Giannis Antetokounmpo Marries Longtime Partner Mariah Riddlesprigger In Greece

Congratulations are in order for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger, as the NBA star revealed he recently got married to his longtime lover. People exclusively shared the news, confirming the couple had a destination wedding in Greece.

The outlet reports the Milwaukee Bucks star said the decision of the location was made “as a couple” and they “were able to have all of the people that were close to us, our family.” The ceremony was held “four hours away” from his hometown.

He also confirmed they were surrounded by plenty of loved ones, continuing, “Most of my teammates, Bucks teammates, ex-teammates… they were there… friends and business partners. My kids were there.” Giannis and Mariah share three children together, sons Liam Charles, 4, and Maverick Shai, 3, and their baby girl, Eva Brooke.

“We had an incredible few days there together. We had fun,” Antetokounmpo recalls. “It was a celebration of our love. Now we’ve become one. And I’m happy that we did it. I feel like a lot of people had fun.”

The news doesn’t come as a complete surprise to people who have been keeping up with the duo, as Riddlesprigger shared photos on Instagram on Sept. 10 of what appeared to be a bridal shower. In the pics, she wore a white dress paired with a veil that was embroidered with the words “bride to be.”

“No better feeling,” she captioned the post. She also shared a few photos of herself standing in front of a sign that read “Mrs.”

The two have been together for several years, but have always kept their relationship relatively lowkey. They announced their engagement by slipping the news during a press conference last September. While speaking about their volunteer work with Milwaukee’s Diaper Mission, Antetokounmpo said, “Soon [I’m going] to be married to this beautiful woman next to me.”
