The couple got engaged in July
Luka Doncic is a dad!
The NBA star, 24, and fiancée Anamaria Goltes, 25, have welcomed their first baby together, the couple announced on Instagram in a joint post on Friday Dec, 1st.
Doncic and Goltes each held one of their infant daughter’s hands in the beautiful announcement photo, sharing her name is Gabriela.
The baby news came hours after the league revealed Doncic would miss Friday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to “personal reasons.”
During an Instagram Story Q&A session in March 2020, Goltes shared how she and Doncic first met.
“I answered this question like a million times. We met when we were 12 years old at the seaside in Croatia,” she said (via the New York Post). “Fun fact: We still have the same group of friends we had at that time. You keep the real ones, am I right?”
After seven years of dating, Doncic got down on one knee and proposed to Goltes on July 7, 2023, a date that could be a nod to his jersey number, 77.
The special moment happened at Lake Bled in Slovenia, with the basketball player captioning their engagement announcement on Instagram, “💍❤️ 7.7.”
