As Manchester United step up their efforts to sign Benjamin Šeško this summer, all eyes are not only on the 21-year-old striker’s next move, but also on the people close to him. And one of the most important is his girlfriend, Anita Vidović.
If the transfer goes ahead, his girlfriend Anita Vidović, who is 5 years older, is expected to join him in England, deepening the spotlight on their relationship too.
Anita is a 27-year-old Slovenian who comes from the capital, Ljubljana. She studied at the Faculty of Public Administration and has stayed largely out of the spotlight, maintaining a relatively low public profile despite dating one of the most talked-about young strikers in Europe.
The couple reportedly started dating in 2022, around the time Šeško’s rise began to draw international attention. Since then, they’ve appeared together on social media a few times, showing their strong bond through heartfelt posts and travel snaps.
One post on Anita’s private Instagram reportedly featured the caption, “It was always you”—a glimpse into the closeness of their relationship.
Anita’s older brother, Boris Vidović, was also a professional footballer. He spent most of his playing career in Germany and Poland before retiring in 2024. After stepping away from the game, Boris made headlines of his own when he appeared on Love Island UK as a Casa Amor contestant, adding a bit of reality TV fame to the family.
So while Anita stays under the radar, she clearly understands the demands of a footballer’s lifestyle, growing up around the game and now supporting a player who could soon become a Premier League star.
While she isn’t regularly seen at games or in the tabloids, Anita is known to attend important matches and has been spotted in Šeško jerseys. Those close to the couple describe her as someone who offers calm support behind the scenes, crucial for a young player navigating the pressure of big career decisions.
During Šeško’s time in Salzburg and now Leipzig, she has remained by his side, quietly accompanying him through the challenges of a top-level football career.
