Jole reveals secret to his marriage's longevity: 'My wish came true'

Popular Croatian musician Joško Čagalj, known as Jole, and his wife Ana recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, marking two decades of a relationship they describe as being "in great love" like their first day.

“

I didn't marry young, but I wanted one day if I got married, it would be out of love, that we would have a harmonious marriage, that I would have healthy and good children, and my wish came true. Here, my Ane and I are still in great love.

Jole, 54, reflected on his marriage, stating, "I didn't marry young, but I wanted one day if I got married, it would be out of love, that we would have a harmonious marriage, that I would have healthy and good children, and my wish came true. Here, my Ane and I are still in great love."

“

He is the best man you will ever meet in your life, I tell you, but everyone will tell you that, and that is actually something that delights me, but it often annoys me because he is sometimes so good that he gets on my nerves.

Ana shared her admiration for her husband, calling him "the best man you will ever meet in your life." She highlighted his immense kindness, noting an instance where he helped a seriously ill child without mentioning it to her. Jole, in turn, lauded Ana's multifaceted role in their family, calling her "the mother, the cook, the cleaner, the pedagogue, the stylist, the makeup artist – everything." He also humorously noted her strictness as a parent, contrasting it with his more relaxed approach, a difference he proved to her when he successfully managed their three daughters on a trip without her.

“

He has a heart as big as a house. Just yesterday, a lady came to me, he didn't even tell me, he helped a little girl who is seriously ill and helped her so much that he made her life 100% easier.
