First, my husband visited me alone, then he started coming with my friend. Over time, he stopped coming. So did my friend. It turned out that they were having an affair and she became pregnant with him,” she revealed in the book “The Stars Were Shining.” formerly”.
For the second time, Drojecka married the singer Jean Tatlian, who was 9 years her junior, but he left her to pursue a career abroad. The artist managed to find happiness with another partner, but considering her previous experiences, she did not decide to get married this time.
Drojecka painfully experienced the death of her only daughter, who died of cancer at the age of 35. After her departure, the singer resigned from performing in front of the public. A few years ago, the singer moved into a nursing home, where she still lives today.
