The couple are both citizens of Croatia but while Luka was born in a village called Zaton Obrovački which is located in Jasenice, Zadar County, Vanja was born in the city of Varaždin located in Northern Croatia.
Although she was born in Varazdin, it was in Kutina that Vanja Bosnic spent her early life. Her father Milan Bosnic was a basketball player who also ran a restaurant in the area. Her’s was a wealthy family that could afford some measure of luxury but it all fell apart when her parents decided to end their marriage for reasons that are best known to them. Vanja who was only eleven years old when this happened became the responsibility of her mother Vesna Juraić. Vesna moved with Vanja to live with her parents in Zagreb. They struggled to make ends meet but were able to get by with the help of Vesna’s parents.
Because of the hardship, Vanja had to step up and take care of the home while her mother works to put food on their table. Things improved for them with time and Vanja was able to get a degree in economics. Her mother helped her to become an independent woman as she purchased an apartment for Vanja when she was 21 years old and nudged her to embrace living alone and taking care of herself. She started working to take care of herself and would in the process find herself at Mamic Agency which led her to the next and current phase of her life.
