The former Dallas Mavericks superstar is lighting up the court with league-best numbers, but off the court, rumors are swirling about his personal life.
Fans have noticed the absence of posts featuring the player and his partner on social media, fueling speculation about a possible separation. Recently, TMZ reported that Goltes has filed a petition for child support, suggesting a split might be in the works. The couple shares two young daughters.
The petition, which does not address custody, mentions that Goltes returned to Slovenia with the children last May. Her request is for "only child support and attorney fees."
Doncic proposed to Goltes in July 2023, after their relationship began publicly in 2016. However, all joint posts have been removed from their Instagram accounts, including their engagement announcement. Despite this, both still have photos of their daughters, Gabriela and Olivia, on their feeds.
The reasons behind the apparent breakup remain unclear. On the court, Doncic's frustration has been evident.
Known for his fiery demeanor, he recently made headlines when he was called for a blocking foul against Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara. In response, Doncic made a money gesture towards official Tre Maddox, highlighting ongoing tension with league officials.
This season has seen Doncic racking up 15 technical fouls, putting him on the brink of an automatic one-game suspension. Despite these challenges, he's leading the league with impressive averages of 32.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game.
It's a season of contrasts for Doncic, excelling on the court while navigating personal challenges off it.
