The post was met with wholesome reactions and comments as fans congratulated the Mavericks star for this incredible moment with his fiancée. According to reports, the child was welcomed last night, with the social media post being the official public announcement.

Originally, NBA reporter Marc Stein reported earlier today that Luka Doncic will not be available to suit up against the Memphis Grizzlies for "personal reasons." Given this important moment in Doncic's life, it causes for celebration as the Mavericks guard is now a father.

Moreover, the couple finally tied the knot on July 7, with Doncic proposing at Lake Bled in Slovenia. Dating back to a 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan SI, Anamaria Goltes gushed about being together with the four-time NBA All-Star.

"People have [a] best friend, boyfriend, true love," Goltes said. "I'm lucky they are all the same person."
