversation with Goran did you tape?

MR: Just the last one, when I realised that he is not going to recognise Lana. He insisted that I should deny in the medias that he is the father of child. Then he promissed to me that he will help me financially if I will keep quiet. And that maybe after few years he will admit that she is his. I insisted that he should recognise her presently, but he was against that. He said that that will destroy his life.He said to me:”If we will go to court and if we will kill each other in the newspapers, then I don’t want to have anything with her (baby), do you understand me? And second thing- after few years, I don’t know when, we will do this in a peacefull way, then I will be able to give her some attention. And if we will do it in this way, then I don’t want to have anything with that. Because nobody can force me to go there, to spend some time with her or to see her”.
That was a difficult conversation that opened my eyes. But I never thought that I should blackmail him with that tape. I feel like he was blackmailing me.

G: Were you suspicious that something will change “in a few years” and is that the reason why you insisted that Goran should recognise Lana immediately?

MR: Everyting else was just draging and I wanted identity for my child- the name of the father in a birth certificate. I was never greedy for money. I never wanted to ask anything else from Goran but alimony for our child. This is not divorce-suit and I don’t have any right to demand his belongings.

G: Goran made a statment that- if Lana is his child, she was conceived in a one night adventure when he was drunk. Was he really drunk that night?

MR: That was not one night adventure and Goran and I were not drunk that night. Goran had 2 beers that night and I had 2 deciliters of wine (one glass). When we were together, Goran was never drunk. If we would go to a public place- and that wasn’t very often- we would have one or two drinks and I can’t tell that this is drunkenness in which would man can lose his memory.

G: Was any of you using birth control?

MR: No. Sometimes it is difficult to find an answer on the question “Why not?”. But I never regreted it because product of that unwairness is one beautiful little creature that I adore.

G: When did your friendship became a romance?

MR: Our relationship became more than friendship in summer 2003. He was in Sibenik, staying for very short time, just a few days. We were with big company (friends) in Hacienda club in Vodice, but the two of us separeted from them and we were talking. We were not making out in a public place, but there was chemistry between us from the very beginning. I’m just a woman made of flesh and blood, and in that time I was free, I liked him and It happened… Since that time and untill last summer nothing happened between us.

G: And when did it all start again?

MR: At the beginning of June last year. Whe didn’t meet accidentaly. Goran called me on the phone and invited me to go out for a drink. It was Friday night, and I was really tired because I was working all day in marina. So I said that I can’t go out. After 4 or 5 days he called me again and then we went out together. Goran was staying in Sibenik till the end of June (except he went to Egypt for few days). I would lie if I would say that we were going out every day, but it is also not true that we were together only one night. It happened more times. We were also going to the public places, match between Croatia and Brasil we watched together in one pizzeria. We were also spending time alone, just a two of us.

G: DID GV EVER PROMISSED U ANYTHING RELATED TO THE FUTURE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

MR: No, nor did I expected him so. Subcounciously, maybe yes, but in real no. We realy had a nice time together, we developed mutual atraction combined with emotional understanding. But, both of us were aware of the situation. Qwestion of what will become of us or his marriage, we never brought up.

G: DID HE EVER TOLD U THAT HE LOVED U?

MR: No.

G: WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN EMOTIONS, WERE U IN LOVE?

MR: I am un emotional person and I can’t be intimate with a man with whom I don’t feel wery close. I dont know if that could be called infatuation, but I surely wasn’t indifferent. But, I repeat, I didn’t wish to ruin his marriage cause I don’t want to build my own happyness on somebodyelse’s misfortune.

G: Were U feeling guilty because of un affaire with a married man?
MR: No. I am free , without anyone to unswer qwestions about my behavior. Goran is the one with obligation and I think that he should have thought of his marriage. Anyway, if they split, it won’t be my fault. I wish them all the best luck.

G: DID GV CONFIDE IN U, 4 EXAMPLE HIS MARITAL PROBLEMS?

MR: After I have told him about being pregnant, he got scared about how it would reflect on his life and marriage. He knew that some day he should tell his wife, and he felt bad about it. We talked about that as friends. I said that it was not my intention to ruin his life nore his marriage, and he replyed: “If only she weren’t from that family that she is from, everything would be different.

G: WHILE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP, HOW DID U FEEL ABOUT HIS WIFE- AS UN RIVAL OR JUST SOMEONE SO FAR AWAY?

MR: In my mind, I refused to think about her.

G: When did u realized that u were pregnant?

MR: BY THE END OF JULY, after my period missed, I did a home test. When it turned positive, I was shocked. Then I’ve sent SMS to Goran to call me. So he did and I told him I was pregnant. He was suprised, and replyed that we shall discusse it in person when he comes in Šibenik in a couple of days. (He was cruising on a yaht at The Adriatic sea with his wife and some friends). He came to Šibenik on July 28th or 29th, called me, and we went around 11AM on an old fortress Subicevac, to talk in peace. We talked inside the car, cause we din’t want anyone to spot us.

G: HOW DID GORAN RESPONDED AFTER U TOLD HIM?

MR: He was very kind and gentle to me, althougt it was obviously that it was very difficult to him. Even thou we discussed that too, Goran didn’t asked me to terminate my pregnancy. I will never forget his sentence :”I’m afraid to speak a word in order not to say something wrong.” He showed me so much humanity and suptility in himself, with that single sentence.He ended our conversation with: “We’ll talk more over the phone.” And really, when we spoke on the phone he said: “OK, now, what it is , it is. Let’s move ahead”

G: DID HE CALLED U BACK AFTER HIS RETURN TO US, OR DID U CALL HIM?

