Nikola Jokic’s wife Natalija was front and center for the Denver Nuggets’ incredible march to the NBA Finals this past season.
Although her husband didn’t win a third straight league MVP award, Natalija did witness him officially cement himself as arguably the best player in the NBA today.
The Nuggets’ sheer domination in their Western Conference Finals match-up against LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers was telling.
With a few days between that round ending and the NBA Finals commencing, fans began digging more into the Jokic family. As a result, a number of Natalija’s wild photos have gone viral in recent days.

Does Natalija’s popularity rise to the level of someone like Luka Doncic’s girlfriend? Obviously not. There is a reason why the latter’s provocative photos set the internet ablaze this week. But she also isn’t too far behind in terms of recognition either.
This isn’t the first time in recent weeks that members of the Jokic family have found themselves trending. Nikola’s brothers also landed in the headlines a few weeks ago over their actions towards beloved Lakers fan, 86-year-old Jack Nicholson.

As for Nikola, it will be interesting to see how he ultimately fares in his first ever NBA Finals. Against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals he averaged 29.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game.
Will he be able to do the same against the Eastern Conference’s chosen representative? Time will tell.
Either way, Natalija will undoubtedly be there cheering Nikola and the rest of the Nuggets on every step of the way.
