"Most of my teammates, Bucks teammates, ex-teammates... they were there," Antetokounmpo, 29, added. He also noted that his "friends and business partners" were alongside him as well. "My kids were there," he quipped.
The philanthropic couple, who together launched the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation back in 2022, kept talks about their ceremony under wraps leading up the big day. While much is still left unknown, the one-time NBA champion said the joyful event took place just "four hours away" from his hometown.
"We had an incredible few days there together. We had fun," the power forward, nicknamed the "Greek Freak," recalled. "It was a celebration of our love. Now we've become one. And I'm happy that we did it. I feel like a lot of people had fun."
The newlywed couple share two sons: Liam Charles, 4, and Maverick Shai, 3, and their new baby girl, Eva Brooke.
Giannis Antetokounmpo won the NBA's Most Valuable Player Awards in 2019 and 2020. He became one of three players, alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James, as the only players in the league's history to win two MVPs before turning 26 years old.
Antetokounmpo also led the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA championship since 1971 in 2021.
