Katarína Balážiová, known professionally as Becca, has announced her departure from Europa 2 radio after four years, marking the end of a prominent chapter in her broadcasting career. The moderator revealed her decision on January 30, 2026, citing a need for personal and professional growth.
Balážiová, who also goes by the name Becca, shared the news via social media, describing the decision as the “most tough professional decision” of her life. She expressed gratitude for her time at Europa 2 and the relationships she forged with colleagues, particularly Dušan Berky, known as Šorty, with whom she co-hosted a popular show. According to Radia.sk, Balážiová felt a growing need to pursue new challenges and opportunities.
“Although I feel at home at the microphone, my inner peace and gut feeling tell me that What we have is the right step,” Balážiová wrote in a post on Instagram, as reported by Radia.sk. She emphasized the strong bond she shared with Šorty, describing their collaboration as a unique and fulfilling experience.
Europa 2 acknowledged Balážiová’s contribution to the station, thanking her for years of service and wishing her success in her future endeavors. Her final broadcast with Šorty took place on January 30, 2026, bringing an end to their long-running partnership, according to Radia.sk.
Beyond her radio work, Balážiová has a significant online presence, with over 84,000 followers on social media. She has also been open about personal matters, including her decision to freeze her eggs, a topic she discussed publicly in response to a recent personal change. She described the procedure as an investment in her future family, acknowledging the biological realities of female fertility and the desire to uncover the right partner before starting a family, as reported by Diva.sk.
In a recent development, Balážiová has publicly acknowledged a new relationship with Ariyan, an athlete and influencer ten years her junior. She shared photos from a romantic trip to Italy in August 2025, confirming the relationship. Balážiová revealed on her social media that she initially followed Ariyan on Instagram because she found him attractive, and he later reached out to her. After a period of uncertainty, they reconnected and have since grow a couple, describing him as “the most attentive and loving man” in her life, according to Diva.sk.
