‘I’d retire right now’ – The touching story of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 3 kids makes Greek Freak would do anything

Milwaukee Bucks player Giannis Antetokounmpo has two sons and a daughter

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a father of three!

The Milwaukee Bucks forward has three children with his fiance Mariah Riddlesprigger: sons Liam, 3, and Maverick Shai, 2, as well as their newborn daughter Eva Brooke. He also has four siblings, including two NBA players: Francis, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex.

Here’s everything to know about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s kids:

Liam, 3

Antetokounmpo’s first son, Liam, was born on Feb. 10, 2020.

In 2021, shortly after his first birthday, Liam went to his first Bucks home game to support his father. Since then, the 3-year-old has seen a lot of Antetokounmpo play basketball. He was present when the Bucks won the NBA Championship later that year and sat courtside for the 2021 NBA All-Star game.

Despite Antetokounmpo’s successful basketball career, the Bucks star has made it clear that he would do anything for his son. He told Bucks announcer Jim Paschke in May 2021, “If my son asked me, ‘Dad, when are you going to retire and play more with me?’ I’d retire right now.”

On June 22, 2022, then-2-year-old Liam joined his father, mother, little brother and uncles at the premiere of Rise, a Disney+ Original film about the Antetokounmpo family and their journey to becoming the first trio of brothers who are NBA champions.

Antetokounmpo, Liam and brother Maverick all wore matching green suits to the event, and the little boys were carried onto the carpet by their parents.

Maverick Shai, 2

Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger welcomed their second child together, son Maverick, on Aug. 18, 2021.

Riddlesprigger first revealed she and the Bucks player were expecting another baby in May 2021. “Liam and Baby #2, thank you for giving me purpose! 💛,” she wrote in an Instagram post while also announcing her lifestyle brand, Sincerely Mariah.

Three months after Maverick’s arrival, the parents organized a diaper drive to celebrate his birth and give back to their community. “Becoming a mom made me realize how expensive basic needs for babies and children are,” she wrote on Instagram. “Diapers, wipes, food, etc. should be accessible and affordable for all families. I realize that I am privileged and fortunate enough to be able to afford those basic needs. With that privilege, I believe it is also my duty to give back and help other mothers and families provide those basic needs for their children.”

Maverick may be young, but he’s already joined his brother at Bucks games and on the red carpet. (He attended the Rise premiere with his family at 10 months old!)

In October 2022, the family of four dressed up as Paw Patrol characters for Halloween, with Maverick as Marshall and older brother Liam as Chase.

Following the 2023 NBA season, Antetokounmpo spent his time rehabbing a knee injury — and Maverick kept him company in the gym.

“Rehab with a lot of Mav, Paw Patrol and shooting 🤎,” the basketball player wrote on Instagram alongside a series of photos with his toddler.

In August 2023, Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger marked Maverick’s 2nd birthday with a joint Instagram post. They shared photos and a video of the toddler, including a sweet snap of Maverick playing at the beach.

“HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our favorite sour patch baby!” the proud parents wrote in the caption. “The joy and smiles this little boy brings to this world is unmatched. We love you so so so much our little hungry hungry hippo.”

Eva Brooke

In September 2023, the proud parents announced on Instagram that they had welcomed daughter Eva Brooke.

They shared a photo of their baby girl in her car seat as Maverick and Liam posed on either side of their new sister.

“Welcome Home Eva Brooke Antetokounmpo 🤍 Daddy’s Little Girl and Brothers’ Baby Sister 👦🏽👦🏽👧🏽,” Antetokounmpo captioned the photo.

The couple had first announced they were expecting their third baby together in May. In a joint post, Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger shared a photo of themselves and their two sons in front of a pink-and-blue balloon arch and a sign that said “BABY.”

“Our dreams becoming reality 🤍,” they wrote in the caption.
