Since the Dallas Mavericks acquired him on NBA Draft night in 2018, Luka Dončić has become one of the biggest stars in the league. Before that, the Slovenia native got his pro career started with Real Madrid in 2015.
For almost that entire time, Dončić has had Anamaria Goltes by his side. Dončić and Goltes have known each other since they were kids and began dating in 2016. She has since joined him in the United States, where the two built a life together in Dallas that now includes a daughter, born in December 2023, and three dogs.

Dončić confirmed in a statement to ESPN that he and Goltes had called off their engagement amid a dispute over their daughters.
"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," Dončić said.
He continued, "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."
At the time of their split, Dončić said he had not seen his daughters since being present in Slovenia for Olivia's birth the previous December.
