Giannis Antetokounmpo to Wed in Secret Ceremony at Costa Navarino with Star-Studded Guest List

NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is set to marry his longtime partner, Mariah Riddlesprigger, in a private ceremony at Costa Navarino, Greece.

The wedding, scheduled to take place over three days from August 30 to September 1, will be shrouded in secrecy, with over 200 guests, including top celebrities like LeBron James, expected to attend. The event has been meticulously planned to maintain privacy, featuring strict security measures, a white dress code, and traditional Nigerian attire.

The ceremony itself will be a unique hybrid event rather than a traditional religious or civil wedding, reflecting the couple’s diverse backgrounds—Giannis being Orthodox Christian and Mariah Catholic. Costa Navarino’s “W” hotel was chosen for its ability to provide a secluded environment, far from media attention and social media exposure.

To ensure complete discretion, guests will be asked to leave their phones behind, and official photos will be handled by photographers selected by the couple. Among the expected high-profile attendees are NBA legend LeBron James, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and various figures from the worlds of sports and politics. Guests will arrive via private flights to Kalamata airport, with helicopter transfers provided to the luxurious venue.

The celebration underscores Antetokounmpo’s desire to keep his personal life private, despite his global prominence. After nearly a decade together and three children, the couple’s intimate and low-key wedding is poised to stand in contrast to the typical high-profile celebrity weddings, making it a memorable event for those invited.
