Giannis Antetokounmpo And Mariah Riddlesprigger Say 'I Do'!

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and longtime girlfriend Mariah Riddlesprigger tied the knot quietly over the weekend.

According to media reports, the couple had a private three-day event that included a Nigerian-themed party and a White Party at the Costa Navarino resort near Pylos in the Peloponnese.

The NBA star and his longtime love said, "I do" at a "hybrid" Greek Orthodox and Catholic ceremony in Greece over the weekend. The Proto Thema newspaper reported that the couple wanted their wedding to be private with zero media coverage.

"The demands for privacy were extremely high, with measures ensuring that no one could approach, except the guests and staff of the reception, while reportedly the only way to approach someone was through... drone," the newspaper reported.

"Remarkably, everyone working on the wedding has signed a confidentiality agreement to ensure the couple's complete privacy."

Bucks forward Khris Middleton, who has been Antetokounmpo's teammate since 2013, served as best man. Also in attendance were LeBron James, Serena Williams, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Jrue Holiday, and the Bucks' owners, among around 200 others.

Photos shared on social media earlier this year had some people wondering if the couple already tied the knot or were maybe just celebrating their engagement.

Riddlesprigger shared photos from her sister's Instagram page that show her wearing a diamond ring and a white dress looking into a mirror that had "It's a Forever Kind of Thing" and "M|G" written on it.

Another Instagram Story shared by Riddlesprigger shows champagne glasses under white balloons and the words, "Mrs. Antetokounmpo."

Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger met and began dating in 2014. They are now parents to three children, sons Liam, 4, and Maverick, 3, and daughter Eva, born in September 2023.

Last October, during an Instagram Live, Riddlesprigger revealed that Antetokounmpo wants more kids...many more kids!

"We want a large family. I don't think we're done," Riddlesprigger said. "We're definitely not done."

She also made it a point to reveal how many kids Antetokounmpo hopes to have.

"Giannis would have 10 if he could," she said. "But I think five or six the most." Antetokounmpo then yelled from the other room, "Five? You said seven!"

During the Instagram Live, Riddlesprigger shared the two sides of Antetokounmpo - the basketball side and the non-basketball side.

"The basketball Giannis, we know his routines and follow his routine and I try to make his life easier. And with the boys and Eva just trying to surround him with as much love when he's not on the court because he has so much stress and everything going on there," Riddlesprigger said.

"And then on the other side is fun Giannis, which people get glimpses of here and there. It's really awesome both ways. The season is a little more stressful, a bit more organized. We have our routines; we have our days. Then the off-season, when he does have breaks, it's just a really good time. We have a really good time together. It's just so much fun. He's really funny, so it's a good time."

Giving back to their community is something the couple feels is very important.

Riddlesprigger started an annual drive after they welcomed their second son in 2021. The driving force was realizing how expensive it is to have two children in diapers at the same time. To celebrate Maverick's arrival into the world, the couple held Maverick's Diaper Mission in collaboration with Milwaukee Diaper Mission.

Since then, the event has become the annual BIG Give Back, and they both help out with the cause each year.

"There's no way I can help the whole world, but you can start somewhere," Riddlesprigger said at a news conference, according to Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I think this is where we start and we continue to build and help as many people as we possibly can."

Antetokounmpo added, "There's a lot of families out there that are in need of diapers. My family was one of them. It was hard. Growing up, I didn't understand all the sacrifices people have to make in order for them to raise their kids."
