In a heartwarming surprise for cycling fans around the world, Slovenian cycling star Tadej Pogaฤar has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend and fellow professional cyclist Urลกka ลฝigart. The couple exchanged vows during a private ceremony in Monaco, surrounded by a small circle of family and close friends.
Known for being one of the most dominant riders of his generation, Pogaฤar has often kept his personal life out of the spotlight. However, his relationship with ลฝigart has been no secret to those who follow the sport. The two cyclists, who first met while racing for Slovenian teams in their early careers, have been together for several years, sharing both a deep personal bond and a mutual passion for cycling.
According to sources close to the couple, the wedding took place quietly over the weekend. The intimate event reflected the coupleโs preference for privacy, with minimal media attention and a focus on celebrating their love rather than their fame. The ceremony reportedly featured simple yet elegant touches โ a view of the Mediterranean coast, tasteful floral arrangements, and a relaxed atmosphere fitting for two people known for their down-to-earth personalities.
Pogaฤar, 27, has achieved remarkable success in his young career, including two Tour de France victories (2020 and 2021) and multiple wins in prestigious one-day races. Despite his fame, he has often emphasized the importance of balance in life and the grounding role that his partner Urลกka plays. In interviews, he has spoken fondly of her support, describing her as โthe calm behind the chaosโ of professional cycling.
Urลกka ลฝigart, 28, is also a professional cyclist, currently riding for the womenโs WorldTour team Liv AlUla Jayco. She has represented Slovenia in numerous international competitions, including the Olympic Games, and is admired for her resilience and determination. The two athletes share not only a home in Monaco but also a mutual understanding of the challenges and joys of life on the road.
Fans of the couple have taken to social media to express their joy and congratulations. Messages poured in from around the cycling community, with teammates, rivals, and supporters praising their relationship as one built on respect, shared dreams, and genuine affection.
While details of the ceremony remain private, it is understood that the couple plan to hold a larger celebration in Slovenia at a later date, giving friends and family back home a chance to join in their happiness.
As the new cycling season approaches, both Pogaฤar and ลฝigart will soon return to training, but for now, they are said to be enjoying a brief honeymoon break before resuming their busy schedules.
Their story is one of two athletes who rose to prominence together, supported each other through victories and challenges, and now begin a new chapter side by side โ not just as partners in sport, but as husband and wife.
