Luka Doncic and Anamaria Goltes have separated
Luka Doncic has separated from his fiancée Anamaria Goltes, marking a significant development in the personal life of the NBA star. The separation comes amid a custody battle over their two daughters, Gabriela and Olivia, which has escalated into legal disputes.
In recent filings, Goltes has petitioned for child support and attorney fees from Doncic. This legal action follows a tumultuous period for the couple, who had been engaged since July 2023, after dating for ten years. Their first daughter, Gabriela, was born in November 2023, while their second daughter, Olivia, was born in December 2025.
Doncic, who was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025 and signed a three-year, $165 million contract extension in August 2023, has not seen his daughters or Goltes since December 2025. The separation appears to have been influenced by Doncic’s desire to bring Gabriela to the U.S. during a disagreement with Goltes, which he described as a tough decision.
In a statement, Doncic expressed his love for his daughters, stating, “I love my daughters more than anything and I’ve been doing everything I can for them to be with me in the U.S. during the season, but that hasn’t been possible, so I recently made the tough decision to end my engagement.” He further emphasized his commitment to their happiness, saying, “Everything I do is for my daughters’ happiness and I will always fight to be with them and give them the best life I can.”
Details surrounding the custody arrangements remain unconfirmed, and the reasons for Goltes filing the petition for child support are unclear. The situation has drawn attention, especially given the couple’s long history, having started dating in 2016 after knowing each other since their youth.
In a surprising twist, it has been reported that Goltes deleted all photos of her and Doncic from her Instagram account, signaling a desire to distance herself from their past relationship. Additionally, Doncic had ‘no idea’ that Goltes had filed the petition, indicating a lack of communication between the two during this challenging time.
As the legal proceedings unfold, both parties are expected to navigate the complexities of co-parenting while dealing with the emotional ramifications of their separation. The public and fans alike will be watching closely as this situation develops, particularly given Doncic’s high-profile status in the NBA and the impact on his family life.
