Personal life

Bajrami met her first husband, Zoran Vučković from Sarajevo, in March 2003 in the Croatian city of Makarska, where they married six months later. They divorced in February 2004.

Selma met her second husband, a Bosnian man named Mujo Musić in July 2011, during a performance of hers at the Modrac Lake by Lukavac. They were wed on 22 December 2011 in front of 100 guests at the hotel Tuzla in the same city, having been engaged a month. Bajrami moved with her second husband to his home in Vienna, Austria. The couple filed for divorce in October 2014.

Bajrami was about two months pregnant on her wedding day and although she had a birth due date of 4 July 2012, her 32nd birthday, she gave birth via caesarean section to a baby boy named Daris seven days later than expected on 11 July 2012 in Vienna.

Bajrami did not celebrate her son's first birthday in 2013 as he was born on the anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. She has stated that she will never celebrate his birthday on that date out of respect for the victims.

Earlier, Bajrami denied news in September 2008 that she had been attacked by a schizophrenic man with a chainsaw in a nightclub near Srebrenik.
