90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Vanja took the chance of a lifetime by traveling to Croatia to meet her online boyfriend, Bozo, for the first time. Fans are eager to know if the couple is still together after the overseas trip.
How Did ‘90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days’ Stars Vanja and Bozo Meet?
Vanja is a 41-year-old from Orlando, Florida, who works multiple jobs that include belly dancing, a fire swallower, make-up artist, vegan baker and a medical sales representative. She met Bozo, a 38-year-old professional basketball player, on a dating app during a solo trip to Bosnia and Croatia the year before. The pair had been talking ever since as they were not able to meet in person during her initial trip.
“I’m super confident in every aspect of my life,” she told producers during her debut on the October 13, 2024, episode. “But when it comes to relationships, it’s been a s–t show. Now I’m going to Croatia to meet Bozo but I’m worried because of what happened in the past.”
Vanja had been engaged 11 years ago, but the relationship abruptly ended when she discovered that her fiancé had been living a double life. Additionally, her relationship with Bozo hit a rough patch just a few months in when he broke up with her to start dating someone who lived closer to him.
After they eventually reconciled, the belly dancer arranged a trip to Croatia to meet him in person for the first time.
Vanja Grew Restless When Bozo Ghosted Her Before Her Flight
Vanja booked a hotel in Croatia for her visit with Bozo, since he lived with his mother and aunt. The trip was a momentous step for her, as she hadn’t been intimate with anyone in six years.
Before embarking on her 17-hour flight, Vanja decided to give Bozo a quick call to say “hi” before boarding.
“I keep calling him and he’s not picking up,” the Florida native told producers. “Now, I know it’s a six-hour time difference but I just haven’t heard from him this whole day today, it actually makes me feel a little scared.”
As he failed to answer her repeated calls, Vanja grew increasingly nervous, and a deep sense of unease settled over her. “I have a bad feeling about the fact that I’ve been reaching out all day and he’s not picking up or answering my texts, because of what happened in the past,” she explained, hinting at their prior situation. “I would call and he wouldn’t pick up the phone. Then all of a sudden, it came out that he was seeing someone else.”
The anxiety of traveling overseas, coupled with his silence, sent her mind racing at “200 miles per hour,” as she fought to keep herself from overthinking.
“Hopefully when I get there, Bozo will be at the airport waiting for me,” she worriedly told the cameras.
Vanja and Bozo’s Relationship Never Left the Friendzone
Although Vanja and Bozo shared a warm welcome at the airport, they hit bumps on their first night in Croatia together. During a cooking class, Bozo referred to Vanja as “just a friend,” admitting he had no romantic feelings for her but expressed hope that he might fall in love with her someday.
Vanja was disappointed to hear this after traveling thousands of miles but later met up with Bozo and his friends for drinks. Vanja felt Bozo wasn’t being completely honest and asked his friends if his ex-girlfriend was still in the picture.
After his friends confirmed that his ex had moved on, Bozo described Vanja as “too rushy,” which infuriated her and led to her storming off.
Vanja refused to talk to Bozo until the next day when she confronted him about why he claimed to love her if he didn’t truly feel that way. Bozo initially denied ever telling her that, but Vanja pulled out the text message receipt.
Bozo initially denied ever telling her that, but Vanja pulled out the text message receipt. “That is so me,” he laughed while looking at the message.
Bozo admitted that while he initially intended to date Vanja, he felt there was no chemistry between them in person. After Vanja appeared to end the relationship, Bozo suggested staying friends, but she made it clear she wasn’t interested.
Vanja Met Josko After Her Heartbreak With Bozo
After ending her relationship with Bozo, Vanja still had time in Croatia and decided to hop on a dating app.
“I only have a week left in my trip so I do not want to miss my chance to meet Josko, he is hot,” she said in a private confessional. “Looking at him, I’m just thinking like, ‘Bozo who?’”
After a successful first date on the beach, the pair reunited for their second meeting at a romantic rooftop bar. Vanja said she had been “walking on air” since their first date and had hopes of inviting him to spend the night.
“Six years could be the end of that cobweb situation,” the belly dancer told producers — referring to her long bout of celibacy.
Vanja invited Josko to spend the night at her apartment, but the Florida native later confirmed to the cameras that they did not have sex. She explained that she was worried about “getting in too deep” and was “holding back” to protect herself from getting hurt again.
Later that night, Vanja and Josko had an honest conversation, as they had yet to discuss what would happen when she left.
“I want to see where this goes with you. So then, what is it that we’re doing?” Vanja asked. “What, are you my boyfriend?”
Josko confirmed he was her boyfriend and said the next step was for him to “come to Orlando for a few days.” However, he admitted moving to the United States would be tricky as he could not “move because of legal terms” surrounding the 1-year-old child he was fostering.
