Luka Dončić and Anamaria Goltes relationship split

Overview

Basketball player Luka Dončić and model Anamaria Goltes have ended their long-term relationship and engagement. Reports indicate the pair are entering a legal dispute regarding the custody of their two daughters, Gabriela and Olivia. Following the split, Dončić unfollowed Goltes on Instagram. As he prepared to return to the United States to join the Los Angeles Lakers for the upcoming NBA season, Dončić shared a public message to his daughters on social media. He posted photos of the athlete with his children, though he obscured their faces to protect their privacy, stating, “G+O, no matter where in the world your daddy is. No day passes when you wouldn’t be in my heart. Wherever I go, you are always with me.” Dončić spent much of the summer in Slovenia, where his daughters currently reside. During his time there, he also hosted Lakers teammates in Ljubljana for informal training sessions to build team cohesion before the official preseason begins. While some reports have highlighted a difficult legal battle regarding child support and custody, other accounts suggest the parties may have reached an agreement. More recently, the legal situation has escalated. Dončić has filed an international petition under the Hague Convention in Slovenia to have his daughters brought from Slovenia to the United States, seeking to secure effective rights of access or residence in the U.S. This follows his decision to opt out of playing for the Slovenian national team this summer to prioritize time with his family. The dispute reportedly encompasses issues regarding child support, attorney’s fees, and visitation rights. Dončić has engaged high-profile attorney Laura Wasser to represent his interests, while Goltes is represented by Evan Ickovic. Regarding the petition, Dončić stated, “Nothing is more important to me than my daughters."
