Jelena Dokic\u2019s boyfriend Yane Veselinov has shared a cryptic new social media post days after his famous partner\u2019s emotional Logies acceptance speech.<\/p>\n

Dokic won the Silver Logie for Best Factual or Documentary Program for Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story during Australian TV’s night of nights at The Star in Sydney.<\/p>\n

The retired tennis star hit the red carpet solo at the Logies despite recently going public with Veselinov, a Melbourne-based hospitality relations manager.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Veselinov returned to social media for the first time since the glitzy awards night and shared a picture of a stunning Melbourne sunrise with the caption \u201cGood morning Melbs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Veselinov describes himself on Instagram as a “food and wine enthusiast, pleasure seeker and life enjoyer”.<\/p>\n

In her Logies speech, Dokic made an emotional tribute to her close friend and fellow tennis great Todd Woodbridge<\/a>, but made no mention of her partner.<\/p>\n

“Todd Woodbridge, I don’t know where you are, there,” she said, scanning the crowd.<\/p>\n

“Todd. You’re my person.<\/p>\n

“I say that, and this makes me cry so much because I sat down with you on the table 11 years ago when I retired, and you said to me that I can be a commentator and speaker and bring my story to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woodbridge, 54, appeared to wipe away a tear following Dokic\u2019s sweet tribute.<\/p>\n

Dokic described herself as “a person who couldn’t string two sentences together, look people in the eye, had no social skills left”, and credited Woodbridge with giving her the belief to rebuild.<\/p>\n

“You were the only one who believed in me, especially professionally,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for that. I always say to everyone, ‘Be someone\u2019s Todd’, and I hope that everyone finds a Todd like I did.”<\/p>\n

Dokic confirmed her relationship with Veselinov last month<\/a> after SkyNews.com.au published bombshell footage of the pair getting cosy at Melbourne Airport.<\/p>\n

“You are my calm, safe, peaceful and happy place. So glad I found you,” Dokic wrote alongside a romantic snap with her new partner.<\/p>\n

Dokic split from her previous partner Tin Bukic in late 2022 after an almost two-decade-long relationship.<\/p>\n

She recently opened up on the Mental As Anyone podcast about how the demise of her relationship jeopardised her plans to start a family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in a relationship for almost 19 years from the age of 20, and right when we split up, we were about to start trying for a family,\u201d Jelena said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jelena Dokic\u2019s boyfriend Yane Veselinov has shared a cryptic new social media post days after his famous partner\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,39023,11776,34652,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-44710","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boyfriend","11":"tag-jelena-dokic","12":"tag-logies","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
