NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and his and his longtime girlfriend Mariah Riddlesprigger announced that the couple is welcoming their third child together, Media Take Out has confirmed.
The couple, who already share sons Liam Charles, 3, and Maverick Shai, 2.
Mariah is the founder of the apparel brand Sincerely, Mariah, a collection of loungewear pieces inspired “by all of the remarkable people” she’s met over the years.
And while you’d expect Black Twitter to be happy for the couple … instead they are criticizing the NBA All star, for impregnating a woman with three kids, without putting a ring on her.
Giannis is a Greek-Nigerian professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Antetokounmpo’s country of origin, in addition to his size, speed, strength, and ball-handling skills have earned him the nickname “Greek Freak”. Antetokounmpo is widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards and one of the greatest European players of all time.
Born and raised in Athens to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos in Athens. In 2011, he began playing for the club’s senior team before entering the 2013 NBA draft, where he was selected 15th overall by the Bucks. In 2016–17 he led the Bucks in all five major statistical categories and became the first player in NBA history to finish a regular season in the top 20 in all five statistics of total points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
He received the Most Improved Player award in 2017. Antetokounmpo has received seven All-Star selections, including being selected as an All-Star captain in 2019, 2020 and 2023 as he led the Eastern Conference in voting in these three years.
One of the most decorated players in NBA history, Antetokounmpo won consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player Awards in 2019 and 2020, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James as the only players in NBA history to win two MVPs before turning 26. Along with his MVP award, he was also named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2020, becoming only the third player after Michael Jordan (1988) and Hakeem Olajuwon (1994) to win both awards in the same season. In 2021, Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to their first NBA championship since 1971 and was named Finals MVP. The same year, he was honored as one of the league’s greatest players of all-time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team
