Los Angeles Lakers player Luka Doncic has confirmed his split from longtime fiancée Anamaria Goltes, citing challenges with their daughters' custody during his U.S. season. The couple, who dated since 2016 and got engaged in July 2023, share two young daughters. Anamaria recently filed a petition in California court for child support and attorney fees.
Oh, the drama on and off the court! Luka Doncic, the Los Angeles Lakers star, just spilled the tea to ESPN about ending his engagement to Anamaria Goltes. In a heartfelt statement, he explained, “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 added, “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.” 😔
The pair started dating back in 2016 and got engaged in July 2023, but things got messy with their little ones. They share Gabriela, born in November 2023, and Olivia, born in December 2025. A source told ESPN that Gabriela spent only three months with Luka in California last spring, while Olivia has never been to the state. Enter the custody battle vibes—sources say Luka's in a fight for more time with his girls. 💔
Adding fuel to the fire, Anamaria filed a petition this week in a California court seeking child support and attorney fees from Luka. Sources close to the situation told ESPN that the baller had “no idea” about the filing. Fans had been side-eyeing their relationship status after Anamaria unpinned their engagement post on social media and ditched her “LOVE” highlight bubble. Messy much? Sources also whisper of an ongoing custody tussle for the daughters, per ESPN's Dave McMenamin. Will Luka's fight for family time score him a win, or is this just the tip of the iceberg? 👀