MR: He called me. If I wanted to hear from him, I would leave a voice message, and he would called back, same or next day. AsI had to stay at home, laying in bad, because of pregnancy complications, I was home alone on the New Years Eve. And G. called at 23.50 and we talked untill midnight.

I will never forget that so human gesture of his. Cause It was clear to me from the very beginning that he is in love with his wife, and that we will never be together, inspite the child that was already on the way. But that call on New Years midnight, I saw as a human gentle stroke, to make me feel better at a difficult moment.

G: WHEN DID HE TOLD HIS WIFE THAT HE’LL GET A BABY WITH U?

MR: He called on feb 7th and said that he told her everything and that she already forgave him. I replyed that I expected no more. Than he , for the first time asked me to not reveal anyone that he was the father.

G: WHAT HAPPEN NEXT?

MR: I swiched off my cell, for it was 11PM. In the morning, there were 2 voice messages from his Wife. I almost collapsed, when I heard what she said to me. Such disgusting insults and vulgarity could rarly be heard. I was 8 months pregnant, I got sick and was rushed to the ER, ended on IV.

G: WHY WAS YOUR PREGNANCY RISKY?

MR: I had to ly in bed 4 the whole pregnancy, ended up in hospital only 2 weeks after I knew I was pregnant, due to a bleeding, which scared me. I was so week and miserable that nigth, thinking that I just might loose my baby that nigth. G. called 12 (twelwe) times, cause he knew that there was complications in the meanwhile, but I couldn’t answer. He called from skiing vacations when I lied in hospital bed for serclation operation. He was very warried, but also frightend, cause at the time he hadn’t confess to his wife yet.

I was 5 times hospitalized during pregnancy, and G. contacted with me all the time

G: WERE U FRIGHTEND THAT THERE WON’T BE A BABY’S FATHER TO AWAIT U FROM THE MATERNETY WARD?

MR: While I was still pregnant and in hospital, it was so painfull to watch other men visiting there’s pregnant partners. However strong, it hurts u inside so much. I remember in December night, while I was in the hospital, there was a movie “Long Dark Night” (by Antun Vrdoljak, Ivana Višnjic’s father as a director- Dr Mom), with G, in the main role. It was Sunday evening, and no one in the room noticed that I was crying. I shread a whole lots of tears, during pregnancy, and later. Last 2 months of my pregnancy tears would just run down my cheaks, when ever I heard a song “An Angel Inside You”, (by (Croatian singer Gibonny- a song that tells about a father who refuses to recognise a child)- cause I recognised G. atittude not to admitt his child in it, but I have also find a strenght to endure, knowing that I’m the only suport in life my baby-girl has. Ther, biological mother of baby Tin had a perfect conditions while giving birth with desired Bob Marley music, and I was searching for strenght in, (very sad Croatian pop-song; Transl.), that “An Angel Inside You” song. That’s life.

G: AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO LANA, WHEN DID U SPOKE TO GV AGAIN?

MR: We spoke the day before, and he also called on March 22nd, – day after Lana was born. But I could’n answer, so he just left a voice mail, and called again on 24., and that day he heard 4 the 1. time from me that we got a baby girl. There’s no conditions 4 long converations in maternity ward, but I gazed in Lana as we spoke, and tried to decribe him what she looked like. She was 3550 grams /51 cm, had a long dark hair, and nurses did her hairstyle every morning. I was sorry that I couldn’t have sent him a picture, cause his American network don’t alow MMS.

G: WHAT WILL U SAY TO GV NEXT TIME U SEE HIM, EVEN IF IT WAS IN COURT?

MR: What ever I have to say, it won’t be harsh. He is the father of my child, and if I said anything bad about him , that would be as spitting on myself. I can’t imagine saying ugly, nasty things about someone I’ve been intimate with. Whatever bad he ever said about be, I won’t return in the same tone.

I have held Goran in high regards. Right now, I think he is below recogonition. I real man takes resposibilty for his actions. It is not someone elses fault that he impregnanted another woman. Apparently, it was not a one-night stand, he has been involved with the mother of his child since 2003, needless to say they went to elementary school togehter. If you were to see the photos of the little girl, there is no need for any DNA testing. He should just be a man and a good Catholic and simply rcognize his actions and avoid further insult to his daughter.

It is a real shame that the articles in the Croatian Magazine’s have not reached the American media. Especially, an interview which he gave regarding the whole paternity dilema. he basically came out looking like an arrogant, irresponsible and condesending asshole. I use to love the guy, now I don’t even consider him human. Here are few things he said; 1. “…i will not reconginze her as my own…” 2. “…my wife and I sponsor many charities, such as animals, so we can help out one more human being (refering to his daughter)…” 3. “…she can speak with me if she grows up to be a respectful person…” He is a poor description of a croatian man and a catholic, I really hope he does a little damage control. His interview was a horrible display of his charcter.

If you want to know what Goran’s fans think about his Paternity Issue, his extra-marital affair and everything related to that scandal, I suggest you to go to:

IMO what he needs to do ASAP is to be available for the samples for the DNA Test and find out if the girl is HIS or NOT. Delaying the test only makes it worst for that little baby and for him as well.

Uncertaintity is something emotionally painful in these cases.
