NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo and his longtime love, Mariah Riddlesprigger, have officially become husband and wife in a romantic ceremony in Greece. Surrounded by 200 of their closest friends and family, the couple celebrated their union at the luxurious Costa Navarino resort.

Several of Antetokounmpo’s NBA peers, including Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, reportedly attended the joyous occasion. The wedding, described by insiders as a “Greek Orthodox and Catholic hybrid ceremony,” blended the cultural backgrounds of both Giannis and Mariah, highlighting the unique bond between the two.

The couple’s wedding festivities began with a stylish welcome party, where guests followed a “strictly white” dress code, setting the tone for an elegant weekend. Another celebration followed, featuring a Nigerian-inspired event honoring Antetokounmpo’s heritage. This cultural nod was a special highlight of the celebration, showcasing the couple’s deep connection to their roots.

In the days leading up to the wedding, members of the couple’s inner circle shared photos from their time in Greece. Hailee Lopez, wife of Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez, posted an Instagram photo featuring Mariah in a white mini dress and veil, offering a sweet glimpse into the pre-wedding celebrations.

“Celebrating you is easy,” Lopez captioned the photo. Bucks star Khris Middleton and former teammate Jrue Holiday were also spotted at the celebration, according to reports from Euro Hoops.

Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger began dating in 2014. The couple now have three children: a son Liam, born in February 2020; a son Maverick, born in August 2021; and a daughter Eva, born in September 2023.

After years of growing together, they tied the knot in a ceremony that perfectly blended their love, faith, and cultural traditions.

This fall, Antetokounmpo will start his 12th season as one of the best players in the NBA. The Bucks superstar won back-to-back MVP awards in 2019 and 2020 and was NBA Finals MVP in Milwaukee’s 2021 NBA Championship in 2021.

As Giannis enters another season with the Milwaukee Bucks, he embarks on this next chapter of life with Mariah by his side. Their Greek wedding will undoubtedly be a cherished memory for both the couple and their family for years to come.

With their love story continuing to evolve, fans are excited to see what’s next for this dynamic duo as they balance family life and their busy careers.
