Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a bona fide superstar in the league for quite some time. Usually, fans expect such stars to be in a relationship with other prominent stars from other backgrounds.

This expectation is because almost every other athlete coming into the league is thought to have suddenly elevated their life status after inking multi-million-dollar deals.

After that, the idea is that they could get anyone they want, particularly those who also earn a pretty buck through their social media presence. That is why the Greek Freak has been receiving questions about why he chose someone as ‘normal’ as Mariah Riddlesprigger.

I’ve heard so many things. ‘Why is Giannis with this wife? He could be with a model. Not one model but ten!’ But I am with my wife because she tells me the truth. She loves me. She will tell me whenever I do anything wrong. She will tell my kids the truth. I know that she will kill for my kids, and she would even kill me for them. I know that she won’t let my kids get a big head, and that’s the most important thing for me. I am in love. I am in love with her. As a woman and as a mother.

Giannis Antetokounmpo said on the AnesΤea The Podcast

The two-time league MVP was categorically clear about why he chose his wife instead of having a ‘sea of models’ for him to choose from. That is because Antetokounmpo sees what he wanted in life: someone who will give it to him like he needs to, and keep him and their family grounded.

She met my aunt and cousins on the first day. She was in the kitchen cooking with my mother, and she was hanging out with my father. My father asked where she’s from, she said California. My father was like, ‘Ah! Tupac! California Love!’ My father was screaming. I felt she was already part of the family.

This means that the connection with his family was what made him realize he need not look at models. The woman he wanted to be with was right there. Now, after several years, four children, and a dream Greek wedding, there is no separating them. The only change is that now they have to restart their life in Miami.
