Edin Džeko's Wife Amra Silajdžić: Career, Family, Marriage

Amra Silajdžić is the wife of Bosnian striker Edin Džeko, who plays for Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga in the 2026/27 season. She is a Bosnian model and actress, born in Sarajevo, and the couple have been together since 2011. Together they have four children, and Amra also has a daughter from an earlier marriage.

Amra is known in Bosnia and beyond for winning a French modelling contest in 2000, for appearing in music videos for artists such as Enrique Iglesias and Blake Shelton, and for small roles in American television. In this article, OhMyFootball goes through what can actually be checked about her, with sources, and leaves out the net-worth numbers and personality guesses that copy-and-paste profiles repeat. It is up to date as of November 2026.

Who is Edin Džeko's wife?

Edin Džeko is married to Amra Silajdžić, who is also known as Amra Džeko and uses the Instagram handle @amradzeko. English Wikipedia says the two have been in a relationship since 2011. Croatian outlet Index.hr, writing in July 2026, says they married secretly in 2016, and English Wikipedia's article on Amra gives January 2016 in Rome. The couple have never published a wedding date or details that we could find.

The year is not settled everywhere: the Bosnian site Ekskluziva.ba reported a wedding in April 2014, IMDb lists 2014, and English Wikipedia's article on Džeko itself says 2014, which contradicts its article on Amra, so we do not give a single date as fact. What every source agrees on is that they are married and that the family lived in Rome while Edin played for Roma; English Wikipedia says their son was born there in 2017.

In June 2026, ahead of the World Cup, Amra posted a message on Facebook for her husband, who was to captain Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the Croatian site tportal. She wrote that there is no greater honour than representing your country and that the family would be, as always, his loudest supporters.

Who is Amra Silajdžić?

According to English Wikipedia, Amra Silajdžić was born in Sarajevo, then part of Yugoslavia, and she is Bosnian. Wikipedia describes her as a Bosnian model and actress. Her family background is mostly private. She has posted a photo with her sister on Instagram, but we found no interview in which she names or discusses her parents.

Amra Silajdžić career: modelling

Amra's modelling career started early. According to English Wikipedia, in 2000 she won the French contest Metropolitan Top Model and was signed by the agency Elite Model in Paris. She then appeared in commercials for the clothing brand Anchor Blue and was the face of Robin Jeans.

Amra Silajdžić career: music videos and acting

Wikipedia lists music videos for Taio Cruz ("Dynamite"), Enrique Iglesias ("No Me Digas Que No"), The Cataracs ("Top of the World"), Blake Shelton ("Honey Bee") and Chromeo ("Jealous (I Ain't with It)" and "Old 45's"). The Enrique Iglesias video, featuring Wisin and Yandel, is on his official channel:

On screen, her credits are small parts rather than leading roles. English Wikipedia lists her in:

CSI: NY (2010)
Entourage (2011)
Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 (2012)
Silicon Valley (2015)
the film Gothic Assassins, her first starring role, which premiered in October 2011
the Bosnian films Ja sam iz Krajine, zemlje kestena (2013) and Devet položaja samoće (2014)

Some older profiles, including an earlier version of this article, say she was the face model for the Resident Evil games. We could not confirm that from a reliable source, so we have removed it. Amra has also posted about working in Los Angeles; one of her own posts looks back at that time with a friend:

Amra Silajdžić age and birthday

Amra has not published her date of birth, and we found no reliable source for it: the date that circulates online goes back to an English Wikipedia entry that cites no source, so we do not give it.

Amra Silajdžić net worth

You will see figures such as "over $1 million" on many websites. None of them cites a source, and neither Amra nor Edin Džeko has published their finances, so we do not repeat a number. The same goes for Edin Džeko's net worth: no reliable figure is public.

Amra Silajdžić and Vladimir Vićentijević

Many readers search for Amra's first husband, so here is what is on record. According to English Wikipedia, which cites a January 2011 interview in the Croatian magazine Gloria, she married the Serbian businessman Vladimir Vićentijević in 2001 and the marriage ended in 2007. The marriage produced a daughter. We do not name her or give more detail about her, since she is a private person.

Amra Silajdžić and Edin Džeko's children

According to Index.hr, Amra and Edin have four children together: Una (born in 2016), Dani (born in 2017), Dalija (born in 2020) and Hana (born in 2023). The parents announced the births themselves on social media, including Hana's in January 2023 on both their Instagram accounts (N1), and we add nothing more. We do not embed pictures of the children here.

Amra Džeko's Instagram account is @amradzeko. The posts we checked mix travel, family and work. Her posts include a trip to Venice, which she captioned as a birthday getaway with her love, and a trip to Dubai:
