MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo married his longtime girlfriend, Mariah Riddlesprigger, on Sunday in Greece, according to media reports.

The ceremony took place at the Costa Navarino resort near Pylos in the Peloponnese, the culmination of a three-day event that included a white dress party on Friday and a Nigerian-themed party on Saturday.

Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger, who have three children together, married in a “hybrid” Greek Orthodox-Catholic ceremony. Bucks forward Khris Middleton served as Antetokounmpo’s best man. The two Bucks players have been teammates since 2013, when Antetokounmpo was drafted by the Bucks and Detroit traded Middleton to Milwaukee.

The Proto Thema newspaper website said Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger wanted their wedding to be private, without media coverage.

“It is remarkable that everyone working on the wedding signed a confidentiality agreement to ensure the couple’s complete privacy,” the newspaper reported.

According to EuroHoops, the 200 high-profile guests included Giannis’ former Bucks teammate Jrue Holiday, LeBron James, the Bucks’ owners, tennis icon Serena Williams and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger began dating in 2014. The couple now have three children: son Liam, born in February 2020; son Maverick, born in August 2021; and daughter Eva, born in September 2023.

In October, Antetokounmpo will begin his 12th season as one of the NBA’s best players. The Bucks superstar won back-to-back MVP awards in 2019 and 2020 and was voted NBA Finals MVP during Milwaukee’s 2021 NBA Championship run.
