Luka Doncic is thriving on the court for the Los Angeles Lakers. But his life has been diverted into the limelight. In the previous week, the 27-year-old superstar had confirmed that he had ended his engagement with his ex-fiancée, Anamaria Goltes. He exposed the news when his long-time partner petitioned him to pay child support and attorney fees. Another twist has been introduced to the story.

According to reports from DailyMail: “Luka Doncic has quietly filed an injunction demanding to see his two young daughters after his ex-fiancée suddenly relocated to Europe with their children.” In May, the model and fitness influencer went back to Slovenia with their daughter Gabriela. Goltes was, in the meantime, left in Slovenia awaiting the birth of their second child, Olivia. Since then, she has remained there.

Then, in December 2025, Doncic made the trip to be present for his second daughter’s birth, then returned to Los Angeles to carry on with his first full Lakers season. The sequence of action simply shows how he tried to juggle family needs with professional demands.

Now, the short reunion late last year appears to have strained the family dynamic. And the matters are seemingly now moving toward a possible cross-continent custody dispute. Meanwhile, during his time in Slovenia, Luka reportedly asked Anamaria if Gabriela could accompany him back to California.

However, the conversation soon escalated, leading authorities to attend Kranj Maternity Hospital on December 6, just two days after Olivia’s birth, after a reported disagreement. At the same time, reports suggest that Goltes filed a child support petition– a move that appeared to catch Doncic by surprise. This development came six months after his reported $165 million contract extension with the Lakers. Thus, adding further complexity to an already delicate situation.

The officers looking into the dispute at the hospital informed that they ‘did not detect any elements of a criminal offense or misdemeanor’ from Luka. They also added that Doncic had left ‘peacefully’. Now, Luka Doncic has addressed the matter publicly and also revealed what is giving him some relief in these tough times.

Basketball is Luka Doncic’s current cure

Last Tuesday, the Slovenian guard told ESPN, “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.” He added, “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.”

Meanwhile, he spoke to the media on March 12 after an almost 50-point triple-double night against the Chicago Bulls. The stat sheet once again captured Doncic’s brilliance. However, it raised a deeper question after the final buzzer about how he stays focused amid noise beyond the court.

“Alright,” he said. “That’s life, I don’t know what to say. But that’s my job, so I have to be here. They pay me a lot to play for them, so– and also basketball is giving me some kind of peace when I play a game.”

Luka Doncic’s personal life grows increasingly layered, but he continues to show up where it matters. Meanwhile, distance and duty pull in opposite directions. So, for now, he leans into the game, finding clarity there, while also making a move against Anamaria Goltes. And the court remains calm amid everything unresolved.
