Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic has confirmed that he has separated from his fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, and is involved in a custody dispute concerning their two daughters. Doncic disclosed the situation in comments to ESPN, acknowledging that he is currently navigating a private family matter away from the court.
The separation marks a significant personal development for the Lakers star, who has been one of the central figures in the NBA in recent seasons. While details surrounding the split and the custody proceedings have not been made public, Doncic’s acknowledgment underscores the off-court challenges he is facing while continuing his professional career.
Doncic and Goltes have been linked for several years, with their relationship predating his NBA stardom. Together they have two daughters, whose privacy both sides are expected to prioritize as legal and family proceedings move forward. Specific terms of the custody battle, including any arrangements or requests made by either party, have not been disclosed.
Despite the high-profile nature of his position with the Lakers and his global recognition as one of the league’s premier players, Doncic has generally kept much of his personal life out of the spotlight. His decision to address the separation and custody dispute publicly appears aimed at acknowledging the situation while limiting speculation about his circumstances.
The Lakers, like most professional organizations, typically treat players’ personal and family matters as private, and there has been no indication of how, if at all, the situation might affect team activities. No additional official statements from the team, Goltes, or representatives for either side were immediately available.
In the absence of further confirmed information, it remains unclear how the custody process will unfold or whether any formal agreements have been proposed or reached. For now, the only confirmed details are that Doncic and Goltes have separated and that legal proceedings concerning custody of their two daughters are underway. All other aspects of the matter, including timelines, court venues, or potential resolutions, have not been made public.
