I'm not a lenient father, I maintain a certain discipline, but exactly as they teach us in these religious meetings of ours, but I'm not a fundamentalist, a lunatic who will now harass a child, it makes no sense. Actually, my child has absolute freedom, but within normal measures and boundaries, which I personally consider healthy.

Dropulić shared that he raises their daughter guided by the teachings of the Church and their religious community. "I'm not a lenient father, I maintain a certain discipline, but exactly as they teach us in these religious meetings of ours, but I'm not a fundamentalist, a lunatic who will now harass a child, it makes no sense," he told IN magazin.

Reflecting on his life over the past two decades, Dropulić acknowledges a significant shift. "I must admit that this peace suits me more," he said.

While he no longer pursues music professionally, Dropulić continues to nurture his love for it by singing spiritual songs. He practices his faith daily, incorporating prayer throughout the day and engaging in conversations with God. He also leads a show on a Catholic television channel, integrating his faith into various aspects of his life, from raising his child and interacting with his wife to his work.
