Giannis Antetokounmpo says his favorite part of his wedding was what happened after all the festivities.

On Monday, during the Milwaukee Bucks media day, Giannis was asked to share some details about his wedding with his longtime girlfriend, Mariah Riddlesprigger, and the 2021 NBA Champion hinted at how much fun he had post-wedding. According to the 2021 NBA Finals MVP, he loved everything about his wedding and appreciated their friends and family attending, but the real fun happened afterward.

"I'm very happy that we were able to get this done," said Giannis. "It's been a long time. I've been feeling some heat for a long time. I was happy that our friends, love ones you know, came to support us. You said what was my favorite part from the wedding? I think the wedding night. After the wedding. That was my favorite part."

Giannis has never shied away from showing his sensual side with his wife, as he's made several sexual references over the years, such as leaving eggplant emojis in her comment section or calling himself a freak in the sheets. In a conversation with People, Giannis announced that he had tied the knot with Riddlesprigger in Greece, although he hadn't given an exact date. The couple have three children: Liam Charles, four, Maverick Shai, three, and Eva Brooke, one.

"We were able to have all of the people that were close to us, our family," he told People. "Most of my teammates, Bucks teammates, ex-teammates... they were there...We had an incredible few days there together. We had fun. 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."
