Goltes was born on April 30, 1998, in Slovenia. She has oneyounger sister named Pia. When Goltes graduated high school, she attended the University of Ljubljana, the oldest and largest college in Slovenia, and of which her father is also an alum. Goltes attended the University’s School of Economics and Business.

While living in Dallas, where Doncic played with the Mavericks, she continued studying virtually, tellingCosmopolitan SIthat she would immediately log on to submit her coursework and assignments first thing in the morning after breakfast because of the time difference.

She and Doncic met as kids

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?”

WhenCosmopolitan SIasked Goltes how Doncic won her over, she shared that it was his young and playful energy that attracted her to him, and that continues to be the case to this day.

She’s a model and influencer

Goltes made her modeling debut in 2017, when she became an ambassador forLisca Lingerie. Shortly after, she signed with the agencyImmortal Models Managementand hasappeared in several campaignsforSlovenian jeweler Zlatarna Celje, as well as on the cover ofCosmopolitan Slovenia.

In the past, Goltes announced the launch of her fashion blog in October 2021 and teased the idea ofdesigning a workout clothing linein July 2020, though there have been no additional updates on the projects. Most recently, Goltes shared a rare look at how she chooses an outfit in aTikTokposted in February 2022.

Goltes previously toldCosmopolitan SIthat focusing on her identity and goals was crucial to making her relationship with Doncic work, in part so that she doesn’t lose her sense of self. She shared her belief that when a person can be happy alone, it can make them a better friend and partner.

She and Doncic live together in Dallas

Doncic and Goltes home base has been Dallas, and while she enjoys the city now, it took some getting used to it after moving from Slovenia. She explained toCosmopolitan SIthat she was exposed to a new place with a new culture and it prompted a new way of thinking. Some of the adjustments she had to make included finding the best local grocery stores, picking a gym and making new friends.

The following year, Goltes gave a heartfelt update about the transition. “Dallas is a lot like Europe,” she shared in an Instagram Story Q&A. “I love Dallas. It reminds me of home.”

Goltes said that relocating to a new continent helped her grow as a person and gave her a new perspective — and that positively impacted her relationship with Doncic. She opened up about learning to enjoy her own company when Doncic was busy training a lot of the time.

She and Doncic have three dogs

Doncic and Goltes share three dogs: a Pomeranian named Hugo, a White Swiss Shepherd named Gia and a large breed named Viki, whom theywelcomed into their familyin February 2022. Goltes said one of the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic was being able to spend quality time with her boyfriend and pooches.

“I love that I get to spend some time with Luka, Hugo, and Gia in the quarantine,” she said in an Instagram Story Q&A. “We don’t get to spend that many days together because we are always working on our individual things. So being able to spend time together feels very good.”
