Longtime television host and sports presenter Jana Hospodárová and her partner Ľubo Čechovič have ended their relationship after three years together, according to statements published by Diva.sk and shared on social media. The split occurred in May, though the couple publicly announced the decision in early July via a joint statement.
A Relationship Rooted in Television and Dance
The couple initially met during the production of the fifth series of the popular dance competition Let’s Dance, where Hospodárová participated as a contestant and ultimately won the series, according to TV Markíza and Diva.sk. At the time of their first meeting, Čechovič worked as a television cutter and was in a relationship, while Hospodárová also later found love elsewhere. Their paths crossed again in 2021 when both were single, leading them to begin a romantic relationship that lasted for three years.
Hospodárová is well-known to viewers as a primary anchor of Športové noviny on Markíza. Beyond her regular broadcasting career, she returned to the dance floor for a special eleventh series of the dance show subtitled Gladiátori – Najlepší z najlepších. Although she was eliminated in the first round, her participation showcased her continued grace alongside professional partners Matej Chren and Fabio Bellucci, as well as occasional informal dances with Čechovič away from television cameras.

The Announcement and Public Response
Recent months had seen public speculation regarding a potential wedding that might coincide with the partners celebrating their 50th birthdays, as reported by Diva.sk. However, the couple addressed those rumors directly in their July joint statement, explaining that it had become difficult to give vague answers about a relationship that had concluded definitively in May. “We thank each other for the shared years, wish each other a lot of happiness, and believe that insurmountable differences will never afflict either of us in life again,” the statement read.
Following the public announcement, Hospodárová shared a video message on her Instagram account emphasizing individual autonomy and self-respect in relationships. The text in the shared video advised followers not to accept a half-hearted commitment or compromise on personal priorities. While the presenter did not explicitly state whether the message reflected her personal experience, the publication noted that she has spoken openly about feeling content as a single woman and rejecting societal expectations that pressure women to conform strictly to traditional roles as wives and mothers.
