He has a passion for heavy metal music and has already directed a short psychological thriller/horror film titled "Mors Certissima." His interests also extend to giant monsters and anime.

If someone touches my husband and children, I turn into a lioness who tears with teeth and claws.

— Martina TomčićTomčić described her protective nature towards her family.

Tomčić, who also has a six-year-younger daughter, Rebeka, emphasizes the importance of family above all else. She stated that she transforms into a "lioness" if her husband or children are threatened. Despite her public profile, Tomčić is fiercely protective of her children's privacy, especially during their teenage years. She limits discussions about them to protect their right to a private upbringing and does not compel them to attend her performances, respecting their choices.

There are situations when they are not happy that their mother is a public figure. That is one of my most painful topics. My children could not choose what I would do, and they are not the only ones. Therefore, I speak minimally about them because they have the right to an unburdened, anonymous upbringing. Especially in puberty.

— Martina TomčićTomčić explained her approach to discussing her children publicly.

While Noa is exploring filmmaking, his younger sister Rebeka has found her passion in dance. Tomčić proudly supports Rebeka's artistic endeavors, including her public performances and competitions. The singer believes that children's actions and behavior reflect their upbringing and serve as a mirror to the family. Noa previously attended a school for graphics, design, and media production before enrolling at Vern University.

I can say that Noa and Rebeka have no obligation to come to my concert. I let them decide for themselves. I respect their wishes and give them support in the segment where it suits them.
