Wife Mariah Writes Emotional Note for Giannis Antetokounmpo as Daughter’s Identity Is Finally Revealed

“To My Husband, Look at this life you created! We love you μπαμπά. You make us proud every single day. Your Team”. It was only around a month ago when Giannis Antetokounmpo’s wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, paid tribute to her beau by highlighting the children for whom they are creating a life. That post did not even account for the newborn, Aria Capri, who came into this world on May 2nd. While seeing the impressive life the ‘Greek Freak’ has created for himself on the basketball court, we also often forget about the life and people he cherishes the most when off of it. Recently, the player decided to combine both of his lives by getting his eldest daughter involved in an ad that is sure to melt our hearts.

The official Instagram account of ‘GirlDads Care’ recently featured Giannis Antetokounmpo in their new ad. Also making her acting debut was none other than the NBA player and Mariah’s 1-year-old daughter, Eva Brooke. Both father and daughter were seen arriving at the court and practicing together with the ball. Eva tried to copy each and every one of Giannis’s moves, from wiggling with the ball to jumping and rotating with it. Handing an object that was almost half the size of her, Eva was certainly the one who was drawing the most attention.

And now, Giannis Antetokounmpo himself shared an adorable post with two photos, writing, “First photoshoot with my little star ”. The two images, subtle and tender, avoid spotlighting her directly — yet reveal more than ever before. In the first, Eva, seated and tiny next to her towering dad, reaches out to feed him something. In the second, she’s suspended in the air above Giannis, her two pigtails unmistakable as her small hands affectionately clutch his face. Giannis lies on the court beneath her, head propped on a ball, grinning — not as the ‘Greek Freak’, but as a proud girl dad.

While fans had seen glimpses of Eva in past posts from Giannis and Mariah, her face was always covered with a heart emoji — a protective gesture familiar to many NBA families. Luka Doncic, for example, has still never shown his daughter’s face publicly, keeping every post turned toward the back of the camera. So what changed now?

Possibly nothing — just a quiet, powerful moment between a father and daughter, captured beautifully. And while it was Giannis who shared the photos, it was Mariah who echoed the emotion perfectly in the comments:
“So blessed that this is my life ”

A sentiment that speaks not only to their present but to everything they’re building together — on and off the court.
