Great news for Jelena!!!!! She deserves to have this kind of off court success because she’s just got the best personality and is hot to the core…though a lot of people would disagree with her hotness, but whatever 😛
Yes, it’s great news! About her hotness, I don’t know, she has great body, but whatever as you said. 😛
Good for Jelena!
