With the Playoffs nearing, Luka Doncic’s whole focus is on the game, but a recent revelation says that things aren’t as smooth as it seems.
With the scoreboard dominance and MVP race, there’s no flaw in Doncic’s play. But the LA Lakers star’s family life is caught in a rift, and games aside, his spokesperson has a more personal highlight on the current scenario.
“Luka has always provided for anything his daughters could need or want and will continue to do so,” the spokesperson said to PEOPLE on March 24, about the Child Support filing issue. “He will always fight to be with his daughters and give them the best life possible.”
Statement from Luka Dončić’s spokesperson regarding the child support filing in California:

Earlier this month, Doncic had to end his engagement with Anamaria Goltes. But Goltes filed a child support petition in a California Court. However, it was without Doncic’s prior knowledge, who had already filed a family law action back in his home country, Slovenia, last month.
So, as per the Spokesperson, “Luka is seeking dismissal of this case simply because Slovenia, not California, is the appropriate forum for adjudication of this dispute.” However, the Lakers’ star keeps being there for his daughters.
Doncic and Goltes’ relationship is almost a decade old, as they started dating in 2016. The couple had their first daughter in 2023 and their second in December last year. Calling of the engagement was a “tough decision”, but Doncic had a reason.
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”, Doncic told ESPN. “So I recently made the tough decision to end my engagement.”
The birth of his first baby “was the happiest day of (his) life”, and Doncic highlighted, “everything I do is for my daughters’ happiness, and I will always fight to be with them and give them the best life I can.”
So, the current situation may look messy, but surely a father will find a way to be there for his kids.
