Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Anamaria Goltes, in Slovenia on Friday. The four-time All-Star got down on one knee at Lake Bled, an iconic alpine lake surrounded by mountains and forests, to pop the question.
Doncic, 24, and his new fiancée revealed their engagement in social media posts. “💍❤️ 7.7,” Doncic wrote in the caption box on Instagram. Visible in the background is the Church of the Mother of God on Bled Island, a tiny tear-shaped isle in the middle of Lake Bled.
According to a few NBA betting sites, the Mavericks hold 10th-shortest odds to win next season’s championship in 2024. Check out which sportsbooks are showing better odds for the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and Los Angeles Clippers.
Lakers superstar LeBron James was among the Instagram commentators to congratulate the Mavericks guard. “Congrats brother!!!!” James wrote. Luka Doncic chose the date July 7, or 7/7, to propose because he wears No. 77.
Goltes, 25, works as a Slovenian model, dancer, and fitness instructor. She has over 190,000 followers on Instagram and defines herself as a “fashion and lifestyle content creator.”
