On December 6, Giannis Antetokounmpo turned 31, with the Milwaukee Bucks basketball star receiving birthday wishes from all corners of the globe. Among the many messages, one stood out—naturally, the public dedication from his wife, Mariah, who chose to express her love through social media.
Mariah posted a heartfelt photo on Instagram, where the couple is seen embracing and smiling. In the caption, she simply, but meaningfully, wrote: "Happy birthday, my love," accompanying the message with heart emojis, showing how close-knit their family is.
Giannis has never hidden how important Mariah is in his life. Among the many interviews in which he has spoken about their relationship, one of the most memorable was on "The 2Night Show" with Grigoris Arnaoutoglou. There, he revealed how everything began a decade ago. He shared that he met Mariah in Las Vegas, where she worked for the NBA.
He saw her walking by, and as he confessed, his first thought was that she was someone he could picture his future with. Even though she didn’t give him a second glance at the time, Giannis felt a sense of familiarity—something in her calm aura and simplicity reminded him of his mother. These qualities were what won him over from the start.
Today, ten years later, Giannis and Mariah have built a beautiful, close-knit family, often sharing moments filled with love, respect, and smiles with their audience, just as Mariah did on his 31st birthday..
The Antetokounmpo family—now including sons Liam and Maverick, daughter Eva, and their newest addition—continues to be a source of joy and motivation for Giannis both on and off the court. Happy birthday, Greek Freak!
