Luka Dončić says he ended engagement amid custody battle with fiancée

Lakers superstar Luka Dončić revealed that he is in a custody battle with his fiancée Anamaria Goltes over their two daughters and that the couple has separated.

“I love my daughters more than anything and I have been doing everything I can to have them be with me in the United States during the season, but that has not been possible, so I recently made the difficult decision to end my engagement,” Doncic said in the statement sent to ESPN.

“Everything I do is for the happiness of my daughters and I will always fight to be with them and give them the best life I can.”

Goltes filed a petition for child support and attorney fees in California, TMZ reported Tuesday.

Dončić later said in a statement that she had recently ended her engagement to Goltes because she was unable to have her daughters with him in the United States during the season.

Dončić, 27, and Goltes had been dating for a decade after meeting as teenagers in Slovenia. They got engaged in July 2023 and their daughters were born in November 2023 and December 2025, when Dončić left the Lakers to travel to Slovenia when his youngest daughter, Olivia, was born.

Dončić moved from Dallas to Los Angeles in a trade for Anthony Davis in February 2025. He agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Lakers last summer, cementing his near future in Los Angeles.
