Tadej Pogačar, the Slovenian cycling sensation and two-time Tour de France winner, has recently addressed the public regarding his relationship with long-time girlfriend Urška Žigart. Following widespread media speculation surrounding their private lives, Pogačar issued an official statement through his social media accounts to clarify and confirm the status of their relationship.
Pogačar and Žigart, both prominent figures in Slovenian sports, have maintained a relatively low profile when it comes to their personal lives. However, in recent weeks, rumors and media reports about their relationship dynamics gained significant attention, prompting Pogačar to respond directly to the public.
In his statement, the 25-year-old cyclist expressed his gratitude for the support he and Žigart have received from fans over the years. He emphasized the importance of respect for their privacy, explaining that both he and Žigart are focused on their respective careers and personal well-being. Pogačar clarified that despite the growing media interest, they are in a stable and loving relationship, and he values the privacy they have been able to maintain.
Urška Žigart, a professional cyclist herself, has been a constant presence in Pogačar’s life, both as a partner and as a fellow athlete. The couple has been together for several years and has been seen supporting each other during important milestones in their careers. Pogačar’s decision to publicly address the rumors was seen as a move to quell any further speculation while reiterating their desire to keep their personal lives outside of the public eye.
“Urška and I are very happy together, and we appreciate all the love and support from our fans. We would like to continue focusing on our careers and, most importantly, on each other. We kindly ask everyone to respect our privacy as we move forward,” Pogačar wrote.
This statement comes at a time when Pogačar is preparing for the next season of professional cycling, following a highly successful year in 2023, while Žigart continues her rise within the world of competitive cycling.
As for now, both athletes are expected to focus on their training and future goals, with no further public comments anticipated on their personal lives.
