The Lakers’ superstar Luka Doncic has posted several photos of his daughters on Instagram, along with a heartwarming message. He initially wrote the message in Slovenian, but here’s what he said, translated into English.
“G+O, no matter where in the world your Dad is, there is not a day you are not in my heart. Wherever I go, they are always with me. I love you both! ❤️❤️,” he wrote.
Several NBA fans saw the post on social media and fawned over how Doncic is a role model father and how adorable his love for his daughters is.
Doncic also posted a series of pictures of recreational activities that he did with his daughters, like swimming, making jewelry from beads, walking in the park, and letting Gabriela, his elder daughter, braid his hair.
The 27-year-old Doncic is in the middle of a legal battle with his former fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, over the custody of his two daughters, Gabriela and Olivia, to whom he wrote this message. Some fans pointed out that this could be an attempt to show in court how much he values his time with his daughters.
Goltes is reportedly trying to restrict Doncic’s access to his daughters. She petitioned a court in Slovenia, seeking $50 million in child support and maintenance, along with reducing the Lakers star’s custody from two days to just one day a week.
Now, with the Lakers’ media day days away, Luka Doncic is returning to the United States after spending almost the entire summer in Slovenia, which included hosting a trip for the team. Given the distance he’ll be from his daughters, this September 20 post shows how much they mean to him.
Earlier this summer, it was reported that Luka Doncic chose to sit out his Team Slovenia commitments to spend more time with his family. Now, Doncic is preparing for another NBA season, and being away from his daughters will make things even harder.
Soon, his focus will be on helping the Lakers contend, but his latest message reminds everyone that basketball is just a small part of his life. For Doncic, his daughters are obviously still the heart of it.
With the Lakers’ media day approaching, Doncic is back to prepare for the 2026-27 season. Hopefully, spending the summer with his daughters motivated him to hit the ground running when the season tips off.
