Croatian musician Tiho Orlić becomes a father to baby boy Leo

Croatian musician Tiho Orlić, aged 49, has announced the arrival of his son, Leo, sharing the happy news with fans. The baby was born slightly ahead of schedule, but Orlić assured that "everything is fine" and expressed profound joy at becoming a father.

“

Little Leo is here with us, and I don't know how to describe it to you, it's something indescribable.

"Little Leo is here with us, and I don't know how to describe it to you, it's something indescribable," Orlić shared. He noted that the baby is still under observation but expressed eagerness for the days when he can be constantly with his son. "But what can I say, he's incredibly sweet. He has huge hands like me, he'll probably be a bassist," he added with a smile, hinting at a potential musical legacy.

This happy event follows Orlić's recent marriage to his long-time partner, Petra, in April, surrounded by about fifty close guests. He described the wedding as "perfect" and "absolutely flawless." The couple had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of their son, initially expected in early August, making this year particularly wonderful for the musician.

Orlić, who has been a prominent figure in the music scene since the 1990s, notably collaborating with Marko Perković Thompson for two decades, including their hit duet "Stari se," is also a successful music producer. He has been part of the production team for Melodije Jadrana for many years and is also performing at this year's festival. Despite his busy career, Orlić expressed his readiness and gratitude for fatherhood, stating, "I am ready, thank God for everything, and of course, we are ready."
