In 2000 she obtained a master's degree in international relations from the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Zagreb. Grabar-Kitarović has been married to Jakov Kitarović since 1996 and they have two children.
Grabar-Kitarović was a member of the conservative Croatian Democratic Union party from 1993 to 2015 and was also one of three Croatian members of the Trilateral Commission , but she was required to resign both positions upon taking office as president in 2015, as Croatian Presidents are not permitted to hold other political positions or party membership while in office. In 2017, Forbes magazine listed Grabar-Kitarović as the world's 39th most powerful woman.
Upon election, Grabar-Kitarović became the first woman in Europe to defeat an incumbent president running for reelection, as well as the second woman in the world to do so, after Violetta Chamorro of Nicaragua in 1990. She is also the first candidate of any gender to defeat an incumbent Croatian president.
While against same-sex marriage , Grabar-Kitarović expressed her support for the Life Partnership Act , which enabled same-sex couples to enjoy rights equal to heterosexual married couples, praising it as good compromise. She also included sexual orientation in her inaugural speech, and said she would support her son if he was gay.
She speaks Croatian, English , and Portuguese fluently and has basic understanding of German , French and Italian . Additionally, Kitarović has often been mistaken with adult actress Diamond Foxxx and US model Coco Austin.
Croatia’s president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic has won the internet during the World Cup thanks to her support of the Croatian national team. Grabar-Kitarovic made history in 2015 by becoming the first woman to be elected as Croatia’s president. At 50 years old, she is also the youngest president in the history of the country. Grabar-Kitarovic has been all over Russia cheering on Croatia during their historic World Cup run.
