Luca Vildoza, the 29-year-old Argentine basketball star currently playing for Italy’s Virtus and a former player of Serbia’s Crvena zvezda, has shocked fans by converting to Orthodoxy! Why? Because of his longtime partner, Serbian volleyball player Milica Tasić (25). Their relationship has lasted two years, starting when Vildoza played for Crvena zvezda. This summer, their wedding is expected in Belgrade, and Vildoza decided to renounce Catholicism and embrace Orthodoxy to marry according to the Orthodox rite.
Vildoza left a deep mark in Serbia – with Crvena zvezda, he won the double Serbian crown and the regional league, and played brilliantly in the EuroLeague. Then he moved to Panathinaikos, winning the Greek European title, followed by Olympiacos, where he won another Greek title. This summer, he transferred to Bologna.
Milica Tasić grew up in Crvena zvezda, and played in America, Romania, Turkey, and Greece. Their relationship and shared sports journey clearly influenced Vildoza’s decision to change his faith, a rare move in the sports world that sparked a storm of comments.
Is this love that changes everything or just a marketing stunt? Either way, Luca Vildoza proved he is ready for big changes for his chosen one. What do you think about this move? Is faith a personal choice or social pressure? Drop your thoughts, let the people’s voice be heard!
