Some say opposites attract.
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic explained why he loves that his fiancée Anamaria Goltes “doesn’t like basketball” in a rare interview about his personal life.
“I met her in Croatia in the same camp I go to now. I met her when we were 11 — I don’t know, something like that,” Doncic said in a recent installment of “Headliners with Rachel Nichols” on Showtime. “So I’m really happy to have her. It’s been great and she helps me a lot.
“It’s a lot of pressure outside. When I get home, it’s no basketball talk. She don’t like basketball, but she goes to every game.
“I mean, she likes it now, but she didn’t like it, which is good for me. I really like that.”

Doncic said his relationship with the 25-year-old Goltes “means a lot” and that she helps him navigate the pressures of being an NBA player while representing his native country, Slovenia.
When Nichols asked if he was a romantic, Doncic laughed and said, “No.”
The host was referring to Doncic’s lavish proposal to the model, which took place near Bled Castle in Slovenia on July 7, 2023.

The couple announced their engagement on Instagram at the time, with the caption, “7.7,” which is a reference to the date and Doncic’s jersey number.
The outdoor proposal also featured stunning white flowers.
It came five months after Doncic and Goltes announced the birth of their daughter, Gabriela, in a post on Instagram on Dec. 1, 2022.

The couple lives in Dallas with their daughter.
Goltes was on the cover of Cosmopolitan Slovenija in October 2019.
She is signed with IMMORTAL Model Management in Slovenia.
