How Luka Dončić Balances NBA Stardom, Marriage Plans & His New Baby GirL
Introduction: The Most Private Superstar in the NBA Until Now
Luka Dončić may be one of the most electrifying talents the NBA has seen in a decade, but off the court, he has always tried to stay extremely private. Throughout his rise from European phenom to Dallas Mavericks franchise cornerstone, Luka crafted a reputation for keeping his personal life tightly guarded posting sparingly, avoiding controversy, and rarely addressing anything unrelated to basketball.
But for someone who prefers silence, Luka Dončić’s personal world has been louder than ever.
From the arrival of his daughter, to the engagement to longtime partner Anamaria Goltes, to viral internet moments, breakup rumors, and constant public curiosity, Luka’s quiet private life has suddenly become one of the most talked-about topics around the NBA.
And fans can’t get enough.
Chapter 1: A Love Story That Started Long Before NBA Lights
Before Luka ever stepped foot in an NBA arena, before the All-Star selections, before the MVP discussions there was Anamaria Goltes.
The couple met as teenagers in Slovenia. Not at a glamorous event, not at a star-studded party but during a family vacation along the Croatian coast. Two kids who shared a country, a culture, and soon, a connection.
They became close friends first.
That friendship eventually evolved into a relationship one strong enough to survive distance, pressure, fame, and the lifestyle that comes with being an emerging global superstar.
When Luka moved from Europe to Dallas in 2018, Anamaria didn’t just support from afar; she moved with him. She left her modeling career in Europe and reset her life in the United States. For Luka, that loyalty and stability became one of the most important pillars in his life.
Chapter 2: The Breakup That Shocked Fans
Despite their long-term connection, Luka and Anamaria once faced a short-lived breakup that caused a social media frenzy.
Around 2018, eagle-eyed fans noticed they had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Immediately, rumors exploded cheating accusations, long-distance frustrations, lifestyle clashes. Nothing was confirmed, nothing was denied, but the breakup lasted only a brief period.
They reunited quietly.
And from that moment forward, their relationship became stronger and more private. It was almost as if both realized that their bond worked best when kept away from the noise.
That reunion was the moment their relationship stopped being “young love” and started becoming something more permanent.
Chapter 3: Luka Dončić Returns to Social Media as a Family Man
For a long time, Luka rarely posted anything personal.
Basketball clips? Yes.
Dog photos? Always.
Relationship photos? Almost never.
But as he matured and as their relationship deepened the walls began to slowly come down.
Anamaria appeared more frequently on Luka’s feed.
Luka began making playful comments under her photos.
Fans started calling them “the most underrated NBA couple.”
Their dynamic is the opposite of Hollywood romance:
- They keep things quiet.
- They avoid scandals.
- They stay loyal.
- And they never play into the publicity game.
In an era where athletes often chase headlines, Luka and Anamaria choose peace.
But even this peaceful couple couldn’t avoid going viral.
Chapter 4: The Engagement Announcement That Shook NBA Social Media
In July 2023, Luka Dončić proposed to Anamaria at Lake Bled, one of the most beautiful locations in their home country of Slovenia.

The basketball world suddenly saw Luka not just as a superstar but as a family man.
Chapter 5: The Couple Faces New Pressure Fame, Expectations & Rumors
As Luka’s star rose higher and higher, so did the public attention on his personal life. The NBA world isn’t always kind to partners of superstars everything gets scrutinized, every photo becomes a headline, every interaction becomes a rumor.
Anamaria, once a private European model, suddenly became an international topic of conversation:
- “Why doesn’t she post more?”
- “Why don’t they attend more events?”
- “Why do they avoid red carpets?”
- “Are they too quiet?”

The couple has mastered the art of staying relevant without ever seeking attention.
And then came the biggest news of all — the pregnancy announcement.
