On Sunday, Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo married his longtime partner, Mariah Riddlesprigger. Their extravagant wedding, reportedly set in the two-time MVP’s native Greece, featured several of his current and former teammates.
Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger, who have three children together, Liam, Maverick Shai and Eva Brooke, have been together since around the mid-2010s. Thus, Bucks fans have long anticipated the couple tying the knot.
According to Greek media outlets, their three-day wedding celebration took place at Costa Navarino, a luxury beachfront destination in Messenia in Greece’s southwest Peloponnese region.
The festivities reportedly began on Friday with a white dress party. The following day, the couple hosted a Nigerian-themed bash, paying homage to Antetokounmpo’s Nigerian roots.
Per Skai TV, Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger were wed in a Greek Orthodox and Catholic hybrid ceremony, with Milwaukee star wing Khris Middleton serving as best man.
Middleton has been Antetokounmpo’s wingman throughout the latter’s NBA career, which began in 2013. The duo, which led the Bucks to the 2021 NBA title, have developed a strong bond on and off the court. Three years ago, Antetokounmpo described their journey as “unbelievable.”
Milwaukee big man Bobby Portis and Antetokounmpo’s former teammates Jrue Holiday and Wesley Matthews also attended the wedding. On Sunday, Bucks insider Nathan Marzion shared a photo on X, formerly Twitter, of the group posing together.
However, none of Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger’s wedding photos have been publicized.
According to the Proto Thema newspaper, the eight-time All-Star opted for a private ceremony without media coverage. He and Riddlesprigger reportedly even asked those involved to sign confidentiality agreements to ensure their privacy.
LeBron James purportedly attended Giannis Antetokounmpo’s wedding
While Giannis Antetokounmpo’s wedding ceremony didn’t feature any media coverage, a few other high-profile sports figures were purportedly in attendance.
Per Eurohoops, LA Lakers superstar forward LeBron James and tennis icon Serena Williams were members of the estimated 200-person guest list.
Greece men’s national basketball team coach Vassilis Spanoulis and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were also named among the attendees.
However, despite their big-name guest list, for the most part, it appears Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger successfully kept their wedding under wraps.
