giannis doesnt have to defend a damn thing. anyone trashing the woman you married doesnt need a response.

I went to school with his wife and always hate when he has to do interviews like this, she’s amazing and has probably made him a better person overall

This is the type of thing that some are going to think is so obvious an answer that it makes him weird for even saying it, but if you’ve seen what attitudes kids have towards dating these days, this is definitely the kind of perspective we want celebrities impressing on them.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: “Yes. I knew she would be my wife. I knew it immediately. I met her in Vegas. After Vegas, I tried to talk to her, but it didn’t work out. Then later she said, ‘I want to get to know you.’ I said, ‘You want to get to know me?’ So I started flying to Miami. You know how a lot of girls say, ‘You’re going to fly me out?’ I was like, ‘Mm-mm.’”

“She was like, ‘Say less.’ A week later, I was in Miami, and she showed up. I was like, ‘You came?’ She said, ‘Yeah, I want to get to know you.’ Then she started spending time with my mom and my dad while he was still alive. The moment I saw her, I knew she was the person I wanted to be with. From the moment she came to Miami until today, she has never left my side. Now we have four kids.”

What he doesn’t say here is that he was too shy in 2014 in Vegas to actually get her number himself. He had a friend do it 😅

For everyone trashing on her looks, she’s had to endure 4 Giannis sized pregnancies. If you saw her when she was playing volleyball in college, you’d see why Giannis was so infatuated, and has been in love ever since.

so far this comment section is about as immature and annoying as you’d expect

Those who criticize him and his marriage are probably alone or with someone that doesn’t love them.

Giannis is a great example for many, many reasons. Too bad he got involved with Kalshi & stuff tho, soured on him a bit since then

She sounds like the perfect woman. Not everything is about looks.

Falling in love with a woman twice, second time being a mother

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before. Such a lovely thought

Holy incels in the comments. 

A man loves his wife and is happily married and somehow people find a way to find issues with it. You can’t win in this world. 

He’s no stranger to love. He knows the rules.

We’re gonna question athletes for being faithful to their wives now? Giannis shouldn’t even have to answer questions like this.

Porn brained weirdos commenting on another man’s wife smh

Redditors when real life relationships aren’t about looksmaxxing and smashing your face with a hammer and people actually just fall in love instead

Uh buddy, the answer was “my wife is more beautiful than any model”

Giannis is a wife guy! Love to see it!

Remember kids, when someone (especially your wife/gf) says “you could be with whoever you wanted”.. the answer is “I am” not “no I couldn’t”

None of this conversation is about looks, everyone in the comments saying that he’s not calling his wife beautiful are completely missing the point

Ngl if you have ever in your life had the thought about another man “ why is he with her he could be with some hot model” look in the mirror and consider if it is even worth carry on with your life.

God himself couldn’t get me to admit to having a thought like that.

She played volleyball at a collegiate level, find those pics of her…

She had kids. Women’s bodies can change after childbirth and anybody dumb enough to think this way probably doesn’t have kids (a kids life they’re a part of anyway).

Dumb stuff to say

He does not have to justify his relationship with anybody let alone a bunch of immature idiots like us

Fuck these haters. Probably a bunch of dudes playing 2k in their moms’ basements.

And because she is beautiful. You forgot to say that Giannia

Even addressing this seems kinda disrespectul in a way

The fact that this man is even asked questions like this about his wife must be insanely infuriating

Dawg just call your wife beautiful lmao

thats awesome

Buncha weirdos cockwatching Giannis because he’s with a woman he loves.

Always been weird to me.

Am I insane? This is a horrible thing to say. Its like saying to your partner “looks arent important to me” there’s an underlying “you’re ugly” was it really so hard not to dunk on his wife and say “she is everything I’m after in a partner”. If my girlfriend said this I’d be heartbroken.

He found a real one, good for him that he recognizes it. Feel like it’s kind of rare to see that with players nowadays, thinking of Luka, Ant, Zion, etc

That’s also a great line by the interviewer, “so you fell in love with her twice, once as a wife and a second time as a mother”

Why did we need to know this?

Did she tell him he is wrong about the kalshi sponsor?

She should’ve told him that kalshi was a shit decision.

Why are people gassing this up? This sounds bad. like a hedge fund guy justifying their personal assistant

Why is Giannis with this wife? He could be with a model.

But I am with my wife because she tells me the truth

Ayesha curry went through a whole depression phase cause she thought curry could feel like this and here’s giannis saying it about his wife. lame af

Keep in mind, Giannis volunteered this information lol

what were the Kalshi odds of Gianniis defending his wife on a podcast

Some real emotional immaturity in this comment section.

Giannis ain’t saying that his wife is ugly, obviously. He’s mostly talking about how and why he decided to settle down with her and get married, and how much that and his family as a whole means to him.

When he says “could be with a model, not one but 10” he isn’t talking about how he could have gotten himself married with a prettier woman, but could’ve not gotten married and instead went from relationship to relationship, which he clearly thinks is worse since it doesn’t lead to emotional development and a happy home life.

One of the star players for my favorite soccer team, Declan Rice, is with his childhood sweetheart and she had to delete her social media because she was avalanched with the same disgusting comments about how she looks and how he “could be with hot women” as if that’s the only reason to be with a woman.

The world has WAY too many dudes that don’t respect women as people fr.

Only incel losers use those talking points against Giannis. Love that the man loves his wife

Giannis really is the most grounded superstar in modern sports. Bro made $200M+ and stayed completely true to the woman who was there from the start. “She holds the keys to my wallet” is such a wholesome line from a guy with generational wealth.

If you’re the kind of person to question this, then you are a miserable and mentally ill person.

We blow as a society.

You love who you love.

Let’s ask you’re wives why they are with you

Beautifully said. Very refreshing to hear this from a pro athlete, especially one at his level

Some people are way too invested in these players’ personal lives.

Why people acting like giannis’ wife is ugly. Shes had 4 kids. Most likely one after another. You arent gonna have time to shed weight and all that after baby after baby.

this sub really showing its age with these comments. If you have a spouse (doubt it) use Gianni’s phrasing to describe them to them and see how they react lmao

His wife also helped him when he flipped out over Jamie Taco. Incredible woman.

Bro is patting himself on the back for not leaving the mother of his children for models. Lmao.

Are folks high? She’s very pretty.

fuckin hell I had to go google what his wife looks like as this makes her sound like people think she’s an absolute ogre but she not ugly or anything

Wtf? If my man ever broadcasted that I’m not beautiful but I have his keys and I take care of his kids and he-he-he loves me, idk man I’d die.

Dudes who never got the women they wanted always project onto others. They feel just because they’d go for the most vapid IG model or boob streamer that they simp for if they got rich and famous everyone else should do the same. Guys who always got play look for different things. Lames will just never understand.

Giannis you have a beautiful family and that’s more than other people can say. Don’t ever explain yourself to those losers who have nothing to show for their miserables lives.

There’s a lot of people without love in this world

Imagine telling a man that loves his wife that he should subject himself to the fantasies of others

Wow

I’ll NEVER understand why mega millionaire athletes prioritize having to date or marry a model. Give me the girl with the good resourceful head on her shoulders ten times out of ten.
