Michael WeatherlySince 1992, has been a TV favorite. He was first seen as Special Agent Tony DiNozzo on CBS crime drama. NCIS, then Dr. Jason Bull on Bull. Both those characters were smooth-talking leading men, so it comes as no surprise to learn that the 53-year-old actor courted his current wife, Bojana Janković, in an incredibly charming and romantic way. Here’s the inside scoop on Michael Weatherly’s wife and the super sweet way he courted her.
Michael Weatherly has been married twice
Long before meeting Bojana Janković in 2007, Weatherly was married to fellow actress Amelia Heinle. They were married for two consecutive years from 1995 to 1997 at a time when both of them were in their twenties. struggling to break into the businessTheir careers and launch them. “I was 27 and could barely take care of myself, but I had to feed people and put a roof over their heads,” Weatherly admitted in a 2017 interview with People magazine.
The pressure on the marriage was too much. After two years, the couple decided to end their marriage. Weatherly describes that period as a “very difficult time” and said it was especially hard on his young son. “It’s a tough thing for a kid,” he told People. “Especially when one of your parents is on the other side of the country.”
How Michael and Bojana Met
Bojana Janković met Weatherly at a bar in Vancouver, she had no idea who he was a famous actor. But she was still curious about him. “We made eye contact,” she told People. “And that was it.” The problem was, she was a very busy medical school student at the time (today, she’s an award-winning, double board-certified physician in internal and integrative medicine) and was about to take a trip to Europe with some girlfriends. Weatherly asked her to go out for dinner with him the next night. She refused.
However, NCIS Star was totally in love and determined to set up a date with Bojana. So what did he do next? He flew all the ways to Paris to take her to dinner while she was in Europe. Weatherly was very touched by the gesture and it was a great way to show his actor skills. “My secret weapon was that in France our show [NCIS]It is a huge hit. Everywhere we went people were like, ‘Monsieur Dinozzo!’ Making a big fuss.”
They’ve Been Married Since 2009
Six months after their Parisian first meeting, Weatherly and Janković were engaged. After a long-distance relationship, Jankovic and Jankovic were engaged a year later in 2009. The happy couple now have two children together—a daughter named Olivia and a son named Liam.
Weatherly states that he feels extremely fortunate to have been given a second chance at true love. He now says that his family is the most important to him. “When I got remarried, I wanted to do my very best to ensure that rupture wouldn’t happen again,” he told People magazine. My kids and my marriage are the things I’m proudest of.”
Nevertheless, Bull star admits that it is difficult juggling a full-time acting careerWith family life—especially when he has to travel and be away for extended periods of time. “As a lot of working parents know, when you’re not around a lot and then you’re with your kids, it’s very hard to just come in and be the strict one because then you’re just an assh*le,” he said in another interview with People. “But you don’t want to be too soft.”
Weatherly says he compensates for the times he has to travel by focusing on family 100% when he’s not working. “I don’t bring my work home,” he told People magazine. “I’m a single-track-mind person, so at work I do my work, but at home I’m devoted to my kids. Acting has helped me to understand myself. It’s made me a better person.”
Weatherly also said that he and Janković work really hard to make sure plenty of family time is scheduled. “We are big planners,” he told Good Housekeeping. “We sit down for weekly assessments to map out vacations, etc., and keep things smooth.”
It sounds like this is a fun family to be part of!
