Luka Doncic’s personal life has become nearly as talked-about as his game-winning performances for the Los Angeles Lakers. After a decade-long relationship with childhood sweetheart Anamaria Goltes came to an end earlier this year, fans have been asking one question on repeat: who is Luka Doncic dating now? Here is everything confirmed so far, including the latest legal update in his ongoing situation with Goltes.
Is Luka Doncic Single Right Now?
As of early August 2026, Luka Doncic does not have a confirmed girlfriend. Multiple entertainment and sports outlets, including reports from July 2026, note that Doncic has not confirmed a new relationship and appears to be focused primarily on his two young daughters and his career with the Lakers. Despite persistent online chatter, no credible source has linked him to a real, confirmed romantic partner since his split from Goltes.
What Happened With Anamaria Goltes?
Doncic and Anamaria Goltes, a Slovenian model and social media personality, first met as children and began dating in 2016. Their relationship was long considered one of the most stable in the NBA world. Doncic proposed to Goltes on July 7, 2023, at Lake Bled in Slovenia, and the couple went on to welcome two daughters together: Gabriela, born in December 2023, and Olivia, born in December 2025.
However, in March 2026, Doncic confirmed to ESPN that he and Goltes had called off their engagement. In his statement, he said he had been trying to have his daughters with him in the U.S. during the season but that it hadn’t been possible, leading him to make what he called “the tough decision to end my engagement.” He added that his daughters’ happiness would always come first.
The Custody and Child Support Battle
The breakup quickly turned into a complicated international legal matter. Goltes, who relocated to Slovenia with the couple’s older daughter in May 2025, filed a petition in a California court seeking child support and attorney’s fees. Doncic’s legal team, led by prominent family law attorney Laura Wasser, moved to dismiss the case, arguing that Slovenia — where both daughters have lived — was the proper jurisdiction, since Doncic had already opened custody proceedings there in February 2026.
In a significant update, Goltes filed a request in early August 2026 to voluntarily dismiss her California child support petition without prejudice. In her filing, she said she was withdrawing the case “with the specific intention of resolving this matter amicably and by a mutual agreement which is in the best interests of our children.” This came just before a scheduled California hearing on Doncic’s motion to dismiss, which had been pushed back to August 14, 2026. The dismissal suggests both sides may now be working toward a private resolution rather than a prolonged courtroom fight.
The Madelyn Cline Dating Rumor, Debunked
Shortly after Doncic’s split from Goltes became public in March 2026, rumors spread that he was dating “Outer Banks” actress Madelyn Cline after fans noticed the two following each other on Instagram. An image that appeared to show them together also circulated widely on social media, but it was later revealed to be AI-generated. TMZ subsequently reported that sources close to the situation confirmed the two were not dating and, in fact, had never even met. Cline has since been linked to other names entirely unrelated to Doncic, and no evidence has ever surfaced supporting a real relationship between them.
Doncic’s Focus: Fatherhood and the Lakers
Since the split, Doncic has largely kept his personal life low-key, occasionally sharing glimpses of his daughters on social media rather than addressing dating speculation directly. He notably skipped Slovenia’s 2026 EuroBasket campaign to focus on family matters, underscoring how much priority he has placed on his role as a father amid the ongoing custody discussions. On the court, he has continued to perform at an elite level for the Lakers, seemingly using basketball as a steady anchor amid the personal turbulence.
The Bottom Line
There is currently no verified girlfriend in Luka Doncic’s life. The Madelyn Cline rumor was firmly debunked, and while his split from Anamaria Goltes generated months of legal back-and-forth, the recent dismissal of the child support petition may signal the two are moving toward a more amicable arrangement for their daughters. As always with high-profile athletes, new rumors may surface quickly, so this remains a developing story.
