A Family’s Love: How Tadej Pogačar’s Girlfriend Made His Birthday Truly Special
While cycling fans from Rwanda to Denmark and Slovenia celebrated Tadej Pogačar’s birthday with banners, songs, and public tributes, the most meaningful celebration unfolded away from the cameras. At the heart of it was his girlfriend, fellow professional cyclist Urška Žigart, who ensured the day reflected not only his sporting greatness but also the warmth of family and love.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Žigart planned a private gathering, inviting only a small circle of family and closest friends. Unlike the grandeur of public tributes, the evening focused on simplicity—homemade dishes, laughter, and a birthday cake decorated with images of Pogačar’s greatest cycling victories. “It wasn’t about fame or medals, it was about Tadej the person, not the champion,” one family member shared.
Throughout the day, Žigart is said to have filled their home with little surprises: heartfelt notes, childhood photos, and gifts symbolizing their journey together. In a touching gesture, she reportedly created a scrapbook capturing not his Tour de France triumphs, but personal moments—quiet training rides, family dinners, and shared holidays.
The birthday also became a chance for Pogačar to reconnect with those who shaped him beyond the world stage. His parents and siblings joined in, recalling stories of a young boy who once skipped school just to ride with friends. Their laughter filled the room, reminding him that, despite his global stardom, he remains deeply rooted in family.
While the cycling community across continents honored its hero, it was Žigart’s quiet devotion that made the day unforgettable. For Pogačar, the real victory wasn’t the applause of thousands but the love of the few who know him best.
