Luka Doncic’s Fiancée Shares Touching Birthday Tribute for His 26th.
The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for a back-to-back on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers after a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. However, Friday holds extra importance for another reason: it marks the 26th birthday of the Lakers’ newest star, Luka Doncic.
At only 26, Doncic has already achieved remarkable success, making him one of the most accomplished players under this age. He is set to play in his first back-to-back games since recovering from injury, marking his debut in such a game as a Lakers player after the major trade.
Before the game festivities began, Doncic received a heartfelt birthday post on Instagram from his fiancée, Anamaria Goltes. She has attended many of his games since he joined the Lakers.
“Happy birthday, my love,” she wrote, accompanied by a photo of them holding their daughter.
The couple became engaged in July 2023 and welcomed their first child in December. They first met in Croatia when they were 12, a detail Anamaria shared in a 2020 interview, two years after Doncic was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 2018.
“I’ve answered this question a million times. We met at 12, at the seaside in Croatia,” she said. “Fun fact: we still have the same group of friends from that time. You keep the real ones, right?”
After Doncic’s surprising trade to L.A. just over three weeks ago, Goltes handled the transition gracefully, offering a sincere “Thank You” to Dallas for supporting their family since 2018.
