Observers noted odd signs, such as Don\u010di\u0107 following Instagram models and Goltes being notably absent from his 27th birthday celebration, which fed speculation. TMZ later reported that Goltes filed a petition for child support (not custody, but asking for attorney\u2019s fees). Hours after that, ESPN said Don\u010di\u0107 and Goltes had separated and were entering a custody dispute over their daughters, Gabriela and Olivia. Don\u010di\u0107 issued a brief statement to ESPN, saying he loves his daughters and had ended his engagement to focus on their happiness and life in the U.S. The situation intensified after Olivia\u2019s December birth: Don\u010di\u0107 missed two Lakers games to be in Slovenia, where a discussion about bringing Gabriela to the U.S. occurred, leading Goltes to call the police; authorities found no criminal offense, and Don\u010di\u0107 has not seen Goltes or the girls since.
