  Slavica Ecclestone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slavica Ecclestone is a former model and is the wife of Formula 1 racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone.
She was born Slavica Radic in 1958 in village Maglajan near Banja Luka in Republika Srpska (part of Bosnia) by Serbian parents and worked as an international fashion model, modelling for a number of leading clients, including designer Armani.
Bernie pursued Slavica doggedly, undaunted by the 28 year age difference between the two, by the language barrier (she spoke Serbian and Italian, he only spoke English), and by the difference in their heights (at 6 feet 2 inches, 1.88m, Slavica was nearly a foot taller than her suitor).

 Alex Wade: Private lives
Ms Ecclestone had turned 18 and left school when The Mail on Sunday published an article headlined "Bernie the Battered Husband." The article was based on an interview with John Keterman, a former boyfriend of Ecclestone's daughter, and it spared few paternal blushes in revealing intimate details of Tamara Ecclestone's relationship, when 17, with Keterman.
Whatever the world thinks of Bernie Ecclestone, who is a stranger neither to controversy nor, indeed, the ruthless ways of commerce, it is not difficult to empathise with his discontent at seeing the demise of his teenage daughter's relationship catalogued in lurid, kiss'n'tell detail.
Ecclestone will have regretted the anodyne coffee-table interview he had allowed his daughter to give previously, in which she answered questions on what it was like to be the daughter of a famous father, as if this somehow justified the Keterman revelations.
