    Milwaukee's royal couple is reportedly tying the knot in Greece soon.

    That's right, Bucks god Giannis Antetokounmpo and his longtime partner, Mariah Riddlesprigger.

    While the couple hasn't publicly shared details about their big day, Greek media outlets are reporting that a private, three-day celebration of the couple's nuptials will be taking place this weekend. And, several signs point to that being the case.

    Here's what we know about the power couple and their big day, err, days:

    Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo?

    Antetokounmpo, who's heading into 12th NBA season, is the Bucks' all-time leader in points, rebounds, assists and blocks.

    He was crowned regular-season MVP twice , and Finals MVP in 2021 , the year the Bucks won their first NBA title in 50 years.

    He started in his eighth consecutive NBA All -Star Game this past season. Also in 2024, he was Eastern Conference captain as the fan's top vote-getter.

    This summer, Antetokounmpo helped lead his home country of Greece to its first Olympic Games in men's basketball since 2008 and was a flag bearer for the opening ceremony , which was held on the Seine River in Paris. While the Greek Freak was "personally tormenting top countries," Greece was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

    Antetokounmpo's business portfolio is packed with national brand deals, ownership stakes and numerous other ventures.

    Who is Mariah Riddlesprigger?

    Sports have always been a "big part" of Riddlesprigger's life, too, she previously told the Journal Sentinel .

    She grew up in Fresno, California, playing volleyball and running track. She played volleyball at Rice University while majoring in sports management and sociology. She remains into fitness.

    In 2021, she launched an apparel brand with the goal of spreading positivity and building others up after facing her own struggles.

    Riddlesprigger has passionately thrown herself into supporting the Milwaukee Diaper Mission and is on its board of directors.

    The couple does an annual diaper drive to support MDM. The last BIG Give Back — put on by the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation — raised $188,000 and collected 10,000 diapers.

    When and where are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger getting married?

    According to Greek media outlets , the three-day wedding is taking place Friday to Sunday at Costa Navarino, an area of sandy beaches lined with luxury resorts on the southwest coast of Greece.

    What Giannis Antetokounmpo's and Mariah Riddlesprigger's wedding celebration may look like?

    According to Greek media outlets , the couple will exchange vows during a "hybrid ceremony" on the beach, during which they'll commit to spending the rest of their lives together. About 200 guests are expected to attend, including VIPs like LeBron James, Serena Williams and Kylian Mbappé (although his commitments with Real Madrid may keep him away), as well as members of the Bucks family, the reports said.

    Two pre-wedding parties are reportedly a part of the celebration, including a welcome party and one with Nigerian references, as Antetokounmpo is the son of Nigerian immigrants.

    The weekend's menu is expected to be a mix of American and traditional Greek cuisine.

    What signs point to Giannis Antetokounmpo's and Mariah Riddlesprigger's wedding being in Greece soon?

    Hailee Lopez , the wife of Bucks center Brook Lopez, shared images on Instagram from Greece over the past couple of days. Many include pics of or with Riddlesprigger, donned in white dresses and bridal accessories, including a "bride" crown and veil.

    Alex Lasry, a former Bucks executive, also posted to Instagram images of him and his wife in Greece.

    Fashion designer George Papadogamvros posted to social media an image of Antetokounmpo inside his shop, potentially getting fitted for a suit, about 11 weeks ago.

    How long have Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger been together?

    The couple has been dating since the mid-2010s, according to multiple reports.

    How many kids do Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger have?

    Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger have three young children together: Liam, Maverick and Eva.
