Anamaria Goltes, a model, and Luka Doncic, a Dallas Mavericks athlete, recently welcomed their first child together.
Luka Doncic, an NBA player, and his fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Gabriela, in late 2023.
The couple has been in a relationship since 2016, and they first encountered each other in Croatia when they were young.
In 2018, Goltes shared on Instagram, “People have boyfriends, best friends, and genuine loves. I am fortunate that they are all the same person.”
Doncic made a romantic proposal in Slovenia on July 7, 2023. The date of the proposal may have been a reference to his jersey number, 77.
All right. Who is Luka Doncic’s fiancée? This page contains all the pertinent information regarding Anamaria Goltes.
Despite residing in the United States, she pursued her education in Slovenia.
Goltes was born in Slovenia on April 30, 1998. Pia is the name of her younger sister. Following her high school graduation, Goltes enrolled at Slovenia’s oldest and largest university, the University of Ljubljana, where her father had previously graduated. Goltes was a student in the University’s School of Business and Economics.
Doncic maintained her virtual studies while residing in Dallas, where she plays for the Mavericks. Due to the time difference, she told Cosmopolitan SI that she would get on right away after breakfast to turn in her homework and assignments.
Doncic and her first met when they were young.
In March 2020, Goltes revealed how she and Doncic first met in an Instagram Story Q&A.
“I gave this question a million different answers. We first met on a Croatian beach when we were twelve years old,” she remarked (via the New York Post). We still hang out with the same pals from back then, which is a fun truth. You do retain the authentic ones, correct?
When Cosmopolitan SI asked Goltes how Doncic won her over, she shared that it was his young and playful energy that attracted her to him, and that continues to be the case to this day.
She is an influencer and model.
Goltes began her modeling career in 2017 when she signed on as a Lisca Lingerie ambassador. She soon joined with Immortal Models Management, an agency, and has since starred in multiple ads for Slovenian jeweler Zlatarna Celje in addition to being featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan Slovenia.
Goltes previously hinted at the possibility of creating a fitness apparel line in July 2020 and declared the opening of her fashion blog in October 2021, yet there have been no more updates on the endeavors. Most recently, in a TikTok video from February 2022, Goltes gave fans a rare peek at her wardrobe selection process.
Goltes previously told Cosmopolitan SI that focusing on her identity and goals was crucial to making her relationship with Doncic work, in part so that she doesn’t lose her sense of self. She expressed her conviction that a person can become a better friend and partner if they can find happiness on their own.
She resides in Dallas with Doncic.
Doncic and Goltes live together in Dallas, and while she enjoys the city now, it took some getting used to it after moving from Slovenia. She explained to Cosmopolitan SI that she was exposed to a new place with a new culture and it prompted a new way of thinking. Some of the adjustments she had to make included finding the best local grocery stores, picking a gym and making new friends.
The following year, Goltes gave a heartfelt update about the transition. “Dallas is a lot like Europe,” she shared in an Instagram Story Q&A. “I love Dallas. It reminds me of home.”
Goltes said that relocating to a new continent helped her grow as a person and gave her a new perspective — and that positively impacted her relationship with Doncic. She opened up about learning to enjoy her own company when Doncic was busy training a lot of the time.
She and Doncic have three dogs
Doncic and Goltes share three dogs: a Pomeranian named Hugo, a White Swiss Shepherd named Gia and a large breed named Viki, whom they welcomed into their family in February 2022. Goltes said one of the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic was being able to spend quality time with her boyfriend and pooches.
“I love that I get to spend some time with Luka, Hugo, and Gia in the quarantine,” she said in an Instagram Story Q&A. “We don’t get to spend that many days together because we are always working on our individual things. So being able to spend time together feels very good.”
She is Doncic’s biggest cheerleader
Goltes is often on hand to cheer for Doncic at games and events, where she’s spotted wearing his jersey number, 77. And even when she can’t attend matchups, Goltes still represents him at home with their dogs and their coordinating blue-and-white uniforms.
At the 2023 All-Star game, she stepped out in a custom denim jacket with his name and number on the back. Beyond the basketball court, Goltes walked the NBA Awards red carpet with Doncic in 2019 when he was named Rookie of the Year. The model wore a form-fitting black gown while Doncic opted for a sleek blue suit.
She and Doncic team up for charity
Doncic and Goltes are a team in more ways than one. When Doncic’s basketball schedule prohibited him from visiting two Slovenian children’s hospitals he’d supported with his foundation in December 2022, Goltes attended in his place with holiday-themed balloons.
In a statement shared by Cosmopolitan SI, Doncic said, “I hope this puts a smile on their faces and cheers them up. They are brave and strong, so I want them to know that I am thinking of them during the holidays and that I want them to return to their homes as soon as possible.”
She and Doncic share one child
In early December 2023, Doncic and Goltes announced the arrival of their first child together.
“Gabriela !” they captioned a photo of the newborn on Instagram.
It’s unclear exactly what day the couple’s daughter was born, but Doncic did miss the Mavericks vs. Memphis Grizzlies game in Dallas on Dec. 1.
