“For a young kid from Slovenia coming to the U.S. for the first time, you made North Texas feel like home”. Just the start of Luka Doncic’s farewell message would be enough to make a grown man emotional. Arriving from Real Madrid, the Slovenian devoted the last 7 years to becoming the face of the Dallas Mavericks. Under his and Kyrie Irving’s leadership, the team reached new heights and even made the NBA Finals after decades.
Unfortunately, that journey was unexpectedly halted less than 24 hours ago, when a shocking deal confirmed the player’s trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. As Doncic says his goodbye to his Texas fans, he receives assistance in spreading the message from his fiancée.
A few hours ago, Anamaria Goltes took to her official Instagram account to share a series of stories with her 218,000 followers. She highlighted the post put out by Luka Doncic, that carried his official farewell statement. Touching base on the beginnings of his NBA journey, the Slovenian highlighted his belief that the Mavericks were going to be his home for the duration of his NBA career. He believed that one day, he would get to win a championship for the team, which wouldn’t be possible now.
He thanked everyone from the Mavericks community, including the fans. The heartfelt message compelled Anamaria Goltes to write “Thank You”, with a blue heart emoji, on the next story. After everything that her fiancée expressed, was there anything more that needed to be said?
The relationship between Anamaria Goltes and Luka Doncic is almost as old as the latter’s basketball career. According to People, they first met in Croatia at a young age, and have been a couple since 2016. While Doncic went on to make a name for himself in Real Madrid and then the NBA, Goltes found success in modeling. From becoming an ambassador for Lisca Lingerie and signing with Immortal Models Management to doing several campaigns for Zlatarna Celje and appearing on the cover of Cosmopolitan Slovenia, Goltes became a recognizable personality in Slovenia. Her association with Luka Doncic only helped in that.
The couple has called Dallas their home for more than half a decade. Transitioning from Europe to the South Side of the US would be a big adjustment for anyone. In an interview with Cosmopolitan SI, Goltes highlighted how a new place and new culture prompted her to develop a new way of thinking. She had to reportedly find new local grocery stores, pick a gym and, certainly not the least important thing, make new friends. While it took some time, the model was able to give a positive update about a year later.
“Dallas is a lot like Europe,” said Goltes in one of her Instagram stories. “I love Dallas. It reminds me of home.”
