Anxhela & Elidoni

Elidoni (37) from Vlora and Anxhela (33) from Lushnja met through dua.com — at a time when they were living in different countries: he in France, she in Albania.

Both were searching for something real, serious, and the magic of love. For Elidoni in particular, it was especially important to connect with someone who shared his nationality, language, and cultural traditions. A need that only dua.com could truly meet.

And here they are today: happy, and expecting their first child — their little sunshine –  Dielli.

Meet Elidon and Anxhela

Elidoni (37) is originally from Vlora but has lived and worked in France for about 15 years. There, he built a life and career, yet he was missing the other half of his heart — the woman with whom he would start a family.

Anxhela (33), from Lushnja, is a professional psychologist who has established her career and life in Albania. She, too, was searching for the person who would complete her and bring her happiness.

When you’re looking for true love, sometimes it takes just one click to change your life. That’s exactly what happened with Elidoni and Anxhela, who met through the dua.com app in the summer of 2024. Today, less than a year later, they are engaged and expecting their first child.

A clear goal: Elidoni was looking for an Albanian woman

After a difficult experience in a relationship with a foreign woman, Elidoni knew exactly what he wanted: an Albanian woman with whom he could build a future.

“Having lived in France for many years, I’ve had relationships with people of different nationalities. But the understanding, comfort, and love I found with Anxhela, my Albanian, are incomparable,” he says, adding, “No one understands you like your own person — someone who speaks your language, understands your traditions and your world.”

Their story is a perfect example that when intentions are clear and feelings sincere, anything is possible. When asked what they like most about each other, Anxhela mentions how he treats her and his romantic nature.

“I love Elidoni’s personality — calm, attentive, and romantic. No one has ever treated me better than he does,” she says.

As for Elidoni, it seems that beyond her beauty, Anxhela has won him over with her character, which balances their dynamic perfectly.

“dua.com was recommended to me by a friend — forever grateful”

Elidoni discovered dua.com thanks to a friend from Gjakova who encouraged him to try the app and find his life’s fortune, having heard many success stories from the platform.

“A friend from Gjakova recommended it to me and told me that for many years dua.com has been bringing Albanians together, wherever they are. I hadn’t heard about it before, but I decided to give it a try in the summer of 2024,” Elidoni recalls.

While browsing profiles, his eyes caught Anxhela’s photo — the woman who now shares her life with him. “I liked her photo, and I was very happy when she liked my profile too, and we matched,” he remembers.

Elidoni didn’t waste any time. Just one month after they met, in September 2024, he traveled from France to Albania to meet her in person.

“Our first meeting was full of emotions and different expectations. I got ready, felt nervous. We met, and I think we liked each other, but it was normal to have some questions and things we wanted to clarify and trust each other regarding our intentions,” Anxhela recalls.

From the start, Elidoni was very clear about his future goals. “Right from the beginning of our acquaintance, in August 2024, I told her my intentions were serious. I’m at a stage in life where I want to meet a woman I like, love, and with whom I can build a family,” he says.

For both of them, the foundation of their relationship was constant communication and honesty.

“Continuous communication helped us build more trust in each other. We were open, straightforward, and knew exactly what we wanted,” Anxhela explains.

From a first date to a new life in France

Just a few months after their first date, their lives changed completely. “We liked each other in person as well and decided to start a family. At the end of October 2024, Anxhela became pregnant. In December, we went with my family to ask for Anxhela’s hand, and we got engaged,” Elidoni shares.

On February 28, 2025, he brought Anxhela to France, where they are eagerly awaiting the birth of their son, whom they will name Diell — a name inspired by the dua.com app.

“Now we are waiting for the baby boy to be born soon, and we will name him Diell. We even received a letter from ‘Dua’ to give him this name. Thanks to the dua.com app, I found the love of my life. Never lose hope — with dua.com, every dream can come true. Thank you, dua.com!” says Elidoni.

dua.com – a bridge that unites Albanians

For Elidoni and Anxhela, dua.com was more than just a dating app — it was a bridge that led them to their life’s destiny.

“It’s a beautiful thing to give and receive love. We shouldn’t feel embarrassed about meeting online or through a dating app — we are living proof of its success,” says Elidoni.

Anxhela adds that her experience with dua.com was very positive and that she felt completely safe and in control of the situation:

“I’m an open-minded person. I had no prejudices or fears using dua.com. I felt safe because I could manage everything myself, and anyone can do the same on dua.com. If someone sends you something inappropriate, you can simply block them,” she explains.

The story of Elidoni and Anxhela is a clear testament that sincere love and shared goals can lead to wonderful outcomes, even through an app like dua.com, which continues to bring Albanians together from around the world, helping build new families and lasting relationships.
