Reality TV Star Samanta Poplašen Finds New Love After Dramatic Weight Loss and Divorce

Samanta Semmy Poplašen, a recognizable figure from the Croatian reality show "Život na vagi" (Life on the Scale), has publicly shared her new romance. She posted a series of intimate photos with her partner, Ivica Lončar, from the picturesque city of Šibenik, confirming their relationship.

In an emotional Instagram post, Poplašen described their love story as unexpected but deeply fulfilling. "They say the most beautiful love stories are those that happen when you least expect them," she wrote. "Perhaps our meeting was just a coincidence, but everything that came after is hard to call accidental." She expressed joy in their shared moments, rituals, and unspoken understanding, emphasizing the uniqueness of their bond.

They say the most beautiful love stories are those that happen when you least expect them. Perhaps our meeting was just a coincidence, but everything that came after is hard to call accidental.

This new chapter follows a challenging period for Poplašen, who announced her divorce from her husband, with whom she shares a daughter, earlier in 2026 after five years of marriage. Her journey on "Život na vagi" was marked by her openness about battling bulimia. She entered the show weighing 148.4 kilograms and has since achieved a remarkable transformation, losing nearly 60 kilograms through persistent effort and lifestyle changes. She continues to share her progress as a digital creator.

Poplašen also celebrated her 30th birthday in May, viewing it as the start of a happier phase. Her recent posts from Šibenik signify a new beginning, filled with a love that, as she noted, brings immense joy to her days.

“

I love our days, our little rituals, spontaneous moments, laughter for no reason, and those seconds when we just look at each other and everything is clear. I love that out of all the places, people, and moments life could have brought us, it's you and I who have our story. And maybe not everyone understands it, but it's enough for us.
