Since 2016, NBA sensation Luka Doncic has been dating his fiancee, Anamaria Goltes.

They first met in Croatia when they were children. Goltes, a model and influencer, states that she does not wish to be defined by their long-term relationship.

In an October 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan SI, she expressed her desire to be known as her own person rather than Doncic’s girlfriend.

Nonetheless, she makes it plain that the Dallas Mavericks player is her top priority in all aspects of her life, stating on Instagram, “People have a best friend, boyfriend, true love. “I’m fortunate that they’re all the same person.”

On July 7, 2023, after seven years of dating, Doncic proposed to Goltes, a date that could be a reference to his jersey number, 77. The special occasion took place at Lake Bled in Slovenia, with the basketball player announcing their engagement on Instagram with the hashtag ” 7.7.”

Who is Luka Doncic’s fiancee, then? Here is all the information you need about Anamaria Goltes.

Goltes was born in Slovenia on April 30, 1998. She has a sibling named Pia who is younger. After completing secondary school, Goltes enrolled at the University of Ljubljana, the oldest and largest university in Slovenia, where her father is also a graduate. Goltes attended the School of Economics and Business at the University.

While residing in Dallas, where Doncic plays for the Mavericks, she continued to study virtually, telling Cosmopolitan SI that due to the time difference, she would log on to submit her coursework and assignments immediately after breakfast.

During a March 2020 Instagram Story Q&A, Goltes revealed how she and Doncic first met.

“I’ve probably answered this query a million times. We met at the seaside in Croatia when we were 12 years old,” she said (via the New York Post). We still have the same group of acquaintances from that time period. You preserve the authentic ones, correct?”

When asked by Cosmopolitan SI how Doncic won her over, Goltes stated that his youthful and lively energy initially drew her to him, and this remаins the case.

In 2017, Goltes debuted as a model when she became an ambassador for Lisca Lingerie. She has since appeared in several campaigns for the Slovenian jeweler Zlatarna Celje and on the cover of Cosmopolitan Slovenia shortly after signing with the agency Immortal Models Management.

Goltes had previously proclaimed the launch of her fashion blog in October 2021 and hinted at the possibility of designing a workout clothing line in July 2020, but there have been no updates on the projects. In February 2022, Goltes revealed for the first time how she selects an ensemble in a TikTоk video.

Goltes previously told Cosmopolitan SI that focusing on her identity and objectives was essential to making her relationship with Doncic work, in part to prevent her from losing her sense of self. She expressed her belief that a person’s ability to be content alone makes them a better friend and partner.

Doncic and Goltes currently reside in Dallas; however, it took her some time to adjust to the city after relocating from Slovenia. She explained to Cosmopolitan SI that her exposure to a new location and culture prompted her to adopt a new perspective. She had to locate the best local grocery stores, select a gym, and make new friends, among other adjustments.

Goltes gave a heartfelt update on the transition the following year. “Dallas is a lot like Europe,” she said in an Instagram Story question-and-answer session. “I enjoy Dallas. It makes me think of home.”

According to Goltes, relocating to a new continent helped her develop as a person and provided her with a fresh perspective, which had a positive effect on her relationship with Doncic. She revealed that she learned to appreciate her own company during Doncic’s extensive training schedule.

“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 as much time together as we would like because we are always working on separate projects. Therefore, the opportunity to spend time with one another is very enjoyable.”

Goltes is frequently observed cheering for Doncic at games and events, where she wears his number, 77. Even when she is unable to attend games, Goltes continues to represent him at home with their canines and matching blue-and-white uniforms.

At the 2023 All-Star Game, she wore a denim blazer with his nаme and number embroidered on the back. Beyond the basketball arena, Goltes walked the red carpet at the 2019 NBA Awards with Rookie of the Year Doncic. Doncic opted for an elegant blue suit, whereas the model wore a form-fitting black gown.

Doncic and Goltes constitute a team in multiple ways. In December 2022, when Doncic’s basketball schedule prevented him from visiting two children’s hospitals in Slovenia that he had supported through his foundation, Goltes attended in his place with holiday-themed balloons.

Doncic stated in a statement shared by Cosmopolitan SI, “I hope this brings a smile to their faces and brightens them up. I want them to know that I am thinking of them during the holidays and that I want them to return home as soon as possible because they are courageous and resilient.”
