Everyone was convinced Luka Doncic moved on with a Stranger Things star after ending his engagement, but he just revealed where his heart is focused

After an impressive win against the New York Knicks without LeBron James on board, the Lakers’ star Luka Doncic has found himself centered on family problems. With him fighting for his daughters’ custody following a broken engagement with Anamaria Goltes, the athlete has now addressed rumors about dating an American actress, Madelyn Cline.​

The talk about these two being interested in each other didn’t spark overnight; it had been speculated about a while ago. But according to TMZ reports, Luka has now denied the rumors, saying there is ‘absolutely nothing’ happening between him and the Stranger Things actress.​

By saying this, the player has seemingly put an end to the speculation. But this doesn’t seem to ease his current situation, as his separation from his fiancee could complicate Doncic’s plan to take his daughters back to the USA with him.

It looks like his separation from Goltes has fueled his dating rumors with Cline

The dating rumors have been under the audience’s radar for quite a while. But Doncic’s fresh news of a separation from his fiancee seems to fuel speculation further, as the audience tends to link the two events. Fans assumed the two were dating, as they linked their recent social media activity to news of Doncic’s breakup.

​

​The key triggers include mutual Instagram follows between Luka and Madelyn, noticed around early March 2026, which fueled the buzz as the audience connected it with Anamaria Goltes removing their couple photos from her profile. Additionally, there were unverified claims about the athlete and the actress being together in LA, which kept the buzz going among the audience. Now, with the player personally addressing the situation, the speculation has quickly turned untrue.

The Slovenian NBA player Luka Doncic has established himself as one of the league’s elite over eight seasons, earning Rookie of the Year honors and multiple All-NBA selections. He has entered the 2025-26 season with around 13,500 points, 3,700 rebounds, and 3,900 assists in regular-season games. Despite these noteworthy achievements, the ongoing conflicts in his personal life could potentially affect his performance.

After moving to Slovenia with his daughters, Anamaria has filed a petition in California for child support and legal fees without pursuing formal custody yet. This opens the possibility that two of them could be fighting in court over their daughters’ custody. Regardless, the dating rumors with Madelyn are no longer a concern for the NBA star.
