The daughter of actor Kristijan Ugrina and admirer Ksenija Marinković is getting married, photos from the party emerged!

Marko Perković Thompson, renowned Croatian singer and actor, has long relied on the support of his family during his public appearances, particularly during concerts. As he prepares for a performance in Vukovar, fans eagerly await his show, knowing that his wife, Sandra Rogić, will likely provide him with emotional strength both from the audience and through social media. Thompson has never hidden how much his family's backing means to him in everything he does. The couple met over two decades ago in Toronto, where Sandra had attended a concert without high expectations. After the performance, she wanted to take a photo with the artist, and this simple interaction quickly evolved into a deep relationship. Upon returning to Croatia, Thompson confessed to his friends that Sandra was the woman he wished to spend his life with. They exchanged vows in the Church of St. Elijah in Kljaci, near Čavoglava, and celebrated their wedding on February 14, 2006, symbolically on Valentine’s Day, three years after they had entered a civil union. Their family life gradually expanded: their first child, son Šimun, was born in 2003, followed by Ante Mihael in 2005. Two years later, they welcomed daughter Divu, and in 2010, the family grew further with twin daughters Katarina and Cvita. In search of a quieter life closer to his roots, Sandra and Marko moved from Zagreb to Split in 2013, and today they reside in the Žnjan neighborhood. Speaking about parenthood, Thompson emphasizes that being a father is his most important role, stating that he never wanted his children to feel the burden of his career. Thompson expressed his love for his wife in one of his most famous ballads, "Only Love Is the Secret of Two Worlds." He explained that the lyrics were inspired by the feelings he holds for her, wanting to thank her for all the love she gives him and their children, as well as for everything she does for their large family. Sandra has completely dedicated her life to them, and this song is his small token of gratitude, he told Večernji list. Meanwhile, another notable figure in Croatian entertainment, actress Korana Ugrina, daughter of actors Kristijan Ugrina and Ksenija Marinković, is preparing for her upcoming wedding. Her engagement was revealed by her colleague Vid Ćosić, who shared photos from a pre-wedding celebration on social media. One image shows Korana smiling while holding a glass of wine, with the caption: "Drinking until early morning, marrying our Korana." The atmosphere at the party was relaxed and joyful, as Korana chose to invite her male friends to join the celebration instead of following traditional customs reserved solely for the bride and her female friends. Korana has had several significant life changes in recent years. She became a mother last June, welcoming her first child, a daughter named Luna. Now, she faces another major milestone, her wedding. She has followed in her parents' footsteps, having enrolled in acting studies at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb in 2017 and graduating in 2022 under Professor Krešimir Dolenčić. She began her acting career as a child in the film "Sami" from 2001 and later appeared in the popular series "Crno-bijeli svijet" and the film "Ljubav ili smrt." She received special recognition in 2023 for her role in the play "Tvorničke postavke" at the Moruzgva Theatre, winning the award for best female performance at the GOODfest festival in Drniš. Korana's parents, Kristijan Ugrina and Ksenija Marinković, were once prominent figures in Croatian theatre and television. They divorced in 2005, but Korana and her brother maintained close relationships with their father. Kristijan remarried in 2008 to a Split-based hairdresser named Tamara, and they have a daughter named Marijeta. From his previous marriage to Ksenija, he has a son, Kosta Kai, who works in programming today. With these recent positive developments, including becoming a mother, Korana is now preparing for a new chapter in her personal life. If judged by the atmosphere at her somewhat unconventional bachelor party, the countdown to her wedding has already begun.
