Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic has separated from his fiancée Anamaria Goltes and now faces a custody dispute over their two young daughters, Gabriela and Olivia, according to confirmed reports from ESPN.

Social Media Clues Sparked Speculation

Basketball fans first noticed trouble when Doncic and Goltes, a Slovenian model and his childhood sweetheart, stopped appearing on each other’s social media accounts. The couple shares two daughters and had been engaged. Internet observers spotted additional red flags when Doncic began following Instagram models and Goltes remained absent from his 27th birthday celebration earlier this month. The mounting evidence suggested the relationship had deteriorated despite their long history together.

Child Support Petition Filed

TMZ reported Tuesday that Goltes filed a petition for child support against the 27-year-old NBA player. The filing did not include custody claims but requested attorney’s fees. Hours later, ESPN confirmed the separation and revealed a custody battle had begun over the two young girls. Sources indicate Doncic was unaware the child support petition had been filed when the news broke publicly. The Lakers organization has not commented on how this personal matter might affect their star player’s performance.

Impact on Family and Career

The custody dispute represents a painful development for both parents and their daughters. Doncic joined the Lakers this season and has been performing at an elite level despite the personal turmoil. The situation highlights how even professional athletes face difficult family challenges that can become public spectacles. As the legal proceedings move forward, both parents will need to navigate the court system while maintaining their responsibilities to their children. The outcome will determine custody arrangements and financial support for Gabriela and Olivia moving forward.
