Mateo and Vjerana got engaged over three years ago, but there are no plans for a wedding anytime soon, he told the Sunday World in February.

 "We got engaged, we had a child and that wasn't a priority and then corona happened and now we have another baby on the way. The last thing we think about is us,” he said.

Mateo added: "I guess it is a corona baby. Nobody has a plan and nobody is ready for children - not for the first, second or third.

"Right now it's like we have two kids in the house because we have a new puppy. She will grow up with my daughter, they love each other, they are always up to something which is why I'm so busy.

"Isabella is two-and-a-half, she is quite like me. She has her own set of rules, nobody listens to me in the house anymore. I need to go back to work.”
