My Women

Only women with whom Tito allegedly had children or was married to are listed. All the facts are taken from "The Loves of Josip Broz", a book researched with Tito's consent and written by Filip Radulovic. All other women with whom Tito also had relationships of some kind are (in his own words to Radulovic) "too numerous to find out".

During that time he also meets Mrs. Klara. Marusa does take some money from father so Tito buys himself a suit. He borrows money from other workers constantly and reads a lot. He suggests they would have a child together but she wants to marry first. He promises her marriage. Then she confesses she already is engaged but wants to dump her fiancé. Klara also sends him money and goes to live with her when he learns about Marusa's love. Klara was older than Tito and that stopped him from marrying her.

First he is informed he was nominated for the member of the Executive Committee of the Comintern, but at the Congress he isn't elected. But they get the permission to marry. The registrar asks for any possible hindrances and Tito doesn't admit he is still married to Pelagija and has a child with her, because he could be accused of bigamy, so he says there are none.

But he uses every opportunity to sleep with her, so his people are always looking for a good spot for them to make love. She is pregnant. He suggests she shouldn't have an abortion. They can give the child in the custody of a family until the war is over... She gives birth and a family in Foca takes the baby. She gets tuberculosis. The Communists want to call a meeting of the Central Committee with one issue only: his personal relationship with his private secretary. At the meeting present were 37 party members, including Aleksandar Rankovic, Milovan Djilas, Mosa Pijade, Cana Babovic, Sreten Zujovic, Vladimir Smirnov... Tito says punish me, but I can't be without her. He has to promise he will marry her after the war is over. So he does. She follows him on all his journeys and through all his battles stands by him although her medical state deteriorates. She doesn't want to get a treatment in Moscow or London. Tito tells her it is impossible to see the child which they will get back after the war. She goes to Moscow for treatment but there instead of getting the treatment she gives speeches. Upon liberation Tito in Belgrade moves to the White Mansion. He sends her to the Golnik Sanatorium. Her condition deteriorates. She dies on May 1, 1948. At her funeral he says: "You were my greatest love." Son Slavisa Paunovic, 1942, Foca, Serbian;

Jovanka Broz

After Davorjanka's death Tito is very introversive. He even says that he doesn't love any woman anymore. He talks to Ivan Krajaèiæ-Stevo, almost a family member. Stevo sent Jovanka to Tito and asks him if he liked her. Tito replies that she is wild and asks for another woman. But Stevo replies he doesn't need a young woman. He suggests Zinka Kunc, a renowned Yugoslav opera singer. Zinka is surprised when Stevo contacts her. "How does Tito imagine this relationship? We do know each other, but never were close... I need time to think." Stevo gives her one day and his business card. She writes a letter to Tito and suggests that they should first become fond of each other and that after marriage Tito must promise to give her total freedom in her professional career - singing in the world's leading opera houses and concert halls. Tito wants to talk to her in person as soon as possible so she pays him a visit. They have dinner and the next morning they have a walk in the garden. Tito promises not to hinder her career but doesn't want her to continue living in Zagreb. She accepts his proposal to move to Belgrade and Tito is very pleased. She moves and they live together. She hates everyone kissing up to Tito and the numerous personnel (21 people taking care only of his appearance, 16 of his food). After some time she also has to announce herself when wanting to see her beloved. When he wants to make love to her he sends her a message through his personal aide (army officer). Tito once writes: "Tell her, I would like to sleep with her tonight." She replies: " I can't. I have my period." "Ask when she will be able to do it." "When my period is over." She complains about this communication system and he replies she should adapt to this way of life and not criticize it. He points out that Haile Selassie is being served by 5.000 people. She travels a lot and gives concerts (in the Met etc.) and their relationship slowly fades away. He asks her to call him and to meet secretly in a Paris villa he would buy for her, but she refuses. His last words to her are: "No woman is so charming and blessed as you." Then he realizes he doesn't a very smart, authoritative and popular wife but a woman, that would obey and take care of him. Jovanka has been stationed at the White palace since 1945 and is very pretty. She is also very disciplined, full of energy and the youngest female army officer. After his breakup with Zinka he once meets her and takes her riding and later to see a film in his private projection room. After the movie he makes a move but they don't end up in bed. Later they meet several times and have sex. He has a bilious attack and after surgery he decides to marry her. He sends her to learn the basics of diplomatic protocol at the Roman Yugoslav Embassy. They marry in April 1959, best men are Aleksandar Rankovic (Minister of the Interior Affairs) and Ivan Gosnjak. She takes care of the personnel and the house affairs with all of her energy. She knows Tito likes three things above all: 1) luxury 2) authority and 3) continuous upgrading of his ingenious statesmanship He enjoys riding horses, hunting, walking, resting, cooking, growing tangerines... He comes up with the idea of the non-aligned movement. She is the first one to learn about it. She takes care of all 40 Tito's residencies throughout the country. Continuously she is upgrading and refurnishing these palaces. She takes special care of the Blue Train, Tito's private/official train composition, equipped like in the James Bond movies. She takes care of the Galeb ship and he works on his public image and presence in the media. He enjoys spectacular delights such as the hand-over ceremony of the youth relay. Branko Mikulic suggests to elect Tito as president for life in 1971 and such a constitutional amendment is accepted. Cities wear his name, stamps shine with his image as well as golden coins bear his face... He travels a lot to the non-aligned countries and Jovanka is in charge of his "missions of peace". She takes care of their sojourn, food, swimming, security, presents for hosts... They have a special counselor for presents, Sreten Djokic. Slowly the national economy goes down the drain and Tito feels helpless. The power is handed over to his aides and closest friends. They want to isolate Jovanka from Tito because they fear she could make Tito once again take control of the state affairs - so she is dangerous. Stane Dolanc and Branko Mikulic tell Tito that Jovanka and General Djoko Jovanic are preparing a coup d'état... She is being locked in a house arrest and the General is forced to retire. Jovanka is in shock and wants to get in contact with him but all the time they take care of making up new and new stories... They arrange for Tito to meet opera singer Gertruda Munitic and they meet many times out of Belgrade. Tito grows very fond of her and tries to keep the relationship very secret but Stane Dolanc tells the story to a western journalist who publishes it and so Jovanka finds about it as well. Tito's health slowly deteriorates - he wants to take care of Jovanka before he dies. He tells Stane Dolanc and Stevan Doronjski that after his death Jovanka is entitled to all the rights and benefits of a president's wife. After he dies the reaction is quick. Jovanka is again put into house arrest and all her rights of a president's wife are revoked, all her valuable belongings including precious presidential gifts taken away from her. She lives in Belgrade.
