Giannis Antetokounmpo, the NBA superstar affectionately known as the “Greek Freak,” and his wife Mariah Riddle sprigger are gearing up to welcome the newest member of their family. The couple, already parents to three adorable children—Liam, 4, Maverick, 3, and Eva, 1—are overjoyed to expand their “team” with baby number four.
Giannis, the Nigerian-born Greek basketball sensation who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks, shared the happy news on Instagram. In a series of heartwarming photos, Mariah’s glowing baby bump takes center stage as the couple strolls together, radiating pure happiness. Keeping it simple, Giannis captioned the post: “Living’ life on beat 💖.”
A Shared Dream of a Big Family
The announcement comes just months after Giannis and Mariah tied the knot in a private ceremony in September. The couple has been open about their desire for a large family. During an Instagram Live session last year, Mariah mentioned their plans, saying, “We want a large family. I don’t think we’re done. We’re definitely not done.”
As they prepare for their growing household, Giannis and Mariah remain dedicated to balancing their personal lives with their professional endeavors. Mariah, an entrepreneur and former collegiate volleyball player, continues to inspire with her work and family values, while Giannis remains a powerhouse on the basketball court.
Embracing Roots and Building Legacy
Earlier this year, Giannis released a deeply personal documentary, Ugo: A Homecoming Story, in collaboration with WhatsApp. The film chronicles his journey back to Nigeria, his birthplace, as he reconnects with his roots, celebrates his cultural heritage, and shares the profound influences that shaped him. The documentary also highlights his dedication to family—a theme that resonates deeply with fans.
As the Antetokounmpo family awaits their newest arrival, it’s clear that love, unity, and heritage remain at the heart of their story. Whether on the court or off, Giannis continues to prove that his greatest victories come from the bonds he shares with his loved ones.
Congratulations to the growing Antetokounmpo family!
