Luka's overall relationship with Marinette is considered to be wholesome and slightly complicated, as their relationship is involved in a love triangle between Marinette, him, and Adrien. Luka knows that Marinette has feelings for Adrien, but instead of being jealous, he supports Marinette and encourages her to shoot her shot with him. However, he lets her know that he'll always be there for her if things don't work out. This goes to show that Luka truly cares about Marinette.

In the events of "Captain Hardrock", which is the moment when Marinette and Luka first meet, Luka and Juleka's mother sends Marinette down to go get Luka, in order to rehearse with the band. Still bothered by the fact that Adrien wasn't coming, as well as not knowing who Luka is or what he looks like, Marinette is immediately startled when she notices him and starts to stutter and mix up her words upon introducing herself.

However, when Luka teases Marinette playfully about her stuttering, he immediately regrets it upon witnessing her frowning, indicating that she was embarrassed as a result. He instantly apologizes for teasing her and begins to play his guitar in an attempt to make her feel better. As Marinette listens to his playing, he remarks about how he believes that music is "often simpler than words". As a memento, he lets her keep a guitar pick of Jagged Stone that she admired. Luka calls her a "funny girl" with a sweet smile.

The two exchange sweet glances to each other prior to rehearsal, and when Alya immediately notices Marinette's interest in Luka, she proceeds tease her about it, much to Marinette's denial. Later, he helps Marinette escape his akumatized mother. Luka calls her "unbelievably brave" in front of Ladybug, and Marinette, as Ladybug, blushes at his comment.

Luka spends time with Marinette at the ice rink in "Frozer", which makes her begin to doubt her pursuit of Adrien. Marinette blushes as she and Luka skate together and couldn't decide between him and Adrien when they both offer her their hand when she falls. Afterword, Luka figures out that Marinette has feelings for Adrien, but he just smiles and encourages her to go talk to him, thanking her for inviting him out. Marinette kisses him on the cheek and runs off to catch Adrien.

In "Silencer", Luka and Marinette are part of Kitty Section and spend more time together. Their mutual admiration for their work and care for each other is so strong that both of them enter to a studio to confront Bob Roth about stealing their ideas. When Bob threatens Marinette and her career, Luka gets angry enough to be akumatized. Even as Silencer, he retains his care for her, sparing her voice and promising to bring justice for her and Kitty Section. He also confesses his love for her, but Marinette was confused since he was possessed by the akuma. After his akumatization, Marinette asked if he meant what he said earlier, but Luka doesn't remember what he said. He said he hopes he didn't say anything mean, and repeats his declaration of love to her, this time as himself.

In "Desperada", Luka and Marinette hang out during rehearsals for Kitty Section, where he teaches her how to play his guitar. In season 3 finale, "The Battle of the Miraculous", he was working on a song for her, that he showed to her briefly before it was finished. Luka also helps by giving Marinette a lift to Le Grand Paris hotel, which she kissed him on the cheek for. Later that day, Marinette breaks down in front of him, crying about all her crushing responsibilities and how she feels like she can never be who she truly is. Luka holds Marinette and comforts her, letting her know that she can always be herself around him. Then, when he sees one of Miracle Queen's wasps flying towards them, Luka shields Marinette from it, taking the hit for her. After the battle, he goes out with Marinette and her friends for ice cream and plays her the finished song he wrote especially for her.

In "Truth", it's official that he and Marinette are dating, but he grows worried with her constant disappearances and asks Marinette what's going on. When she tells him she can't say he becomes devastated enough that he is akumatized. Luka tries to resist, telling Shadow Moth that he should let Marinette tell him on her own instead of prying into her personal business. Eventually he gives in, but before he could be taken over completely, Luka tells Marinette to run. After he is deakumatized, Luka understands that with Marinette's secret, the two couldn't be together. He lets Marinette know that he'll wait until they can together again.

In "Crocoduel", he becomes saddened that Marinette continues to avoid him to the point where he nearly gets akumatized but avoids it with the help of his friends.
