Who is Anamaria Goltes? Why Lakers superstar Luka Doncic and his longtime fiancée split

Luka Doncic, the superstar guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, has ended his relationship with longtime fiancée Anamaria Goltes. The split has now led to a legal dispute involving custody of their two young daughters, according to multiple media reports. Goltes, who works as a model and social media influencer, has filed a petition in California requesting child support as well as coverage for legal expenses, according to a report from TMZ. The couple share two children. Their first daughter, Gabriela, was born in December 2023, while their second child, Olivia, arrived in 2025. Goltes removed all photos featuring Doncic from her Instagram account last week, which quickly sparked speculation online about the state of their relationship.

Doncic, 27, proposed to Anamaria Goltes in July 2023. The fashion and fitness model had known Doncic since their childhood, and the two began their relationship in 2016 after years of friendship.

In her legal filing, as reported by New York Post, Goltes stated that she has been living in Slovenia with the two children since May 5, 2025. Before relocating, the family had spent time living together in Los Angeles from February 7, 2025, until May 4, 2025. Prior to that period, they were based in Dallas from September 26, 2024, through February 6, 2025. Since arriving in Los Angeles for training camp in September, Doncic has spent only two days with his children, reported New York Post.


"I love my daughters more than anything,” Doncic said in a statement to ESPN as quoted by New York Post. “I’ve been doing everything I can for them to be with me in the US during the season, but that hasn’t been possible, so I recently made the tough decision to end my engagement.”

"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."
