Here is all the information you need about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s children.
Liam, 3
On February 10, 2020, Antetokounmpo’s first son, Liam, was born.
Liam went to his first Bucks home game in 2021, shortly after turning one year old, to support his father in person. Since then, the three-year-old has seen a lot of basketball played by Antetokounmpo. He was present in the arena when the Bucks won the NBA Championship later that year and sat courtside at the 2021 NBA All-Star game.
Even though Antetokounmpo has had a great basketball career, he has stated that he would sacrifice anything for his son. “If my son asked me, ‘Dad, when are you going to retire and play more with me?'” he said to Bucks announcer Jim Paschke in May 2021. I’d take early retirement.”
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.”
Despite his youth, Maverick has already accompanied his brother on the red carpet and to Bucks games. (At ten months old, he and his family went to the Rise premiere!)
The four-member family, with Maverick costumed as Marshall and older brother Liam as Chase, celebrated Halloween in October 2022 as Paw Patrol characters.
When Antetokounmpo was recovering from a knee injury after the 2023 NBA season, Maverick kept him company at the gym.
“Rehab with a lot of Mav, Paw Patrol, and shooting 🤎,” the basketball player captioned a set of images including his child on Instagram.
Maverick turned two in August 2023, and Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger celebrated with a combined Instagram post. They posted pictures and a video of the young child, which included a cute picture of Maverick having fun at the beach.
The happy parents captioned the photo, saying, “HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our favorite sour patch baby!” “This tiny kid brightens the world with smiles and enthusiasm that are unparalleled. Our tiny, ravenous hippo, we adore you so very much.”
Eva Brooke
Eva Brooke’s arrival was announced on Instagram by the delighted parents in September 2023.
Maverick and Liam posed on each side of their new sister as they shared a picture of their infant daughter in her car seat.
Antetokounmpo captioned the picture, saying, “Welcome Home Eva Brooke Antetokounmpo 🤍 Daddy’s Little Girl and Brothers’ Baby Sister .”
In May, the couple first declared that they were expecting their third child together. Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger posted a picture along with their two sons in front of a “BABY” sign and a pink-and-blue balloon arch in a combined post.
“Our dreams are becoming a reality 🤍,” they captioned it.
