Giannis Antetokounmpo is not thinking about trades or the off-season grind right now. He’s just vibing at home, buried in bottles and baby wipes—and honestly, it suits him.
A few weeks ago, he and Mariah Riddlesprigger added baby number four to the squad. Aria Capri. Cute name, right? But Giannis, being Giannis, is already messing around online, half-joking about going for five. Dude dropped a TikTok over the weekend with the caption: “When she tells me to get ready for baby #5,” and he’s just cheesin’ like a kid who heard there’s no school tomorrow.
It’s the most Giannis thing ever. Silly, genuine, totally unbothered. Yeah, he’s a two-time MVP and all that—but when he’s off the court, he’s just a tall dad in dad mode, probably with baby spit on his hoodie.
He and Mariah have been solid since 2014. Longtime thing. Their family? Growing like a dynasty. Liam came first in 2020, then Maverick in 2021. After that, Eva in 2023, and now Aria in May 2025. They even got married last year in Greece, quiet and lowkey, while Mariah was pregnant. Real-life stuff. No press, no fuss.
So if they suddenly announced baby #5? Honestly? Not even surprising.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Isn’t Going Anywhere—At Least Not Yet
Meanwhile, NBA Twitter’s still spinning with “What if Giannis leaves?” talk—especially now that there’s word Damian Lillard might not suit up next season.
But ESPN’s Brian Windhorst shut that noise down real quick.
“There’s not gonna be a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade in the short-term future,” he said on Get Up. “The league has come to terms with the realization that the Bucks are gonna keep him and Giannis is not gonna ask for a trade.”
That said, the Bucks front office better be cooking something. Draft’s coming. Free agency’s close. And while Giannis isn’t saying much, you know he’s clocking everything.
But right now? He’s got other priorities. Like late-night feeds, TikToks, and maybe thinking, “Are we really about to run it back with baby number five?”
