Giannis Antetokounmpo’s playoff heartbreak may not last long as his wife, Mariah Antetokounmpo, just announced the birth of their fourth child. Mariah posted a photo of their newborn on Instagram with her name, Ariah Capri. It’s the couple’s first baby since they got married. Their other three kids were all born before they tied the knot in Greece in 2024.
Here’s Mariah’s announcement:

Giannis and Mariah gave birth to Liam in 2020, Maverick Shai in 2021 and Eva Brooke in 2023. The couple never officially announced their pregnancy. However, eagle-eyed fans speculated that Giannis and Mariah’s fourth child was on its way after the latter’s pics suggested that she had a baby bump.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s wife, Mariah Antetokounmpo, pens emotional message
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s wife, Mariah Antetokounmpo, shared an emotional message for the Bucks superstar on Tuesday after he suffered his third consecutive first-round playoff exit following the Bucks’ Game 5 loss to the Pacers in overtime. Tyrese Haliburton punched the game-winner over Giannis on a drive to end his season and cancel his monster game.
Giannis had 30 points, 20 rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and two blocks on 9 of 17 shooting. He had a spectacular series overall, averaging 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks.
However, Giannis’ efforts went in vain as the Bucks struggled because of injuries again. Last year, it was Giannis who was injured, and this year, Damian Lillard missed Game 1 and wasn’t 100% for Games 2 and 3 before his season ended with an Achilles tear in Game 4.
After the loss, Giannis’ wife Mariah immediately comforted the Bucks superstar with an emotional Instagram post, with photos of their family.
“To My Husband, Look at this life you created! We love you μπαμπά. You make us proud every single day. 💛 Your Team,” Mariah captioned it.
Giannis Antetokounmpo may have a decision to make after this season regarding his future in Milwaukee. With the 30-year-old in his true prime, Milwaukee in its current state may not offer him a chance at another championship, which could end his tenure with the Bucks this summer.
