Luka Doncic's Ex-Fiancée Seeks $50 Million and Reduced Custody in New Slovenia Filing, Report Says

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic's former fiancée has filed a new legal claim in Slovenia seeking a $50 million settlement along with reduced parenting time for Doncic, according to a TMZ Sports report citing sources with direct knowledge of the situation, marking a sharp escalation in a custody dispute that has shadowed the NBA star since the spring.

Anamaria Goltes, a Slovenian model who was in a relationship with Doncic for roughly a decade before their engagement ended earlier this year, is reportedly seeking $40 million for herself as part of the proposed settlement, with the remaining $10 million connected to the couple's two young daughters, 2-year-old Gabriela and infant Olivia. The report also indicates Goltes is seeking to reduce Doncic's custody time with the girls from at least two days a week down to just one.

A Shifting Legal Battle Across Two Countries

The new Slovenian filing follows a winding legal path that began in California earlier this year. Goltes initially filed a petition for child support in Los Angeles County, a filing her attorney at the time stated explicitly did not seek any custody orders. Doncic subsequently moved to dismiss that California case, arguing the matter belonged in Slovenia instead, since the couple's daughters have been living there since last May. According to reporting from Complex, Doncic's attorney, Laura Wasser, said Doncic had been unsuccessful in convincing Goltes to relocate with their children to California.

Earlier this week, Goltes filed a request to dismiss the California case entirely, writing in a statement that she wanted to resolve matters "amicably and by a mutual agreement which is in the best interests of our children." According to the New York Post, that dismissal request was rejected by California court officials, who noted the paperwork was missing Doncic's required signature. Rather than pursuing an amicable resolution, TMZ then reported that Goltes had filed the new $50 million claim in Slovenia, the same jurisdiction Doncic himself had argued was the appropriate venue for the dispute months earlier.

An Unconfirmed but Widely Reported Claim

It is worth noting that the specific $50 million figure and its breakdown have not been independently confirmed by either party, and neither Doncic nor Goltes had publicly commented on the new Slovenian claim as of this week, according to Lakers Daily. The reporting is attributed entirely to TMZ's unnamed sources, a detail that outlets covering the story have generally flagged even while widely reporting the same figures.

Doncic's Public Comments on the Breakup

Doncic addressed the end of the relationship directly earlier this year in comments to ESPN, saying, "I love my daughters more than anything and I've been doing everything I can for them to be with me in the U.S. during the season, but that hasn't been possible, so I recently made the tough decision to end my engagement." That statement came after Goltes' initial child support filing in California became public, and it has continued to shape how the dispute has been characterized in subsequent coverage, with Doncic consistently framed as having sought to remain closely involved in his daughters' lives despite the logistical challenges of his NBA career.

In May, Doncic announced he would skip playing for Slovenia's national basketball team over the summer specifically in order to remain in the country and pursue joint custody arrangements with his daughters, a decision that underscored the priority he has placed on maintaining a presence in their lives during the ongoing legal proceedings.

A Reaction That Sparked Its Own Controversy

News of the new $50 million claim quickly generated reaction across social media, including a pointed comment from former NBA player Brandon Jennings, who wrote on social media platform X, "Gold Digger. Like 90% of them." The remark, a sweeping generalization about women broadly rather than a comment specific to the facts of Doncic and Goltes' case, drew its own wave of criticism online even as it circulated widely alongside coverage of the underlying custody dispute.

Some commentary responding to the situation has noted that while a $10 million figure tied specifically to child support for the couple's two daughters might be defensible given Doncic's current contract, reportedly worth $165 million, the additional $40 million requested for Goltes personally has drawn more skepticism, particularly given earlier reporting indicating Doncic has consistently met his financial obligations throughout the dispute.

Doncic's Basketball Season Continued Despite the Drama

Throughout the unfolding personal dispute, Doncic's on-court performance has remained largely unaffected. He led the NBA in scoring for the second time in his career last season, averaging 33.5 points per game, while also contributing 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds per contest. Doncic is now preparing for the 2026-27 season and is reportedly set to host his Lakers teammates for a four-day minicamp in Slovenia later this month, continuing to blend his basketball obligations with his desire to remain close to his daughters during the offseason.

What Remains Unresolved

The Slovenian legal process surrounding the new claim remains in its early stages, and it remains unclear how long the case might take to resolve or whether Doncic and Goltes will ultimately reach a settlement outside of formal court proceedings. Given that Goltes' earlier attempt to withdraw her California case was itself rejected on a technicality, and that the dispute has now shifted jurisdictions entirely, the timeline for any final resolution remains uncertain.

With basketball training camp approaching and Doncic continuing to split his time between his professional obligations and his effort to maintain custody of his daughters, the dispute is likely to remain a closely watched storyline heading into the new NBA season. Neither Doncic nor Goltes has issued a detailed public response to the specific $50 million figure reported this week, and it remains to be seen whether either side will address the claim directly as the legal process in Slovenia moves forward.
