In 1985, eighteen-year-old Jugoplastika junior squad player Rađa began dating nineteen-year-old from Solin, a basketball player in the club's women's team. The couple got married during late summer 1990 at Vatrogasni dom in Kaštel Sućurac right before Rađa's move to Rome to play for Virtus. Their son Duje was born in 1997.
