International news platform, thenews.com.pk, while quoting a source, revealed that the the couple were not together as “he (nole) needs to go find himself. A trial separation may be the only way they can resolve their differences and go forward stronger than ever.”
On the couple’s trial separation, the news platform said a source who spoke to the National Enquirer revealed that the duo’s “marriage and public image have been adversely impacted by nasty fights .
The source explained that the couple had reportedly been “under tremendous financial pressure to fund their lavish lifestyle. That stress coupled with their emotional issues has likely made life a living hell and pushed them to this separation.”

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic once commented on getting married to his then-longtime girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, after winning the 2013 edition of the Shanghai Masters.
Djokovic and Jelena have known each other since they were kids, as they went to the same high school in their home country Serbia. The couple dated for eight years before getting engaged in September 2013 in Monte Carlo.
A month later, the Serb competed in the Shanghai Masters, where he had an incredible run, defeating Marcel Granollers, Fabio Fognini, Gael Monfils, and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to set up a clash with Juan Martin del Potro in the final.
Both gave it their best, but top seed Djokovic maintained his domination in China by defeating his Argentinian opponent 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (3) to win his second Shanghai Masters title and extend his winning streak in the Asian country to 20 matches.
Novak Djokovic attended a press conference following his tournament heroics and discussed getting married to his fiance Jelena Ristic, stating it was the kind of preparation he had never had in his entire life. He added that Jelena will handle all of the event’s organization better than he will.
“That’s a kind of preparation that I never had in my life, so it’s going to be very difficult for me. I will leave most of the part of the organization for the wedding to my fiance. I’m sure she’s going to handle it better than I do,” he said.
When suggested that he could buy some souvenirs in China itself, the Serb replied:
“I’m going to have to buy many gifts, that’s for sure.”
The power couple married in July 2014, less than a week after Djokovic won his second Wimbledon title. The event was held at Sveti Stefan, a small coastal town in Montenegro.
They have been living happily together since then and have two children, an eight-year-old son named Stefan and a six-year-old daughter called Tara.
