Lila Filipovska: her sister Marina lives in Sweden

Television host Lila Filipovska keeps her private life mostly out of the spotlight, but fans who follow her closely know she has a sister: Marina, who lives with her family in Sweden.

Filipovska was born in Gothenburg and lived there until she was 12 years old; those early years in Sweden are still part of her personal story and the reason she remains close with relatives abroad.

Marina rarely appears in media, but Lila visits her from time to time and shares photos and memories from those trips. On one occasion she even opened up about the apartment where they grew up and posted an image of the yard they used to play in, which she described as “The courtyard of a carefree childhood.”

From nursing to television stardom

Filipovska celebrated her 55th birthday; she was born in Gothenburg on 15 October 1971. Her professional path did not begin in front of cameras — she first worked as a medical nurse-caregiver before finding her calling in broadcasting and taking her initial steps as a presenter at MTV (Macedonian Television).

She also tried her hand at music: she recorded duets with Aleksandar Blazhevski ("Samo ljubovta") and Krumislav Mishko Barzov ("Zemjotres") and released solo tracks including "Ti veruvav do kraj", "Sonuvam" and "Kam, bejbi kam". After her divorce from then-husband Orce Dimitrovski and a joint festival appearance at the Ohridski Trubaduri event, she stepped away from music to concentrate on television.

Her popularity surged with the cult quiz "Enigma", followed by a string of entertainment shows and talk programmes. For the past decade she has been the face of the popular quiz "Sè ili nešto" on Sitel TV. In 2021 she returned briefly to music with the duet "Teško mene so tebe" alongside Filip Peshevski, and she has appeared in several advertising spots, including campaigns with fitness model Stefan Spirkovski.
