Stevan Radivojević Opens Up About Childhood Losses and His Relationships With Stars

Celebrity hairstylist Stevan Radivojević has shared a personal account of the losses that shaped his life, his determined start in the beauty business and the friendships he has built in show business. In an interview with SCANDAL!, he also discussed his ties to Ceca Ražnatović, Anastasija Ražnatović and other familiar names. Radivojević said he was six when his mother died. He does not remember her voice, but still recalls the moment his aunt told him she was gone. He described the experience as a lifelong trauma. His father died when Radivojević was finishing high school, and he credited his aunt, grandmother and grandfather with giving him support. He affectionately calls his aunt his “eternal queen” and said she now runs his company. He left Kruševac for Budva at 16 to pursue hairdressing, facing repeated moves and months without pay. At 18, he moved to Belgrade determined to make a career for himself. He identified styling Marta Savić as an early breakthrough, followed by work with well-known clients and a win on the reality show Parovi. Radivojević pushed back on the suggestion that Ceca alone was responsible for his success, saying he had established a name before they worked together. He said she later offered advice and support. He also explained that Anabela, Jelena Kostov and Mija did not give him money for an apartment, but recommended him to people willing to trust him. He recalled receiving envelopes from the Karić family and Ceca during difficult periods. He said he no longer speaks with Anabela or Luna, while describing his friendship with Anastasija and commenting on her life in Spain and motherhood. He also touched on Ceca’s forthcoming album, saying ideas for its creative direction exist but the songs must be completed first. Other topics included his work with performers such as Jelena Karleuša, Seka Aleksić and Ana Nikolić. The hairstylist also recalled a dispute with someone he says falsely accused him of owing money. He reported the matter to police and said he now relies on written contracts for business arrangements. He considers his career and creative projects among the dreams he has achieved, and said he is nearing completion of a roughly 300-square-metre house. Still, he stressed that family and friends, rather than luxury, are what bring him the greatest happiness.
