LOS ANGELES — NBA superstar Luka Doncic has revealed he’s no longer engaged to the mother of his two young children and is currently battling for custody rights.
According to reports from TMZ on Tuesday, Anamaria Goltes has filed legal documents in California seeking child support payments and legal fees. Following these reports, Doncic issued a public statement explaining that he recently called off his engagement to Goltes due to difficulties bringing his daughters to America during basketball season.
“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,” the Lakers star told ESPN. “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 27-year-old basketball star and Goltes had maintained a romantic relationship spanning ten years after first meeting as teenagers in Slovenia. The couple announced their engagement in July 2023, welcoming their first daughter in November 2023 and their second daughter Olivia in December 2025. Doncic actually left the Lakers temporarily to return to Slovenia for Olivia’s birth.
The All-Star player joined the Lakers organization through a trade with Dallas that sent Anthony Davis the other direction in February 2025. This past summer, he committed his future to Los Angeles by signing a lucrative three-year deal worth $165 million.
Currently, Doncic leads all NBA players in scoring with an average of 32.5 points per game this season, while also contributing 7.8 rebounds and ranking third league-wide with 8.4 assists per contest.
