Martin Filipovski celebrated 40th birthday with wife, daughter and mother

Martin Filipovski of the pop duo Next Time shared intimate family photos after celebrating a milestone birthday with his twin brother, Stefan. The pair recently turned 40 and received congratulations from fans, colleagues and friends across social media.

Among those who sent greetings was singer Elena Risteska, who "wished him health, happiness and many more successes." Martin used the moment to post images from a home celebration showing him alongside his wife, former handball player Andrea Beleska, their young daughter Liana and his mother Suzana.

Family images and a concert reminder

The photos show a warm, domestic setting with a birthday cake on the table and the family raising a toast. Under one of the pictures Martin wrote in his recognizable, playful tone: "40 years!!! The best birthday gift is to buy tickets for the concert. Thanks in advance" — a direct nudge to supporters.

That message also served as a reminder that Martin will headline a solo concert with Next Time on November 27, 2026, at Boris Trajkovski Hall in Skopje. The announcement is already positioned as one of the season's major pop events in the capital.

The brothers have often spoken about their close bond with their mother Suzana. Years ago they released an album of folk arrangements titled "Majka," which they dedicated to two mothers: their mother Suzana and their homeland.
