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.”
