Although Žugić generally keeps her private life out of the public eye, she occasionally shares glimpses of her family life and travels with her followers.

The couple married in a private ceremony in September 2023, welcoming their daughter Čarna just months earlier. Žugić also has a son, Jakša, from her first marriage. Their relationship initially drew considerable media attention because Marko and Anđelka's ex-husband were reportedly close friends. Facing negative comments after their relationship became public, Anđelka later spoke openly about the importance of not letting media buzz influence her personal choices. Her ex-husband also publicly wished the couple well.
On the professional front, the 41-year-old actress is experiencing a successful period in her career. Beyond the popular "Andrija i Anđelka" series, she recently appeared in the Croatian film "Svadba." The Croatian Audiovisual Centre lists her among the cast, alongside other notable actors.
